We all know and love the "perfect" Protoss army composition of Gateway/Collosus/Void Ray, which is largely known as the original "deathball"*.
Recently, I've seen tree.hugger (who writes quite a few articles here on TL) using the expression "deathcloud" to refer to the "perfect" Zerg army composition of Brood Lords/Infestors/Corruptors/Lings and/or Roaches.
(Both armies are highly immobile, of course, and this is why they are balanced to be so strong)
This leaves us with the question: what should we call the "perfect" Terran army composition of Ghost/Mech (or whatever you feel is the strongest straight up and thus most immobile of terran army compositions)???
Obs: I didn't mean for this thread to be a discussion of what the composition is, but I'm pretty sure the most viable-to-reach terran lategame army that is also the strongest in a straight up fight at the expense of mobility is a 200/200 mech army with a few ghosts vs Toss and quite a few ghosts vs Zerg. There may be more than siege tanks and thors to the composition, but you gotta agree that they are the "meat" of the army, not the ravens/vikings/whatever you may have in there.
Write you suggestion down!

Deathmetal is funny but Deathmetalball is strange. Maybe something close to it?
*Edit, just to be fair to oldschool BW players:

I doubt the name will be given back though.

I call it the "clusterfuck"

Someone look up that horrible movie "Death Race" and use one of the names of the teams in there...

The concept of "perfect" is a fabricated idea of the mind. There's no such thing as perfect. Furthermore one composition thats unstoppable against one type of army, could get rolled by a different composition when put up against it.
Idk maybe I just dont like throwing the word perfect around. However, Goodyball IS a lot of fun to say. Go ahead, say it out loud.

Goodyball is hilarious. xD
But man I hate those terms, they describe the part I dislike most about SC2 play right now. Hopefully they become redundant in time.

unbeatable seems about right

There is no such thing. It all depends on the army you are facing. Why do people keep making theese useless, pointless, stupid threads...
|
perfect army composition means perfect composition in certain timing and there is almoust indefinite amount of timings so....

The original "deathball" in SC was coined during the BW days, referring to Terran Mech vs Protoss at 140-200 supply and 2/2 mech upgrades.
Hence, we shall retain "deathball" for Terran and find a new name for the Protoss "perfect" composition.

Geez, all I'm doing is trying to discuss terminology! I read "deathcloud" recently and thought it was cool. Then I realised Terran doesn't have a specific name for their strongest and most immobile army composition (whatever it may be).
Why u so mad?

to the people saying there is no perfect army comp, lets just say if you were given unlimited minerals and 200/200 supply, what kind of army will you make (given you don't know what you're facing).
