Yup this is what I hate about mass Thor armies. Such a clunky deathball you're basically just banking on your opponent not engaging right and if they do, you're fucked. Lambo took his time and carved apart that army piece by piece. Very well done.

This game has gotten pretty exciting though.

The worst.

It's the only way I beat better Zergs than me is by massing them. They're disgusting units.

I hate them. I've always hated them. I don't even like how they work with the lore flavour of Terran.

Lambo allowing Time free-mining those 2 left bases for too long, 10 Crackling would really hurt Time economy on that base with the OC.

At ladder level I hate them waaaay more as Zerg - at least the Terran opponent massing ghosts has to do stuff to win the fight ;P

I do wonder what sort of changes could be made to some combo of creep, ghosts, thors and broods to try change the pace of this MU a bit. Something to keep players off lategame armies and turtling a bit more. Terran feels forced into a lot and as a Zerg facing and watching it is bad for blood pressure.

EDIT: Exciting to see how well Time is playing tho.

Sometimes, lambo seems really the best at dealing with ghost/thors.

They don't.

Thors were originally designed to be hero units for Terran, along with the Queen for Zerg and Mothership for Protoss. It was one of David Kim's teams original ideas that was scrapped in alpha for Wings of Liberty.

They thought the Thor model was too cool to get rid of so they just turned it into a big bulky Goliath that wasn't designed properly to do what the Goliath was really good at which was GtA anti-air. Overtime the design of the Thor was adjusted to resemble that role more and more, till the point that we have the Thor that we have today.

It's a relic of the "principle of cool" that drove a lot of WoL's bad game design that they were in love with too much to get rid of, a lot like Warp Gate.



Skip to 7:34 that's what the original design looked like. If you've ever played the WoL campaign you'll recognize that model design as the Odin from the campaign.

Zerg are generally forced to this kind of trade in this ghost meta.


The META dictates I must face tank a Planetary with Lurkers. I MUST do it! /s


The meta dictates the terran growth must be delayed even at the cost at cost inefficient trade, sometimes it can go really bad, sorry if you don't get it.

Even Goliaths I'm not super fond of, original Terran's kinda scrappy aesthetic doesn't feel like it works great with bipedal mechs, but the Thor and Odin take it to ridiculous extremes.
