What race are you playing as. There are counters for EVERYTHING.
I've really been enjoying the beta ( ranked 15 on the 1v1 Platinum ladder league :D ).
There are some balance issues, which usually work to my advantage.
If you see a zerg, they're most likely going Roaches.
Terran will usually go Marauders.
Protoss are the most versatile of the races and slightly unpredictable.
Scouting in this game is even more important than in SC1. It's essential because you need to know if your opponent is going air or stealth, because counters need to be researched or obtained and take time. Overlords no longer see stealth by default, zerg have poor AA early game, terran can't counter AIR effectively until later unless they stack marines (which rarely happens for good reason), protoss are an either-or species (whatever they specify in will result in a weakness).

I play terran, even though I've been really working on my open it's been pretty rough trying to take a protoss round unless they are bad, or i can pull an excellent trick or two.
Ozymandias:
Ghosts and banshees would be my recommendation, with emphasis on the banshees.
EMP shields and obliterate them from the air before they can get carriers out. Any ground units effective against imms are going to be decimated by the colossi before they have a chance. FF the colossi with your banshees and move in marines to take out immortals if you can manage that level of micro.
You'll need to rush air, though, basically, and that means you need to keep a close watch on toss opponents to know you have to do that.
EDIT: An even quicker, more economical way to deal with it would just be vikings/marines. Colossi count as air so a fleet of vikings will rip through them, letting your marines take out the immortals afterward.

Ozymandias:
