It is appreciated you are trying, but this is something that has been known since beta. Just today was the first time someone created a thread on TL about it XD | ||

vs Thors : 4x 300/200 = 1200min/800gaz and yet... while using the magic box trick... you still lose 4 mutas I mean... if you want to do real test.. send 12 mutas vs 4 thors (or 8-9 thors vs 24 mutas)... and compair! mutas will get raped or get about even! Than in real games you'll get about 5-6 SCVs that will repair thors.... so if you want REAL IN-GAME test... send in some 5-6 SCV to repair the thors  Voila your tests.Another thing also. Why did you put all thors clumped up? it's pretty rare that when you get in a game that all thors will take damage from mutal bounce... it's all small things that invalidate your test. it's like saying.... Hey guys Marauders are totaly demolishing Ultralisks (whiles it's the opposite) I will put 1 ultralisk vs 20 marauders... and will say here is how you do it. Hit stim focus with the 20 marauders on 1 ultralisk BAM! See... I call that the magic stim use! Yep! Just wanted to help the terran community! | ||

I mean sure, it helps to know that trick, but its still showing 2400 gas worth of mutas vs 800 gas of thors. 24 mutas against 12 thors would be a whole lot less in favor of the mutas, even though not stacking them up does help | ||

And about microing mutas: You mean taking a muta that is at 3 range of a thor, pulling it back to 11 range to be out of range of the thor, before the muta dies? Probably not worth it at all, you better stay there and dps rather than moving out while not dpsing, letting others take splash, and probably still having it die. Plus, the thors can actually focus fire the mutas, the mutas cant focus fire the thors without clumping up. | ||

And why stim if you are going to one hit? :D In the video he didn't move his injured muta at all. Thors didn't focus fire I still say check's clockwise micro is the best option, he didn't lose any mutas. Why are people thinking about using mutas against thors again? | ||

Didn't clumped the thors (they have 41924miles range and in-game they are rarely clumped) 4xThors vs 12xmutalisks = 2-3 thors alive 1200/800 vs 1200/1200 + Show Spoiler + Best test so far in the favor of Mutalisks: ![[image loading]](http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8751/screenshot2010082100354.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8062/screenshot2010082100362.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9213/screenshot2010082100365.jpg) 8xThors vs 24xmutalisk = 5-6 thors alive 2400/1600 vs 2400/2400 + Show Spoiler + Best test so far in the favor of Mutalisks: ![[image loading]](http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3005/screenshot2010082100395.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/7696/screenshot2010082100402.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9075/screenshot2010082100405.jpg) 9xThors vs 24xmutalisk = 7thors alive 2700/1800 vs 2400/2400 + Show Spoiler + Best test so far in the favor of Mutalisks: ![[image loading]](http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/5661/screenshot2010082100450.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5661/screenshot2010082100450.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/3306/screenshot2010082100454.jpg) 1x thors vs 3 mutalisks = 1thors with +50%hp 300/200 vs 300/300 + Show Spoiler + Best test so far in the favor of Mutalisks: ![[image loading]](http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/9071/screenshot2010082100582.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9071/screenshot2010082100582.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9029/screenshot2010082100585.jpg) add in SCVs to the calcules and... i'm pretty sure there is less dead thors Yep! So basicaly... a ground unit that pretty much rapes every ground unit zerg has at the exception of Ultralisk will also own equal air forces. [sarcasm]Seems balanced to me![/sarcasm] Basicaly thors were fine in beta prior the "splash damage buff". Now they are just ridiculous | ||

His example may be bad, but in the unit tester If you make 3 Thors and 18 SCVs, then create a muta army of equal value you very easily win. Thor and Muta damage have not changed since I did this in the tester during late beta. Use move to fly overhead, press stop and wait till they are all stopped, attack Thors 1 at a time. | ||
