I just don't see Huk and MC use any special build or strategy. They pretty much rely on adepts. As others have said from a single unit perspective adepts are already out of hand. It is better than the zealot even without its special ability... how does that even make sense? And enough is said about its cost-effectiveness. Also conceptually it is just wrong to have a unit that is good at harassing (demolishing even) the mineral line to be tanky. This pretty much makes walling off the only option. And then of course with 2 sec warp-ins th warp prism can easily win the game, especially when moving out. Even from the fun perspective I think the design fails. The fun comes from diversity of play, not from how single unit performs. Sure the adept ability is interesting in itself, but it can only be interesting for maybe 2-3 games, if we are seeing it every game. Same if we are going to see tank drops every game. | ||

Atm, I think the it's the Protoss that needs to do a lot of damage, otherwise they just lack an army to really compete in late game. Bomber/MMA seemed to play like they're were on a timer, but in reality it was the other way around. And because they kept splitting their army up, the adepts were so cost-efficient against small amounts of bio that can't dps them down quick enough. I agree 100%. The onesidedness of the games was due to "user error", for lack of a better term. MMA/Bomber kept committing suicide in the early game, instead of defending and making liberators. Liberators are the reason why P try to end it early and why T is favoured in the mid/late game. The roles have reversed since HotS. | ||

it definitely can, the harder matches are coming. If he can beat herO (hard) and Dear (maybe even harder) I don't see a T resisting his momentum. | ||

In that case, terran could use a unit that has an ability where that click their CC it gains the ability to hit ground and air units at 13 range that lasts for 20 seconds. | ||

That is not needed, because, as I've said several times in the thread, if the Terran just stays in his base (just like how P has to in HotS), and defends, it is really hard for the P to do damage, let alone end the game. However, if you do non stop drops trying to do damage to P, you are bound to lose to Adepts, which are really great at shredding workers and dispatching small amounts of marines. | ||
