With void rays having a large bonus damage to armored, do void rays beat stalkers for cost when charged? It seems like a void ray composition should beat any sort of robo composition for cost since stalkers will be the only AA, but robo is certainly the much more standard PvP play. Am I missing something?

In small number's Void rays do well against stalkers, and adding some VR's yo your force adds some nice damage, and can also bait stalkers into your forces, BUT Once you get a decent number of stalkers, especially with blink, they can pick off Void's pretty easy. You just can't get enough VRs to keep up with the stalkers, plus stalkers can focus fire much more quickly than VR's can.

stalkers do well vs uncharged void rays. as soon as void rays get full charge stalkers get melted though.

except when they are fully charged it becomes 25-2-1=22 =-12%
it gets even more lopsided with upgrades, since stalkers get a pathetic +1/+0 while void rays get something huge like +3/+1 (they might have changed it last patch, but its still disproportionate in that 3/3 void rays vs 3/3 stalkers is much more favored toward the voids as compared to 0/0 for both.

Nothing is truly amazing vs multiple VRs that all managed to charge up to full power before you can engage them. At that point, they just melt things extremely quickly. At moderate numbers of voidrays, stalkers can be an extremely effective counter to them with blink. Blink the stalkers all right on top of the void rays and focus fire them down before they can charge up. When blink comes off cooldown, you can blink your stalkers back individually as they start taking damage, which really screws up the voidray's ability to charge or focus down your stalkers.

The voidrays also can't retreat, as blink stalkers can pursue them extremely effectively, barring water or other impassable terrain.
