    You do understand that you just confirmed my claim?

    You just named actions that take a LOOOOT more micro and skill to do to just stop Terrans Stimpack hotkey and attackmove action. At least that is how it looks to me.
    Also as an average player there is no way I will be able to do all that in that fight.

    Also you will not have Colossi when the first well timed attack comes without Medivacs. That is the attack you need to survive. If you do not win that one and he keeps pushing it is GG everytime.
    In that attack you will have at most 1 immortal.

    I don't think you understand how effective those spells are. Even if you do those things in a subpar fashion, you will still destroy the MM force with like 60% of your army remaining, and then attack-move the enemy base for the win.

    The only reason this didn't work in that TvP game that was posted, was because the guy lost too many units early on, and didn't upgrade the whole game. Good micro isn't enough to cover bad macro.

    You should also have like 10 zealots and 8 sentries. Spam a wall behind the MM force, guardian shield up, attack move, gg. Sure it takes more micro, but if you do it right, you will win the battle with 60% of your army remaining and have a huge advantage for the rest of the game.

    This is not my experience, but as I said I cannot hope to do all that you mentioned in one battle. I am an average player with APM up to 70 and find it unfair that terrans are so much easier to play.

    Okay then there's two things you are doing wrong:

    1) Aren't macroing properly. Of course if the terran attacks with a force that is 50% larger than you, you will lose despite any micro. Same thing if they get weapon/armor upgrades and you don't.

    2) You have too many stalkers. Even if you have equal forces and similar upgrades, if your army consists of 3 colossi and 30 stalkers, of course you are still going to lose, because MMM counters stalkers. Instead you should be getting tons of zealots to tank, and sentries to block. Works SO much better.

    Yes, I tried that, still lost. Stimpacked clump of MMM is really powerful, especially against Zerg.

    As for nerfing terran it seems Blizzard thinks they are too weak so them buffed him again while not helping zerg at all. Maybe toss could kill him with mass zealots and sentry and later a few HT, but this buff will only make Zerg lose to MMM even easier.

    I guess you are going to have to start attaching some replays, because you have done something wrong and I don't know exactly what.

    Zerg counter to MM: banelings.

    Also, if you didn't notice, zerg got buffed the most in the recent patch. Infestor frenzy, overseer contamination and free unit drops, etc.
