Which is why Terrans can put their marines in a bunker. Terran
defense does not exist without bunkers.

A few bunkers will tear up those Zealots. It's all in the positioning.
Ofcourse, also have some SCV's handy for continuous repairs. :D

A terran will also have turrets all over his base. Turret = detector.
Turret + bunker = Dead lurker. And how do you shoot "down"
a science facility? Do you mean a vessel? You know, the fast
moving one that can shield, irradiate and emp.

A powerful "spell" such as lockdown would never get an autocast.
You could very compare it to Cyclone, which doesn't have an
autocast either.
