Thors work as Goliaths too.
I've got Heart of the Swarm, and I really am liking it. I'm also very, very happy that they re-added swarming.
I mainly play Terran, and usually 2v2 with my friend. Strategy is ususally whatever works, but it always starts with a wall-in plus defense.
Personally I like mass Widow Mines.
I play as protoss, but I haven't done any placement matches into sc2 yet. HotS is amazingly hilarious to play, especially when you have mass tempests and a mothership. :D.
I use the 4 gate or proxy warp opening, then go into robotics facilities.
I used to play a lot of WoL and I've been getting back into HoTS recently. It's gonna be a while before I poke my head back into the multiplayer arena again, though...
I play Zerg, since it's always a blast even if I'm not particularly good at it. When in doubt, spam roaches and hydras.
Goliaths were removed from multiplayer in WoL. You can still use them in campaign, but not in matches online. I think Vikings replaced them.
I got WoL a few days ago and It's amazing. I've tried the vikings, great anti-air but I don't like the transforming idea. THey work great with banshees though.

Can I ask what you don't like about the transforming idea?
Personally, I like the Terrans having transformers. It just seems like a fun idea to me.

I'm not really sure. I know I hate playing Empire of the Rising Sun in Red Alert 3 because half the units you have to change to use its other ability. I like to have something that is primary a flight unit. I do have exceptions like the siege tank.
The viking assaultmode is useless except for harassing workers. Even then, the banshee does that better.
Now if vikings were like Archangels from HotS...

Hi, I finished my Archangel. Now let me put it in my base and spam rockets half-way across the map.
Oh, what's that? I've got my Archangel in you base? I don't see it anywhere.
Hmm...
To reply to your saying vikings are useless, I played several games with my friend where mass viking won us the game.
Also, I wish Blizzard had actually implemented Warhounds. Those would have been a fun unit to play with.
I did not say vikings were completely useless, their AA mode is really nice. The warhounds would have been a better fit for ground attacks, though. I would've wanted at least a half-mexican guy to be in starcraft 2...
I've seen videos of why Warhounds aren't in the game. Apparently one of the only counters was mass baneling. I think that increasing the amount of supply they take up, or reducing the damage/how fast they shoot could solve this.
I also really like it's quotes. "You can take that chain of command, and go hang yourself with it."
Don't want to seem like I'm posting too much in this thread, but I don't want to see it forgotten and drowned in the other threads.
Anyway, most games I've been playing recently I have rushed to Raven, then massed. Personally, I feel like this is a solid build, except maybe against mass Battlecruiser.
I like mass Raven because of the ability to deal lots of splash damage. It can also easily attack bases, because all AA static defenses shoot "missile" projectiles. Point defense drone + auto turret essentially wipes everything up.
I had to make the topic as the opportunity for me to do so was just right. So, a few discussion base questions...
1. Did you like Heart of the Swarm? (if this applies to you)
2. What race do you play as in multiplayer games?
3. What types of strategies do you use?
Stuff like that.

That's my dealio.

Also, spam stalkers and marines/marauders for other races.
I haven't played enough matches to have any real strategies .

I do stalker/voidray as stalkers can tank most damage and void rays can burn heavy armored units down super quick.
