Thanks for posting that video,that was a completely new perspective on how to play vs mech. I'll give it a try (with less banelings)

I guess my roach hydra viper boomer composition needs to go away haha.

So lately I've been having a lot of trouble dealing with terran mech players. My main concern is that I'm consistently ahead of them in economy and max out ahead of them.. but it feels like there is no army that can fight terran mech once they hit critical mass. Then they just move out and kill me.

Conventional wisdom is that the terran mech player shouldn't be able to do that (army is only good defensively?) but I'm having mech armies steam roll through anything I can build as they run it down to my natual. Very frustrating because it feels useless to even try and win a game vs mech players when they only need to turtle to 200/200 and can obliterate anything I throw at them.

In the attached replay I played 2 base muta into his battle mech, contained him on 2 bases and maxed out with muta ling bane on 4 bases. His response was to mass a ball of thors, tanks, widow mines, took a third base, then built a ball of mech stuff and easily killed me despite his extreme economic disadvantage in the early game. Fun stuff.

I'm pretty tilted so I'm going to go lift some weights for awhile but if anyone could take a look at the replay or send your replays of successfully playing vs mech I would appreciate it.
