What are you guys transitioning to late game? Thors? Tanks? Ravens?

Not even necessarily looking for anything specific, but outside of early/mid game, what do you guys do? I'm just completely lost.

Also, how the hell do you counter Colossus when you're going M+M?

Would the Raven's defense drone block their laser, does it block tank damage?

Which matchup are you talking about?

(I'm assuming TvP)
I haven't really made it to the late game in any matchup at all actually. My mid game is usually a push of Thor w/ 4-5 scvs repairing and [depending on what they're doing] reapers/medivac/marauders/hellions behind. Since the buildings are so fragile in SC2, that push will usually do enough damage that I will either have won or lost from it.

Best way to counter colossus is to not let them get one. Just keep the pressure on early and try to time your main attack right before the colossus would warp in. The cost of a Col is the same as your Thor which is WAY better imo (as long as you have a few scvs for repair).

Yeah, I've typically been trying to beat them before they get colossus; however, a lot of the better players are able to fend off my push and the colossus seem to melt my M+M. Thors just haven't made much of a difference TBH. My timing is probably just off though, curious about the raven thing though.

Yeah, so far I've only used the raven for detection/sentry gun vs Z. Haven't explored it in TvT or TvP yet.

I don't even know what to transition after I get my Thor/Hellion army. Terran doesn't seem to have a good ground to air fighter that can stand up to Void Rays, Carriers and Mothership.

I've tried getting Vikings (Too Fragile), Thor (Not enough damage output), and Battlecruisers (Expensive and leaves ground army weak).
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

The Point Defense drone on the Raven is by far it's best ability. The seeker missile is neat and everything but most people just kite it's lifetime. The Point defense drone will win you fights. they can stop 20 enemy missiles each. It's won me a fair few games already by turning battles I should have lost.

I am also having a hard time with Terran AA though, The viking is junk, and relying on the Thor is a pain. I've been trying to win before I reach that point but it's not possible against everyone.
Give a man a fire keep him warm for a while. Light a man on fire, keep him warm for life.

if you have a lot of marauders and stimpack them / target fire collosus it goes down VERY quickly without it having even the collosus having 1 laerthing off completely

Battlecruisers are imba vs ground though and vikings have extreme range allowing them to kite the slow void rays, carriers and motherships.
