Terran has nothing to counter the fungal/neural combination. Ghosts and ravens don’t have anything close to what infesters can do. Terran armies are also slow and do better with defense. Zerg is quick and requires less micro. Newbie players frequently do well with Zerg because they are favored.

High Impact is much much better at dealing with BL no matter they are clumping or not. Why you want to use splash aoe versus BL despite it dealing little damage to them? Aoe splash only works well against light air unit that clump up, has longer delay than High Impact and less range (10 to 11). Nobody uses aoe splash versus BL because it is much worse. SCVs repairing Thors and block Broodlings? See how Broodlings work. BL fires broodling directly into Thors which will immediately surround the unit if there are too many of them. SCVs will be pushed away from repairing Thors and likely to be killed by Broodlings if they change the target. Try it on the test map and see how both mechanics work.

@MsHojat

The announcer was talking about how the AoE damage is shorter range, making it harder hit the BLs when they are on the hit-and-run like that (and less Thors will be able to hit, only the ones on the frontlines). Also while it is AoE it's much less damage, due to only dealing bonus damage vs light (damage is half vs non-light).

Zerg late-game, believe it or not, isn't that very strong to the point that they beat everything once you reach that. There are couples of matches when Zerg reach Infestor and BL tech and they still lose. Plus, ignoring player performance and blaming on race solely is simply a disrespectful because they don't want to admit that players are also a key to their success. Blaming race is much easier than compliment players performance.

Depends, Thors not only have more range and damage than vikings, but they also hit ground for a lot of damage and also wreck mutas They are pretty OP, but ofc they have counters

I disagree with Nathanias. Thors do not counter brood lords well. They are just as slow but do not produce a small unit that can run over to the target. This means the EFFECTIVE range of the brood lord is greater, and they are easier to support. It is impossible to keep your hellbats in front of your thors because they are just going to get killed by broodlings. Thors can't go over physical obstacles and have to deal with ledges and ramps. Ghosts and battle cruisers are better in my opinion. I understand neural parasite is an issue, but at least you force the Zerg player to have to dedicate a large portion of their supply corruptors instead of all brood lords. Too many brood lords and they can one shot anything on the ground, making it impossible to approach them. The ghosts are good as well because there is the possibility of EMPing the infestors and winning the fight that way.
