I hate when units are under utilized. I feel sorry for them. Give the Thor a speed upgrade at the armory and he will be able to rejoin the Terran race.

Thor needs to be downscaled as well. It is just too clunky to be used as anything other then medivac add-on
Thor is perfectly fine

Thors? Why would you feel bad for thors? They get used everywhere.

Thors just need their size cut in half, damage cut in half, supply cost cut in half and that unit would be worth it.

I, too, feel sorry for them… but for different reasons.
Lol wut? Thors are really good. They’re probably the best unit Terran has after the Marine.

They may be good, they may be utilized, my contention is that they are under utilized in pro gameplay. Or when they are used en mass it leads disproportionately to defeat. I believe this is because they are too slow to be used effectively for more than anti air. It’s like the BC before the tactical jump, and requires a similar radical remedy.
The way that units scale, that smaller version would actually need a buff somewhere. You cannot just cut all values by a fraction and call it a day. The resulting unit will be much weaker than the original unit because the individual units die faster, causing faster DPS loss in combat.

This reminds me, wasn’t that “Goliath” unit basically this?
Sometimes I do miss the reactor Cyclones. Only sometimes.
Are you also sorry for the muta or it’s just a terran thing?

I think you just answered your own question
Lol if you think Thor is one of the best Terran units I don’t even want to know which ones are bad…

I’m more confused about how you could possibly lose with mass thor lol It’s the only thing Terran does that I struggle against as Zerg.

Then maybe just try to use literally everything except mass roaches.
I don’t do roach against mech outside of the first 7-8 minutes when it’s the only economically viable option. After that it’s Hydra Viper because nothing else can trade against thors. And even then the second I run out of viper energy the reinforcement march of thors, tanks, and marines just roflstomp my hydra and consuming vipers. If you’re losing with a Thor build you’re really bad at SC2.
Seems like you fixed ur problem with thors yourself. Also you could try speedlings, magicbox mutas (when there is low amount of thors), speedlings with ultras support, bl with melee support, infestors or just anything with constant blinding cloud casting to reduce the thor range to 0.
Thors trade amazingly well against broodlords… at least until infestors show up and they become less than useless.

it wasn’t the Tactical jump that made them see more gameplay. It was mostly the Attack while moving buff that made them a more effective unit for batttles since they cannot be kited.

Then why are you sorry for the thor? When shooting air it does to air units what siege tanks and liberators do to ground units, has a decent anti-ground attack too, and doesn’t have the mobility restrictions of a siege tank. If anything it is too broad of a unit, it is basically a Mech Marine without the micro requirements and as a result it is used too often. It’s also a VERY boring unit. About all you can do with them is F2+A+Click.
