Hellions are great for killing zealots but the problem you run into is that colossi vaporize them almost as effectively as they do marines - which are also good against zealots. I'm no pro but I've tried a few marine/marauder/hellion builds vs Protoss on ladder and it was pretty much bad news for me whenever any number of colossi hit the field. Hellions end up being a big supply sink that can't do anything against the beefier Protoss units and end up just dying before doing a whole lot anyway.

I picked Jakji and Killer to make it out, but not looking good.

I sorta see what you mean. It does sometimes sound like they're commenting the future.
Maybe its just a bit out of sync

ravens are definitely an option terrans should be looking for. not only can you use pdd and maybe even seeker missile against chargelots, it could be a potential gas dump once you're on 3+ bases.
the most important thing i think is it allows you to snipe obs in an engagement, allowing your cloaked ghosts to actually snipe/emp the HTs behind the chargelot/colosuss composition. people say that you shouldn't get hts because herp derp ghosts automatically counter hts.
any decent toss will have plenty of storms available if they just keep their hts spread and next to/behind their colossus. how is terran supposed to get those ht in a big engagement? if toss a-moves towards your army, ghosts will just die to chargelots/colossus before they can even reach a single ht. not only that, since terran needs to be marine heavy against chargelots (if it's 2-2 vs 3-3 chargelots, guardian shield will make marines do 2 damage), you only need a couple storms and a few swipes of colossus to obliterate the marines. i think another problem is the fast 3-3 upgrades benefits colossus so much, terran has to find a way to get fast 3-0 vikings to even be able to take out the colossus effectively before marines die.
i think making sure that toss has no obs in an engagement will be key against HT play in the future, so cloaked ghosts will actually be useful.

How about ghosts, they are pretty good AoE?

Bio just can't cut it in late game against protoss of equal skill.. You have never seen tanks in TvP? Really guy? Um, so what macro games have a terran who went for tanks won? Are you going to say goody? MVP v MC 2bases tanks rines turrents bunker contain win? its one of the most convincing TvP win I mentioned just now that MVP transitioned to bio after he contained. Fact is, late game tanks don't work against mass chargelots + blink stalkers + immortals. MVP hit a nice timing before MC could get all that but after he got the contain up, he immediately transitioned to mass bio. More like MC tried to break the hard contain of tanks and bunkers and lost?
Thats because MC didn't have charge nor immortals nor blink stalkers at that point of time. MVP played that smartly.
But in late game t v p, those don't work because protoss have all those upgrades.

Yeah, and your example proved his point. That was about a year ago on bad maps from a player who has said for months since that the style does not work at all.
Tanks are terrible in late game TvP.

well his official pick was Jjakji, so Virus should win

Also. Hellions are complete shit vs Zealots, because Hellions have super slow rate of fire so they are only good against things that they 2 hit really. Look how much worse they got against marines just moving up to a 3 hit. Zealots.... the whole fight is over before hellions get enough hits in to kill zealots lol.

There was no disproving a point...all he asked was what macro games have there been where a Terran won. I mentioned 2. Nothing about whether its still legit, nothing about current meta trends and how its proven that they're garbage now
Simple question, simple answer.
