Is Corrupters still the best against this in ZvP ?? As it is now i am being roasted with roach/ling

Corruptors without some other kind of Lair tech unit suck.

They'll die really quickly without something to back them up and, really, you shoul have been sniping sentries a lot with a roachling build, so you shouldn't have to worry about collosi pushes.

I assume the Protoss went FFE. In that case you should've gone fast 3 base (3rd hatch up at 22-25 supply). Go for a +1 attack roach maxout around 11-13 minutes.

Attack, deny his 3rd. If you have a group of lings and the roaches, attack his natural and 3rd at the same time. Retreat the army that he responds to. So if he defends the 3rd from your roaches, kill probes/forge/core at his natural with lings.

The trick is to keep teching while you're doing this. When you move out with you maxed roach army, put up your 4th and at the same time get another evo for upgrades and infestation pit for infestors. That way you'll be prepared when he moves out. An alternative is to put up a spire for the corruptors instead of the infestors. I advise Infestors though, they have more utility and you can get Spire/Greater Spire after your 4th goes up.

Good luck!

How do you use infestors vs colosi? Do you use NP?

if the toss army is little no need to Natural parasite . kill stalkers and collosis is now useless . you can easly kill them .

Fungal + roachling goes through stalkers with no sentries really fast.

Roachling on it's own does quite well vs stalker collosi with no sentries but, with infestors, it's amazingly easy.

Roaches don't do !@#$ if protoss is going 2 base allin with 4 or 5 collosy and everithing else

Try to saturate third but also try an max with muta/ling/baneling and be ready to switch into roaches if protos goes for archon and/or mass stalkers

I win a lot vs 2base collosi allins now. I used to think that it was a direct counter.
It's too immobile and can be flanked to easily if the sentry count is low.
If the sentry count is high, but they don't have a probe or two, just base race. 9/10 times you'll win in that situation. They'll either come out of position to defend their base, or you'll just straight up kill them.
