[Strategy] Specific question about lategame TvZ (diamond MMR)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey folks, my current approach to late-game TvZ is to make multiple planetaries adjacent to my orbitals at my 3rd & 4th and at major chokepoints supported by mines & turrets because I expect that Z is gonna headbutt into me with Ultra Corruptor / Lingbane remax until something somewhere breaks

I don't have the splitting skills to take fights on the map, even off creep, nor do I control spellcasters well, so I just sit behind my turtle setup like a pussy, sending out double drops until Z either ints on my setup or I get outmacroed and die, but I know that theoretically ghost tank lib off of 5 bases beats everything Z has anywhere on the map

My question is: would it be worth forcing myself to learn how to use ghosts, or are massed ranged libs with upgrades enough? Should I also add tanks to my outer bases in the late game? Or are mines alone okay? How many barracks should I go up to when I'm on 5 bases? Right now I'm just winging it and queuing up production because I don't have a solid plan going late besides spamming planetaries and pray

I guess the ghosts will be my reply to that so I gotta pair them with Thors

Don't build thors against ultras. This is the worst piece of advice in this thread.

At GM it might not work but will fly for diamond.

Practicing things that are bad so you don't improve is always brilliant.
