Honestly, I've always just wanted Terran to have more viable tech options late game. They have some fun toys high in the tech tree but they aren't viable because they all have energy bars or otherwise are hard countered. | ||

Yeah but many protoss are gonna be proactive rather than reactive. Terrans wanting buffs for mech are so focused on late game, but the point of the video is to plant the idea that a large portion of mech games might ultimately come down to early game, defending against protoss all-ins and early high tech harass. Reading some of the comments, it doesn't seem like most people picked up that point, since I spent more time giving background about it than emphasizing it. | ||

I guess I'm just confused about what distinguishes 'reactive' and 'proactive' play since: a) English is crappy and these aren't actually antonyms. b) Wouldn't a 'proactive' Protoss just be 'reacting' to the fact that Terran mech might be really strong on a certain map? | ||

That is a good point that most people haven't picked up on. People also don't pick up on the fact that bio was completely useless in BW TvP and it would be been ridiculous if bio was viable in BW TvP.for the same reasons.

Perhaps too off topic, but hiyA has been winning some games recently against good players with rax FE bio recently. + Show Spoiler [hiyA Bio] + | ||

you assume it is impossible to determine from P's perspective T's composition in time and T is the one that dictates the game and P has to be reactive. why is it impossible to have a P macro build that defends all terran strategies? especially with the MSC and all the scouting possibilities. | ||

Couple of interesting ideas mentioned in there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTJGVhUkHXc I don't agree with this analysis, even as a protoss player. When Terran commits to either bio or mech it's so obvious that mech vs anti-bio and bio vs anti-mech can't be made as arguments against buffing mech unless Terran is all-inning (although admittedly Terran all-ins is my main concern regarding buffing Mech.) Also in terms of composition I think it's fair to say that anti-bio Protoss is stronger than bio terran late-game. Terran makes up for this by having a more mobile army and counter-attacking and harassing options with drops while being able to keep their scv count lower than protoss's probe count by building extra Orbitals and using mules to get a mineral advantage. Meanwhile protoss, while being more gas expensive becomes almost unstoppable in a head-on engagement once they have are able to macro off of 3+ gas-mining bases, 2 robos, 2 forges and a lot of gateways. The challenge for protoss is to survive to that point without fallign too far behind and then being able to deal with the economy that Terran has been able to develop while defending counter-attacks and possible base-trades. In Protoss vs mech you would think that Mech should be in the situation that Protoss is in, defending until they get all the right tech pieces, but it seems like in the late-game having all the correct tech still isn't enough for Terran to get a composition that's cost-effective enough to have a chance against high economy anti-mech protoss composition. | ||
