Usually what I'm seeing is big midgame pressure before toss can get too many archons or more than one colossus, heavy bio comps with ghosts or drop/doomdrop seems to be too much if they end the game before the 3rd is fully saturated. Engaging a 3/3 zealot archon ball at the 20minute mark with bio seems really ouchy if you don't spread the map out or just pressure enough to essentially end the game at 12-15min. | ||

What is everyones thoughts on seeing zealot/archon and keep your bio ball smaller and add in some BF hellions. That would really cut down the zealot #s fast, only problem is your hellions have no upgrades, (other that BF) It's usually mentioned as a theoretical response. I think there is potential here but the difficulty is gauging the timings, the additional production and the upgrades that your hellions require can leave you vunerable in that transitional phase. It's also something that the Protoss can see coming if their observer use is good, and they can change composition accordingly. If you open hellions and get a good number of them it's worth experimenting with them, but on the flipside competent Protoss players will probably just not use Chargelot/Archon builds. In addition it makes the main problem for Terrans in PvT even more pronounced, rebuilding an army after a big confrontation. The inability to do this even with a lot of barracks when going bio is a problem that will be further exacerbated if you're going down a 3rd tech path and using your factories to produce for your composition, leaving you open to those terrifying Protoss mass warpins and counters in the lategame | ||
