I don't mind having a muta counter, but phoenixes not only rape mutas when microed properly, mutas cant even run away from a fight.So you can't even bring your mutas out and pull them back. Once you commit to leaving your main and the phoenix catch you you're going to take major losses, despite retreating.
you mean like Mutas vs Void Rays? or Mutas vs Vikings? as i said above, instead of pure mutas, go 80% mutas / 20% Corruptors and you are safe from any protoss airforce.
This is so true. Mutas are so powerful that it isn't even funny. I am a zerg player myself, and come on, how can you say that mutas rape everything. Pheonix is extremely hard to micro well, expecially when you are retreating because you can just fly back and get a couple of hit off, and then fly home again. Rince and Repeat.
Mutas rape so much, so much harass. It is a great unit. Don't go whine about it 1 counter please.
Thors for Terran (require micro from Z) Pheanix for Protoss (require micro from P)
Ehhh... 1 Phoenix > 1 Corruptor. Mass Phoenix will still do just fine.

cmon boxer kill him
I actually think repair on the PF is ok, on an early thor it's pretty harsh though. Prioritising repair scvs could do it, but that could have other huge effects, and possibly Terrans could even abuse it.
Oh c'mon, there was nothing even remotely impressive about Polt's play in game 1. He didn't even control his units well. He literally just a-moved a thor with a bunch of auto-repair SCV's to Boxer's base and got a free win because Boxer hadn't anticipated it.

bc it's not necessary. Tastosis just explained it. I'm rly surprised by it, but Boxer fu microing his scvs there.
That works for scvs and zerglings yeah, but what about marines, tanks, marauders, roaches, immortals, stalkers, sentries, and so on?
Oh and I dont see how it is fair that one player can click the "Repair no micro" button, while the other player has to perform a rather advanced micro technique to counter it. Could just remove auto repair then instead.
