First, I have watched tons of records PvT and I have *never* seen HT be more effective then colossus

GOD i hate posts like this. are you kidding me? I dont know why you people do these terrible comparisons and calculations.

You will NEVER find a toss going pure immortal. Immortals are so good because they work together with your army so well. NonY talked about this before. What makes a unit powerful is how it works with the rest of your army.

marauders can't effectively focus fire immortals because immortals go in the back. if you get too close, zealots will be all up in your grill, so he'll have no immortals, but you'll have no army.

Er, the marauders outrange the immortals and can kite the zealots with both a snare and stims. He has the advantage easily if he knows how to do basic micro (move away and hit s).

Without stim, the fight goes like this:

11 marauders vs 4 immortals
10 vs 3
9 vs 3
8 vs 2
7 vs 1
7 vs 0

With stim, the fight goes like this:
11 vs 4
10 vs 2
9 vs 1
9 vs 0

That's assuming no micro (which marauders have the advantage in, with +1 range, more speed, and concussive shot).

(edit: I'm not gonna redo the calculations but it should be obvious that even with guardian shield up the marauders are still way ahead)

Storm is great against marauders, and the bio ball in general. I have no idea why anyone would say otherwise. The argument "Because they have too much hp" makes no sense. As for the lots dying, well that is up to the player to curb as best as he can.

Finally someone that agrees with me. 2-3 storms can cower whole m&m ball and 80dmg from storm + they always stim isnt small loss of life + you always have some units to finish them off..

Storm has always been protoss trademark, maybe thats the reason Im trying to use it in all mu.

Q: Do you plan on rework/rebalance of the Forcefield or are you already statisfied with it.
A: We are never "happy" about anything in the game.=) We are always looking at everything and trying to see if it works or it is broken. We think Force Field is a fun ability that has a lot of great uses that introduces a ton of new strategy into the game. We worry that it might be a little powerful. We are looking at some nerfs to the Sentry to create a higher cost for Protoss players who choose to bring too many Sentrys to a fight.

Type gg and leave...

Srsly if U let that happen youre in big troubles.. I would try to counter that with speed zeals/sentries/HT and few immortals... But dunno, never played vs that combination, sounds scary..

Well, if you check my replay, you could see that after killing my drone I had no good way of getting intel until my observer was out. And when I saw the marauders I had to constantly replenish my army. There was just not enough money to get up a stargate :/

Indeed. This is not a case of a hard counter destroying 10 of the unit it counters on it's own, that doesn't happen. Focussing fire will kill those Immortals and each one you lose has a far larger impact on your DPS than each Marauder he loses.

On the matter of scouting, bear in mind vs Terran, that while you cannot get into the base early, you can against some players, get an impression of what they have by running a probe right up to the top of the ramp at the very edge of their block. Many Terran players will mass whatever unit they're... well massing, just behind the block to repel attacks, so if you see a ton of Marauder missiles coming at your probe, then you know what he's planning.
