When you blink back Stalkers you have only taken shield dmg anyway with good micro and Archons obviously don't really benefit from armor at all. In fact, people get shields most of the times. | ||

I feel very smart for it. | ||

Going Colossi lets Zerg get away with too much greed. Late Colossi transitions aren't too great because you need them in large numbers to be effective, especially when Zerg can crank out so many Corruptors/Vipers so quickly. | ||

And lategame PvZ is almost a free win now once you get the endgame composition. | ||
