Hi everyone,

Im brand new to starcraft, i've been playing for about 1 and a half weeks now but i cant seem to get my head around protoss.

When I origionally did my placements I was placed in high gold, and beat almost every terran/zerg I came up against, but ive had endless difficulty vs protoss. I'm continuously scouting, using scans to watch for a DT tech patch or Collosi path, if I see him going DT i get a engineering bay and put down turrets, if he goes collosi I go vikings. Now if im doing these shouldnt it mean I should win? i have a maxed bio army and hes still on 1-2 bases while im on 3 looking preparing for a fourth. But as soon as I attack he steamrolls me. even off 1 base I get demolished, I send in 10+ vikings during a skirmish and they instantly get killed by his stalkers.

Ive also tried putting on early pressure vs fast expands but I always seem to get matched with a protos on a map where theres a tiny choke leading to their natural and I lose half my units going in from a cannon and his miniature army.

A few questions i would love answered:

1. How many vikings should i have per collosi on average?
2. What are some good timings to push forge fast expands?(How many units will they have when i first initiate etc)
3. How do I kill a turtling protoss?
4. Are hellion rushes at all efficent vs 1 or 2 basing protoss?

I could think of a million more questions because im so new but I dont want to annoy a community that im brand new to haha

Any tips on what I can try? or any questions about how I play so I can better explain my situation?

Edit: im on the US server so sorry if anyone tries to add me but im not sur how to swap over to SEA.
Thanks a million in advance
