It's not only that they have no reason to, it's actually counter productive.
Bio units don't share upgrades with BCs and Thors, Zerg and Protoss ground forces DO share upgrades with Tier 3 units.
Thors and BCs are incredibly immobile, Bio's greatest strength is its mobility.
The reasons go on and on.
Terran is designed that way. If you're playing Bio, you're playing Bio supported by Starport support units like Medivacs, Vikings and occasionally Ravens.
If you're playing Mech you're playing Mech.
They are not meant to be mixed together.
Well it would be nice to actually see some more mech then is what I mean or having some reason to go BCs more often than the never happening now. Seeing BCs as a transition out of Bio would be nice. It isnt like it wouldnt be possible if it were a useful unit in this matchup.
I'd love to see more Mech too. Unfortunately Blizzard has seen fit to keep putting units like Immortal and the Viper into the game that hard counter the crap out of Siege tanks for no reason.
Yeah immortals are in there for no reason except you know... for the fact that Toss couldnt win a game against zerg without at least the threat of an immortal, sentry push.
You could EASILY nerf Hardened Shields so that they didn't hard counter Siege Tanks and still keep the Immortal as good as it is vs Zerg.
The 10 damage cap means 2 damage mitigation vs Roaches without upgrades, it means 40 damage vs siege tanks.
You could up the armor on Immortals by 2, and set the cap on Hardened Shields to 25 damage and you'd make HUGE headway in making the unit less of a hard counter vs Mech.
Doesn't seem like a bad thought Vindi.
Would make immos better against lings and marines. I'd rather add 2 armor on shields instead of base armor.

I say entertaining would be XY after yesterday, he plays different game of terran sc2, a bit like jim also chinese, alot of timings and very nice (but gimmicky sometimes too).. Best and most solid, innovation indeed
Polt crushed XY in TvT, XY looked horrible in those games.
Yeah i know, but his strats against moonglade were funny to watch because we dont see those often. I said entertaining, not the best player
