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.

What i have been doing recently is gasless fe throw down 2 gas as soon as expo goes up at 100 gas get fact and when you have 5 marines (constant when rax is at 100%) get a reactor etc etc attack when +2 mech is done with thors and bf hellions you dont have to reactor expo
