Thanks HEAPS all - definitely tons to think about and put into practice. I'm going to have this thread going in another window during laddering.
I've been doing a lot of mech builds in TvZ lately, but really just to increase my repertoire of builds rather than any kind of preference for the playstyle.
Yeah... if you are doing mech builds, it will obviously be a hellion expand into 3 fact. You do want to time out your armory so you can get two thors out at around 10-11 minutes if you expect mutas. with a thor in each mineral line, they won't have enough mutas to magic box them yet with repair, so you can skip turrets until you see the actual mutas.
Blindly investing into any kind of specific hard counter is usually a bad move.
