Thors cost a lot. So do immortals. Maybe my opponent should have been target firing, but pvt i saw him going mech and i started going disruptor, knowing that its the only good protoss unit, but i did have enough immortals to fight with. Turns out I had enough to 1 shot his thors. He had lots of thor/tank/hellbat, and i blinked my stalkers to the front, and just started focus firing. killed a bunch of his thors, lost my army, warped in dts, blinked on top, by the time he scanned it was too late.
I’m sure the dt gimmick wouldnt work if i was vs innovation, but why don’t people make mass immortal vs thor? All i hear on forum is there is no way to counter mech as protoss. Then theres the opposite, I guess, where everyone says mech is bad vs protoss. Idk. Fun game tho

Sometimes, there is one starport which is pumping out BC.
You also need to clear hellbats in the front, which requires Archons + Zealots (few disruptors are also nice).
You also wouldn’t know he makes only thors
First of all, nobody brought balance up, so don’t try to derail by bringing it in, and telling someone their experience is irrelevant is definitely a knock, you autistic monkey brain.
Second of all, it wasn’t a monobattle, if u took the 8 minutes to watch the replay rather than blindly spew your opinion, or even read the post, where i mention stalkers, tanks, thors, and hellbats.
Further, I’m guessing you didn’t take the time to even look at my league, and your knees will get arthritis if you keep jerking them about like that.
I start some games intending to go IAC but then usually just make a crap ton of stalker/immortal/colossus, with some hts thrown in for storm and feedback. I make a couple archons, but I don’t have the SC1 skin for archon, so i don’t usually make them, if it can be avoided.
Actually, you brought it up by talking about how people on the forum say there is no way to counter mech as Protoss. Let me tell you a secret - if there’s no way for a race to counter a strategy, then…it’s UNBALANCED
It’s not a knock. It’s a straight up fact that your experience is irrelevant to balance. Not my fault youre a snowflake who can’t handle facts.
You asked why people don’t make mass immortal vs mass thor. mass immortal vs mass thor is…monobattle
Actually I did. The game isnt balanced around you.
Now, while it is true that Immortal is more consistent than Disruptor (you might miss shots), an Immortal is 275/100 and a Disruptor is 150/150. Also in ground mass immortals are excellent in fighting armored units but suck vs. light, Disruptors have no problems with exterminating everything that does not fly on top of AOE.
My advice: vs. mech go 6-7 Disruptors with 1-2 Immortals and 4-5 Adepts (for little sucker marines that will survive to the big Nova…Kaboom), the rest Carrier/Tempest/Voids.
You will see that your terran oppnents after leaving with no GG, will come here and whine about the Evil-Disruptor.
lol i won the game, dipwad. You have an axe to grind, and that’s all you do. You’re not unique. You’re a 2d npc on a msg board. How does that feel?
What debate? To have a debate you have two opposing sides and common ground in between. You’re an npc, and thus your narrative and opinions are incapable of changing. If you want to think i got rekt in your diatribe, i’m sure someone will support you. Probably your mom. Give her a call and wish her a happy memorial day. And tell her I said hi
I addressed your opening post in 3 sentences, even stating that I wasnt trying to knock you, and you are the one who responded with a two paragraph long diatribe. LOL
I’m going to guess youre just another one of the clowns I’ve schooled on this forum, and you still hold a grudge.
Like I said kid, relax, it’s just a video game forum.
Then leave the thread. Obviously somebody touched you in a bad way, or you wouldn’t be such a mono plus one dimensional tool. What did you say in your two sentences that was relevant to my OP?
Never said or implied that it was. You have an obessession with game balance, because you’re basic.
Also not relevant. Just leave, kiddo. Nobody is going to remember who schooled who. Like you said, it’s a video game forum.
and if we look thru ur nearly 2k posts what will we find? Whining about balance. Ok, kid. I actually enjoy playing this game, unlike some of the people on this forum.
The reason is because, although immortals do indeed wreck thors at equal supplies (> DPS and durability per supply for the immortals, and a tendency of the thors to get concaved), thors are rarely produced alone in a TvP mech composition. And current iteration of immortals get beaten quite effectively by sieged tank lines, specially once a critical mass has been reached. This is why you’ll see players such as Special or TY try to get that critical tanks mass before actually getting thors. EMPs can also change the way immortals do interact in fights, by triggering all the barriers.
Still, you did a good move there, as production time is one of the weaknesses of mech strategies. If you spot an opponent going mech, try including some archons with your immortals & chargelots, but conceptually, once the main armies neutralized each other, going of fast produced gateway units afterwards is a solid option to put the nail on the coffin.
