Hello,

Wiki Thors Terran Vs. Terran
Thors can play an important role in TvT, as they both complement your own tank force while drawing fire from the opponent's Tanks. Because Thors are so large, they effectively reduce the splash damage from the opponent's Tanks, while easily focus firing them down. Thors can provide anti-air support for Tanks in case of a Banshee transition. Thors struggle with Bio units, especially the Marauder. In this case, Marines and Hellions can complement the Thor. In low numbers Thors as late game units, even with High Impact Payload, suffer against Battlecruisers, which can 2-shot them with Yamato Cannon and then jump away.


What do you think about thors in TvT ?
Are they revelant at pro level ?
How fix/tweak Thors ?

I m asking why the game is stucked on Air-dominance, only because vikings are necessary to control the ground and the sight of view of tanks ? Of course,
I remember many discussions on this forum where people complains about ZvZ volatility or PvP constraints buids-order, but actually i would be curious to know how do you look at the problem.

Is TvT more disliked than before ?

In terms of thoughts, we can admit without generalization, that if a Terran wins air and if he handles tanks position, he can t be countered by another strategy than an air renewal from his oppenent.
That s why i would like to see how Thor could shine again ? (with an unpredictable patch...) How can a synergy between tanks-vikings-thors can be created ?

Thors are sometimes made to counter liberators.
Which doesn't work because liberators counter thors.

This is the extent of my thoughts on thors in TvT

I only ever see thors when the mech player is losing the viking war and needs any kind of AA badly because the enemy is starting to make liberators already. then you have to make them or face losing in the near term. I dont think they are really made in an ideal scenario tho

well their problem is that they die to tanks so if the other player positions his tanks correctly they shouldn't do anything.
Maybe a single thor in splash mode to help in some Viking wars could be good
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

If thors would be usefull, and enought solid to deal against tanks and threatening vikings from getting vision so marines could become a little bit more competitive at the end of the game, because they are stronger in numbers against thor

It could be an interesting synergy
