Thors actually do quite well against voids, assuming you have enough of them. Anti-light splash makes voids cry inside. Honestly though, pretty much any AA that isn't a capital ship will do pretty damn good... For the zerg out there, if you really want a show then Fungal Growth them when they come in to harass and watch the fireworks

Gonna have to disagree with you there. The whole point of voids is that they do more DPS the higher tech you use - you have to degrade to stalkers or phoenix, or marines instead of thors. Thors will get charged upon super easily, but with some marine micro you'll be able kill a couple voids before they get charged up on your weak marines.
Plus aren't voids armoured? Anti light splash won't help like they do against mutas.

That doesn't work anymore in the retail version.
alchemist is right about thor vs voids.
Also, it is too early to call imbalance on races right now. Zerg might be harder to play right now but we need to give more time for metagames to develop. A while back thors were considered very good against mutas. Now thors are terrible against mutas.

Lol believe me, as a zerg player, they're really not. They're still a great counter to mutas, considering one mis-micro from the zerg player can cause 4-6 mutas to get into the red with 1 volley of the thors missiles.
It's easy to control mutas when that's all you're doing, but when you're attacking thors with your muta force and trying to control your lings, use your infestors to cast, and macro up at the same time, it's easy to mess up once making mutas terrible against thors once again.

I feel for you. As a Terran player, I find it easy to kill mutas with a simple bio ball.
They seriously need to make Zerg more forgiving to play.

Because its not. Each race is balanced in its own way. One race might be better early game, whereas another might be better late game. A lot of what SC2 is about is being able to scout your enemy to know what strategy they are going for, so you can counter it.
