Marines & thors << Blings & Mutas


This.

The initial answer to counter mass mutas is mass marines, with a few thors mixed in. However, banelings rape the marines, and speedlings rape the thors. Mutas in combination just decimate. Since thors are so immobile as well mutas can easily harass whilst you're pushing out.

Not complaining about imbalance here, just saying "marines" aren't the answer.

I think a few point defence drones on/around your thors would be a possible solution.

Why would they patch it?

because it hurts thors role in TVZ.

Think of it as a necessary buff

Same build again for Tarson, 1 Rax, 1Fac, Helion harass.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

Haha, oh wow.

Oh JESUS, that s exactly what i didnt want, people starting to call it imba. You need friggin support for Thors against mass muta, everybody knew this alrady in beta. Against Marine thor you can go, bling-ling-muta, against which T implements tanks.
Seriously, Dimaga used this as well.

And again:
THERE ARE NO MAGIC BOXES. you just take your mutas, move in, hit stop where you think they are fine. That's it, no magic, no boxes

I'm actually surprised Day9 isn't on top of this. Must have been too busy lately to keep up with all the discussion on it, even with the past BW experience... Probably a few dailies on these games soon though soooo lol

Tarson in MAJOR trouble. He loses 5 Marines and 1 Helion. Forced to play passive.

This is so true, reading these comments is hilarious, everyone seems to have jumped on the "Terran is easy-mode" bandwagon. Now I'm not saying there's no imbalance at all (maybe slight), but people here are ridiculous.

I think it was meant for HSM from the raven to supplement thors in these situations but HSM sucks :/
