This thread was renamed from "Becomming a mech terran" |
Hello, I have recently switched to terran and will be posting replays in this thread just about playing mech on ladder. It is solely meant for fun and learning. I will also have a stream if you want to watch me live.

I posted this separate from the stream post because This will also feature replays and discussion about meching as terran. Also making a replay section in this thread with all the spoilers to organize it is a bitch.

This post made me lol.
In all seriousness though, it's good to see at least some people willing to try mech.
It's not for me because of my BW background with zerg, but I want to see it evolve in the metagame at least. Then we can get some bio/mech fake openings like oov was pulling off left and right back in the good old days.....

I for one have been playing a lot of mech lately, only going for bio when I feel that the oponent made too many mistakes at the beginning, so I can finish him off fast.
But I don`t think that evolve is the right word for it. This style of play simply does not suit most players, either for the units being too slow or for being much harder to execute properly, as it requires macroing skills AND smooth transitions so that you don`t die to timming atacks.
And yeah, I`m looking forward to see some of your replays.

Looking forward to the replays. I've been playing a lot of mech lately and have been looking forward to seeing how others do it.

Watched your stream, nice job killing the zerg with hellions, but you seem to get steamrolled by toss...
A few tips if you dont mind
You are using way too much of your OC energy on Orbitalsupply.
Against toss, you would want more thor heavy composition since they shred practically any unit toss has in their arsenal(immortals too, so they cant kill your tanks).
Take a longer route if you dont want to get caught in a bad position (the TvP match on Meta)
Once you are starting to get maxed, make loads of production facilities(since your playing mech, make like 10 more factories or so)
Spend your excess minerals on extra CC or OC, if possible just make PFs in every possible location 
Also a nice tip for your BO: If you make an extractor(gas on 12/13) before making a barracks, you will have enough gas to immideatly start building a factory as soon as the barracks finishes building.
GL with your future matches, mech play seems very solid imo!

No, it's definitely the right word. Right now the TvP and TvZ metagame has pretty much reduced to MMM and marine medivac tank, respectively. Sure, people try to mech on the ladder, but the world's top players simply don't do it.
The metagame for T right now has really stagnated, and I've been saying this for quite a while. I see threads all over the place like MrBitter's Zerg tutorials, the gosucoaching podcasts where they talk almost exclusively about zerg play, and other things that point to the zerg metagame evolving and updating itself to deal with the latest things that P and T are throwing around.
For crying out loud, after MKP made it to the gsl finals on pure cheese and 2rax, the top foreign and Korean zergs spent entire days finding the optimum response to it..... Together. I don't see any T conferences on how to play against phoenix/colossus or good timings to hit against a fast zerg third with early baneling speed.
Every T thread on TL that I see (with the exception of this one) is full of whiners that moan about P lategame and mutas being overpowered. Ridiculous stuff.
The metagame needs to go somewhere, or we'll be seeing 2rax scv allins forever. I dont think we want that, do we?

I enjoyed watching your stream! That last game against the toss where you moved out and he caught you was ugly  .Totally digging the Mech play though keep it up!
|
I could never go full mech, gotta be mobile with my failed MKP impersonation of Bioball and medivacs and get rolled by banes.
