I watch replays of high level Protoss who don't use sentries all the time so you can't just assume they are there.

lets rephrase it

you'll never see a protoss player who doesn't get sentries when he scouts mass ling/baneling

I did some tests of my own and found at that this is pretty bad. By the time your banelings hit they can easily go up a cliff and destroy them, then go back down and fight them below critical mass..

At high level all toss will have sentry's especially if they scout that you are going sling/bling and its usually not hard to get 3 sentrys and be able to forcefield all around.

I think this is just an issue of positioning.

In a favorable position (i.e. able to run, attacking from multiple angles, etc.) zergling/baneling works, even with forcefield. Just because forcefields do not last forever and sentries do not have infinite energy. So the zerg wins.

In an unfavorable position (i.e. many, many sentries, 1 sided attack, etc.) the protoss is able to win, because baiting forcefields in this position really does not do much when you have to lose so many lings/blings to do it.

A good Protoss who has 3-4 four sentries with his army will just forcefield and render your banelings useless

I love posts like this.

Bonus points if you say it about a Terran player.

I prefer Roaches into Hydras or straight teching to Hydras vs 2-gate opening and picking my next tech based on theirs. Speedlings are useless vs Zealots unless you're opponent is stupid enough to let you surround them individually. Spine crawlers + lings work pretty well imo though.

Roach, Hydra, Corruptors when you see the Robo, upgrade, and counter for the win. Going 0 air and 0 ranged vs Gateway + Collossi sounds painful. Banelings are just asking for mistakes

Wow, that's not what he said at all, but nice straw man. Everyone makes mistakes but a gameplan that relies on your opponent fucking up is not viable.
