What does that even mean? How is protoss HT / phoenix related to mech right now ? You talked about ravens and I immediately thought about possible protoss counters to mass ravens. Theorycrafting is fine when you have a basic knowledge of what you're talking about. You apparently don't play mech (do you actually play terran , judging from your icon ?), and yet you think your opinion has a more solid basis than actual mech player' ? Because I really don't understand that making statements without of at least month of testing with new changes. You are not giving it a try even. is mostly about TvZ : hydra/viper is almost unbeatable Why? • battlecruisers (and sky-terran) don't work vs that combination? battlecruisers have huge amount of armor (shared from mech Armor upgrade) to hold versus high-atk-speed Hydralisks, they can snipe vipers with yamatos. • vikings still snipe vipers well • again, seeker missiles work fine vs both and PDD can block hydralisk shots and can;'t be abducted cause it's building, as I remember • versus early hydralisk attacks there are siege tanks. In late game vipers are supposed to counter siege tanks, otherwise zergs are doomed vs mech. | ||

Maybe then terrans have to counter colossus with vikings, like protoss have to counter liberator with tempest at some point. because that's totally not what terrans are doing right now. | ||

As said above, its nice to theorycraft but have fun kiting colossi with vikings while burrowing widow mines, emping protoss army and spamming ravens spells lol. Also regarding the thor 250mm who's supposed to "annihilate" colossies, I'm not quite sure dude ^^ | ||

Rofl OK you clearly have no clue about how terran works, BCs get adbucted and you insta lose 400 300, vikings can snipe vipers but try sniping vipers underneath spores(+ they can get grabbed) who the hell would abduct a PDD? Please just play the game instead of just theorycrafting and you'd know most of your statement are not making any sense in game | ||

You even didn't try that. It is of course easier to whine about balance and OP thing rather than try to figure what can work vs X and Y. I hope you aren't serious. And you are? I'd prefer to do a full discussion rather than complains like "that doesn't work, you're bronze trash" instead of something constructive like "that doesn't work because X, Y and Z reasons" | ||

If zerg turtled in one area, it means some places are undefended. 3) Vikings have good range to shoot at vipers and flee away without risking to be abducted. Please just play the game instead of just theorycrafting and you'd know most of your statement are not making any sense in game Say that to yourself. let the game stabilize and evolve new metas instead of complaining that terran mech don't work. it's only 1.5 weeks since rework patch. | ||

To take your last big post .. • battlecruisers (and sky-terran) don't work vs that combination? battlecruisers have huge amount of armor (shared from mech Armor upgrade) to hold versus high-atk-speed Hydralisks, they can snipe vipers with yamatos. => Battlecruisers are fine .. once you get 8+ of them, alongside 10+ ravens. Before that, what exactly prevent the zerg from abducting them above his 30 hydras one by one and killing them . • vikings still snipe vipers well => Due to the vikings' prjectile speed and the way focus fire can be done, you can't snipe the vipers before he can land clouds / abducts. And vikings are countered by making even more vipers, forcing you to either focus fire and waste shots, or pray that the auto targeting doesn't leave them all injured but alive. • again, seeker missiles work fine vs both and PDD can block hydralisk shots and can;'t be abducted cause it's building, as I remember => Ravens are expensive, very easy to abduct, and as several people said, mech is again over reliant on the seeker missile and its new retarded uppgrade, which is the only fine saving mech lategame again. • versus early hydralisk attacks there are siege tanks. In late game vipers are supposed to counter siege tanks, otherwise zergs are doomed vs mech. => That one is very dubious, zerg has been able to beat mech even before vipers were in the game. And even after that, it has stayed doable, with other options, vipers simply being the easiest. Again, theorycrafting is fine, but doesn't replace having thousands of mech games experience, including dozens since the patch. | ||

Vikings vs Vipers is always a losing fight for the terran vs a half competent zerg. As mentioned in my previous post, the way vikings's projectile and auto targeting / focus fire works, the terran can't efficiently trade here without god-like viking fire spreading | ||
