herO said you don't need collossi, so why make them? they are good but not worth-being-abducted good

They used to get them because every zerg would get swarm host sooner or later.

With a mostly Blink-Stalker + Archon army, why not research shields over armor? 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.

herO also lost both times vs Soulkey when it went to lategame Zergs just overrun zealot/stalker/immortal/templars with pure numbers...

Because Templar/Immortal is just stronger and more versatile and without Swarm Hosts you don't need the consistent damage output.

I get shields after attack in PvZ! I feel very smart for it.

PvZ has suddenly become one of my favorite matchups to watch, very surprising how entertaining that game was.

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.

3 base blink is not the only way to play PvZ, it's just the best way. And lategame PvZ is almost a free win now once you get the endgame composition.
