I love questions like "what do I do against colossi, archons, carriers, mothership, HTs, DTs, and 30 warpgates with 3/3 stalkers?"
The answer is simple, as Artosis would say "You don't let them get that much."
Have you even tried to count how much gas it takes him to get Archons with immortals? You can roll him like bread dice with roaches waaay before he gets the first immortal out. I know, timing is seldom problematic, but ability to scout and time your play for a zerg is a difference between platinum and masters level. Watch NesTea's play. He sees stalker +3 zealots, builds 2 spores, powers drones like 20 a minute, repels DT rush, double expands and attacks with 25 roach 50 ling before blink/charge even finishes, funny to even mention immortals here.

Timing is what wins me ZvP games,i tried to you just cant harass with roaches against that composition.
Usually i harass at the 10~11 minute mark with roaches but i didn't get there because he attacked me first at my third while i didn't have enough roaches to confidently deal with his army.
Most of the units in that army actually have a rather low range so you can probably get away with infestors.
