Kind of true in general though. What are the counters to Thors? Because they seem massively overpowered at the moment.
Thors are only good against light air units (muta especially). Otherwise they do something like 8 DPS to non-light. In other words, an unstimmed marine does as much damage against non-light air as a Thor, minus the splash. Broodlords absolutely screw them up, as they are forced to waste fire on the broodlings. Terran should be able to mess them up with a standard siege tank line, or Marine/Marauder combo (or both). You can also completely neuter their AA with a raven using PDD if you were going Banshees or BCs. Protoss have Immortals which are pretty good. You can also use High Templar's feedback for a cool 200 damage instantly. Frankly, anyone who masses Thors is a noob. There are much better units.
FFA generally leans more towards air units. Void ray/Carrier or Battlecruiser/Viking spam. Course, 99% of players have no idea how to macro and try to get 200 supply worth of Battlecruisers off 1 base with 1 starport while I just play a standard game and wipe them out 20 mins before they have an army
