Something I find confusing is that pre-tank nerfs and ultralisk changes (back in beta) everyone was saying that the way to beat mech was to use mutalisks to force more thors and low tank counts so that your ground army could roll over the thors and hellions.

Now that tanks have been nerfed and ultralisks have been nerfed and thors unchanged, thors have apparently become unstoppable, when the key to beating mech earlier was to force more thors.

There have been no changes to any zerg ground units, mutalisks, thors or hellions in this period.

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Can anyone enlighten me?


Terran started using thor hellion preigniter in unison, which stops almost anything zerg can make.

What about roaches? (Just asking, didn't test, no theorycraft, no skill etc...)

Assuming zerg controlls well and doesn't clump mutas, wouldn't mass muta beat thor/hellion or muta/ling/bling if terran mixes in some marines for support. Fungal growth would probably also have good results by preventing the marines and hellions from kiting.

This is all speculation though.

If you burrow & move, then they still get a free shot in, cause in the time it takes for the roaches to unburrow, theres a good free shot, so they're already down 60 health.

Once theres 3 or 4 Thor's out though, the Roaches just... melt.

Ok, so you want other numbers.

Roaches cost 2 supply, at 75/25, a Thor's 300/200 and 6 supply.

3 roaches per thor, but their 16 vs a Thor's 60 and twice as much range, with 400-esque HP I believe? (don't remember its HP, never really make em)

Anything else?
Stop bitching bout people who suck and teach em how to play.

People tested where if you have a good ball of thors, even the normal number of 4 mutas to kill 1 thor is off. You need a larger amount of mutas than that to take on the ball of thors. So just having a mass of mutas doesn't really work.

Of course, you could just skip the thors and try to base race, but that's pretty tough.

Please do note that FruitDealer had way more base and way more ultras then what Top could have done. Splash damage only affected buildings anyways. And I did not know that just because a patch came out to fix the building ultra splash, that also affected the micro for Top and Fruitdealer O_O

3 roachs=225/75 6food
1 thor =300/200 6food

mineral/gas wise roaches are good vs thors. Not supply though.

I'm pretty sure mech was always using thors with blue flame hellions. Mech is hellions + thors + tanks. Tank marine is tank marine, which isn't mech at all.

Roaches work if the terran sends his thors in 1 at a time as soon as they are built.

Otherwise good luck.

Mech is thor hellion tank sometimes viking banshee.

Thor/hellion cuts all the excess and makes a ball of death that is more difficult to deal with, can't be caught out of position without infestors and excellent scouting, and complements each other by destroying each others good counter mix.

Still waiting for a counter for heavy mech t now without having to build literally every zerg unit and get a perfect setup with infestors and surround with lings... 300 apm vs 40 apm and most of the time
i end up losing anyway

Ultralisk are one of the dumbest units pathfinding wise and anyone who complains they are easy to get a perfect flank with or anything like that needs to go back to bw and use dragoons... cause thats all i think when my 3 ultras run into the corner of a ramp and end up behind your mineral line somehow but boy was did it feel nice when i actually got to attack and kill stuff

Perhaps they should add ram back in but give it a splash like the cleave attack is in 1.1.1 for buildings and revert the cleave attack to how it was in 1.1.

Why hasn't there been a blue response on this? It takes the community a couple hours to recognize the fuck up, and the goddamn blue posters don't even understand what we are talking about! Do they even read our posts?

Negative. Thors beat broodlords because they outrange them and splash.

Thors definitely do not beat broodlords. They will however tear a few new orafices into your mutas that are trying to take out the vikings.

Watching FruitDealer's latest series, I have to say that the Ultra "nerf" doesn't really change the overall balance of ZvT. Does it really matter that ultras do less splash considering they can just fodder shots so that banelings and lings can clean house?
