 | seige tanks 100 min 100 gas
 collosus  300 min 200 gas
 
 basically 2-3 tanks vs 1 collosus which is far higher tech.  You can't bitch much about this especially when you factor in army compositions.

 | Wrong. Tanks are 150 min 125 gas.
The upgrade to siege is 100/100

 | I googled it(the web isn't always right).  I don't use terran.  
 Still  2 tanks for 1 collosus and don't even try to bring the tech costs into it.  Robo bay+ robo facility+ lance upgrade is mega bucks.

 | People telling colossi beat tanks have you forgot that colossi attack does 15 dmg every 1,65 sec with range of 9 and tank does 50 dmg every 3 sec with range of 13 ( 13?! WTF?!?!?! OP????) in siege mode? There is a slight difference im just saying   . In many occasions, colossi are just a cannon fodder, just not as useful as thors or ultralisks. 
 Protoss units are superb in one thing only and that is massive void ray/phoenix fleet backed up by mothership and a few observers the further game proceeds. So after tier 2, avoid training ground units, go for voids and phoenix depending what opponent has. Every ground unit is awfully useless against seasoned players towards endgame except stalkers in some occasions and probes are ownage for summoning mass photon cannons. So, zealots big big blah, sentries big big big big big big big blah, dark templari blah, high templari blah, colossi blah, immortals blah, stalkers okay and probes oh yeah.

 Colossi has 2 beams, so it does 30 damage, not 15, and it is an awesome unit. Newb.

 | For bombard/support DPS unit there is no doubt:
 Siege tank>Broodmother>Colossus. End of story.

 Prove me different, how you see colossi more useful than tanks? Colossi are basically instant robot junk after a small wave of vikings. Easy way to nail tanks or broodmothers that are protected properly? No.
 
 ps. incredibly new? I have played this game since it was published and i played SC1 10 years + before that.

 You play on gold, maybe you are not new, but you definitely suck, which is even worst. Newbs can get better.
 You didn`t even know how much damage colossi inflicts.

 Really starting to feel that way.
 
 A lot more roach play right now and the extra range is helping out ridiculous amounts.  I haven't won any games with toss in about 10 or so matches...
 
 I also haven't played in a month either but still.

 | GSL s2 they are doing very poorly.  Considering toss is like the most popular race (atleast tied with terran) that is bad._________________
