Do you realize how much gas a Colossus/Tempest/HT army costs? Ravens work against this, we have seen it before. PDDs completely negate the Tempest, they fire too slowly. HT can't get close enough to Feedback if you have a large Ghost count and keep up the scans.
Know what is also excellent there? Tanks. The HT die to the Tank fire before they get in range of anything. PDD keeps everything safe from the Tempest.
You just suggested using tanks in TvP.
Drop the Tanks are useless circle jerk and actually think about the situation. A few Tanks are invaluable against that army comp.
I've meched since release. Drop the useless theorycrafting if you don't actually have experience playing these situations out.
as have i, tanks are pretty good with ghosts, i used to go mass tanks and i had a 80 percent win ratio in tvp, again this was in WOL not HOTS. Then again i don't think having tanks would be good with tempests on the field
Contrary to uninformed knowledge, mech is actually much more difficult in TvP in HotS than it was in WoL
I would feel that it might get better with the upcoming patch, but i cant say to much since i stopped playing mech.

Can't believe people used to call her a patchzerg
To be fair she relied on BL/infestor more than most, which is the composition generally associated with "patch zergs"
If something is good/overpowered and you are a pro and base your life on it, you should use it. As we can all see she is very capable of winning with different styles

Not to mention their only use is PDD (it's too easy to just run away against Missiles), so Protoss can simply not make stalks/tempests and you end up with flying ducks.
ravens give detection for observers so they can never have vision over your army, and in big fights hunter seeker missles are gosu and its only a few ravens man, its not like we are saying get 30 lol people just aren't even considering how to do it, just disregarding it without even trying it.
Make 1-2 Oracle(s), cast Revelation, enjoy full vision.
Man every tvp that i've followed these lasts months you're in the LR thread discretily balance whining. You really hate that match up don't you?
I'm not "balance whining" at all, but whatever.
But you do spend most of your time posting in the Designated Balance Whine Thread...
=P
Where I try to explain things, not ask for buffs/nerfs left and right.
watching Alive in the early game is just amazing, look at that mini map, units being controled all over. I just dont think he has many games played in the late late game

I never understood why some people failed to grasp the concept of play to win however it takes :/
