I stand corrected, you are correct. Its indeed a better Thor.

Better, but for its cost compared to other Tier 3 endgame units.... still terrible

It trades favorably with carriers and brood lords now, which both costs more than a thor.

since when does a thor get close enough to a BL/carrier?

I think it has the same range as carriers and vs broodlords you can stutter-step forward when you have enough hellbats to kill the broodlings fast. the new thor is really amazingly good. the only problem remains tempest but no unit in the game can deal with mass tempest.

I am really confused right now, but I play zerg on the ladder and haven't played any TvP in LOTV. Is this just a problem for mech, or terran bio as well?

I hope this makes muta,ling bane stronger

Wait wait wait. Since when does Thor trade favorably against carrier? They lose hard if its anything more than 1v1.
It does better vs bl but you are straight up delusional if you think it trades well vs Terran and protoss capital ships. Stop testing it 1v1

When there are templar and/or disruptor underneath with archons and a few other units mass tempest is incredibly hard to deal with for bio as well.
Many protoss players on ladder currently just sit in their base and turtle to mass tempests without doing anything else in the game.
The thing is that tempests are only 4 supply and so you can just get an absurd number of tempests.

Tempest are disabled by PDD with Raven, the problem are Tempests + Templars, then you start playing with Ghost and such, but you can't hide when Oracle tags you.
Tempest by themselves in late game are not a the only problem IMO...

Since patch 3.3? I never tested them 1v1. I did all tests 10v10, max upgrades and abilities, only microing each side to focus fire. 1 thor left with a few red bars. I did not test thor vs. BC because I know BC will win.

I can see how tempests are a key part of that comp but I am skeptical that their supply cost of all things is the reason it is OP. Tempests have less dps than a single crackling, at rock bottom prices of 300/200. Massing them seems grossly cost-inefficient.

Wrong. their DPS doesn't matter when you can shoot over and over without the opponent being able to shoot back, slowly you will whittle them down.
You can't engage the tempests because of cannons, storms + disruptors so you just slowly lose.
tempests are probably the unit that benefits the most from massing them.
btw lillekanin just destroyed a liberator-tank army with mass thors in the map test tournament.
