Lately I have been trying a mech style to avoind needing Ghost alltogether, but I CANT for the life of me beat Zergs going Broodlord infestor. It requires me to get a lot of Vikings, than Ultraling rolls me over bigtime. Question: How do I kill Broodlord Infestor + Transitions when I'm going for a Mech build? I just don't know it anymore, and I dont want to switch races... Does anybody know when David is dealing with this strategy that he said is slightly imbalanced? Kind regards! | ||

(i am terran) Seems like everybody is, the only answer I have seen up to today is Snipe, but that's getting nerfed. I honestly don't see why fixing Broodlord Infestor takes so long, the only answer Terran has (both in practice and in theory) gets nerfed within a month while Broodlord Infestor is dominating the lategame in all matchups. But well. Please, I need some help. I hate losing once Zerg decides to get a hive, in my opinion that is flawed game design...  | ||

I play a mech style atm, I don't see how dropping everywhere works, especially not vs Broodlord Infestor. Infestors are faster than Tanks it seems, so I don't have that big of a mobility advantage. Dropping with mech just doesn't work I feel like. | ||

I'm thinking of going into air terran with hellion support. Basically an iechoic style but with ghosts to emp and snipe infestors. Vikings and bc's with ravens for pdd and seeker and battlecruisers for yamato. That way it will force them to continue with Corruptor broodlord or lose. If they switch to ultras just make Banshees. THe only limitation to this is the insane amount of income it would require. I personally have trouble with econ management past 3 bases so I'm sure this will help that aspect. | ||

What you have to realize is that late game, the zerg army is incredibly immobile. We want one big engagement, after which pure ling ... or anything ... can kill your base. What you need to do late game when you spot the transition, is to use drop play heavily, and take out zerg expansion. A transition that includes some banshees with cloak, blue flame hellions, multiple marine / marauder drops (tech buildings), while constantly moving your mech army around threatening to attack, but not doing so, is incredibly hard to deal with. The worst thing you can do is spot the huge infestor broodlord corruptor army and think to yourself ... oh, I better retreat, and give the zerg the option to kill off your whole base right in front of your entrance. Look at it this way ... First the zerg wants to drag the game out till the late game and get his superior force. Then the terran wants to drag the game out and kill the zerg economy. Ghosts with snipe for infestors, and nukes is also nice. But your overall goal is to avoid fighting the whole zerg army right in front of your base. If zerg ignores your army, go for the base race which you should win most times. Just make sure that your army takes out his mining expansions, and your drops take out his tech buildings. | ||

Offcourse I can add mass-ghost, but I want to learn how to beat the composition without Ghost. For after the patch.

Also that it is possible to release a patch without a huge nerf to Terran or buff to protoss. I'm thinking of going into air terran with hellion support.

I think Lings beat mass- air, by running by and just killing your base while they get build faster than you can kill them. | ||

But I'd be very far behind on upgrades, as well as not having the infrastructure. Is the only way for mech to survive lategame to not be mech anymore? That's stupid.... | ||
