They will agree on it, as it is actually the future of TvZ (artosis will also have one of those "I told you so" moments) | ||

As a zerg player I often don't find an answer for a thor heavy tank light mech. As long as the terran keeps up on upgrades. 0/0 thors vs 3/3 roaches obviously goes well for the zerg but that isn't exactly mechs fault. Sure the obvious downside is that the zerg will just expand everywhere, but what good is 5 bases away from the mech player if they've taken down your main/nat/3rd? It at least seems better than the current reactor hellion --> bio solution thats still being forced today | ||

Puma kills 35 workers with hellions runbys, and transitions in double armory thor mech. Cytoplasm does one random roach/infestor push (with inferior upgrades) against Pumas 2/2 army, and rolls Puma with neural parasite. You need tank with mech, but tanks have their own large disadvantages. | ||

I think mech has it's place but will never be the go to composition for TvZ. If it was like vastly superior to every zerg comp in a straight up fight with the disadvantage of being slow; sure it could work. But it isn't vastly superior to every zerg comp in a straight up fight. | ||

But it isn't vastly superior to every zerg comp in a straight up fight. I would say in theory there shouldn't be a problem with what terrans are doing currently, but the winrates and general terran whining would suggest differently. EDIT: I suppose I'll go a little more in detail. It seems terran players are afraid to send hellions in at smart times, instead of what usually seems like random times to jam hellions down the throat of zerg players. Queens are not some immortal (no pun intended) being that can murder mass numbers of hellions from anywhere on the map. If queens are off spreading creep they aren't at the natural/main protecting the drone line. I think idra also made the same point last SotG, hellions are still effective, if the player is being smart about it, which is a change to the early terran days | ||

Whining can and should be completely dismissed at all times. | ||

This sounds silly but it's something that we've seen zergs do occasionally but never really design a strategy around. | ||

Here's how it's going to work, if QXC says TvZ is imba whining terrans will hold it as ultimate irrefutable proof that TvZ is imba, if he says anything else they will say he's a bad American terran who's opinion should not matter. | ||
