You do not need a unit that can just walk into tank lines, especially one that's one the same damn tech tier as the units it's hard countering. | ||

It is a lot harder to incorporate air units as Protoss in your composition than it is for Terran. Also, "abuse" is not a good word for using warp prisms. It takes Terran 100 minerals to build a missile turret, and when going mech-style more than likely the Terran has all their flanks covered due to being starved on gas and not minerals, if not they do not deserve to survive against warp prism harass. Unnecessary unit? Not at all. Without the immortal, what does Protoss have to counter tanks in a mech composition? Nothing. You say air units but can't the terran just make vikings to counter? Your argument is really invalid at the highest level to be honest. May I ask what league you are in? | ||

Exactly - I noticed when I mentioned while casting that "going tunnel vision immortals can be a bad thing" a lot of the chat disagreed - but you're spot on with this. In almost any matchup when you tunnel vision a particular type of unit, you're asking for trouble. I was happy to see that Bails mixed it up a bit with some extra stuff - but the main thing he did quite well was the flanking - utilising the many tactical positions on that map. | ||

Your argument is really invalid at the highest level to be honest. May I ask what league you are in? You're talking like someone who's only played with SC2's rock paper scissors system. What counter to Siege Tanks does Terran have in TvT on the ground? None. If it's a fixed fortified position with tanks, then it's not going to be cost efficient to charge into it. Why does Protoss need to be able to walk THROUGH tank lines? Answer that for me. Why is that something that Protoss HAS to have? | ||

Plus IMO gives the Protoss more breathing room to do other things This is exactly why "Well you can just use Ghosts to counter the Immortals" falls off. Requiring Ghosts for Tanks to be effective pigeonholes what a Terran player can do, it severely limits how aggressive on the map they can be because of how vulnerable Mech units are in smaller groups and without Ghost support. That all has everything to do with the fact that Immortal hard counters Thors and Siege Tanks while only requiring a Robotics Facility to produce. A contrasting example is the Ultralisk. In Brood War and in SC2 Ultralisks are one of the few units that can just shrug off Siege Tank fire, but it's not problematic because Ultralisks are very expensive and require Hive Tech. So there's a ton of room for the Terran to be aggressive with Tanks on the map before Ultralisk tech can be reached. Immortals are on the same tier of tech as Tanks are and are only more expensive in minerals. | ||
