[PvZ] Mass roaches?

Replay: http://drop.sc/233469

I don't know where I went wrong. I have stalkers, immortals and sentries and he's just pumping out mass roaches, then the fight gets dragged on and even though I hit him as his greater spire is upgrading, it's still not enough.

In the end, he just wipes me out after his broodlords are done.

Any tips or better builds will be much appreciated.

Proper forcefields and just a little bit of micro can turn the whole game I'm also trying my best to improve my micro and forcefields placement

As stated above already, FF's are how to beat it fairly easily. Pick a good choke spot, keep an obs on their army at all time (even if they get overseers they cant actually hit it :/) Then FF the army in half, pay attention and micro those immortals like your life depends on it. FF until you have one last run of them. FF back off regroup. If they back off go pick off an expansion.

Take a look at this: http://day9.tv/d/Day9/no-colossus-pv...-creatorprime/

The analysis shows good use of force fields and only use of stalker/immortals/sentries. There is a lot of good to be taken from creator's play.

Not many zergs get too many roaches because they know if the protoss responds correctly its not that hard to stop.
I think its important to not panic and throw down forcefields like crazy but you should be precise with them. Once your forcefields are good dealing with roaches is a matter of keeping your immortals alive.

I don't know what game you're playing but I can inform you that 'mass roach' generally involves massing a large amount of roaches.
