with force field you have to move extra close to shoot ground army & banshees and hinders zealots to do any dmg it's trivial tho | ||

This build is countered in the same way a normal 1-1-1 is countered (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=250379), except the trick is to not over make stalkers and rely on zealot/immo/sentry in the face of hellions. Hellions don't really counter zealots. Here's a game I just played against this build: http://drop.sc/67279 | ||

At least for me, the way I defend 1-1-1 is to use as few stalkers as possible, and just go mass zealot with some immo/sentry support. However, the early hellion drop forces more stalkers from the protoss player which makes the all-in that much stronger.

Here's a game I just played against this build: http://drop.sc/67279 From my recent discussion with SEA GM players i've learned that apparently mass blink stalker is actually the best way to deal with the 1-1-1, and even more so with a hellion variant. You can sit there and pick off marines and such and just blink away without taking damage, potentially forcing the pdd in the middle of the map. And even when they plant the pdd down, with 20 or more stalkers you can actually focus it down in 2 shots. Since this push doesn't have any tanks, the amount of damage you take from the marines and hellions will be so small (with good micro) that you can potentially ruin the whole push right in the middle of the map. | ||

Could you produce a replay with this counter? I am skeptically a little bit. | ||

Praise the lord almighty, i'm glad a good level protoss finally fessed up about it on the forums, as many forum warriors will randomly come up in mech/hellion threads saying that hellions are good against zealots lmao. Sorry, just had to comment on that, as it's a misconception that hellions are good against zealots when they actually suck. | ||

Sorry, just had to comment on that, as it's a misconception that hellions are good against zealots when they actually suck. Hellions without pre-ignitor in small numbers don't really counter moderate numbers of zealots when both compositions are mixed. In larger numbers and with pre-ignitor, the zealots melt. For a 10 minute timing attack with mostly marines and banshees, a few hellions don't deter a zealot composition. | ||

Ever since the Bfh nerf, zealots can do pretty well vs hellions in a mech composition. Even goody has said that mech isn't viable anymore. | ||
