So maybe we're approaching the problem from the wrong perspective? Maybe if we changed our build order we'd have more anti-air early on, and hellbat drops would be ineffective because we'd have enough stalkers to blast down the medivacs. Heavier gateway emphasis, maybe, in the early game instead of going LOL 3 NEXUS OFF 1 GATE 1 ROBO.
Maybe a fast stargate? Maybe gateways? Who knows. But there are ways to beat these drops, and players just are blindly doing what they did before instead of adapting more and trying really outside-the-box things.
I'm sure some people have experimented, but most people are just doing standard WoL openers into whatever new unit comp they pick.
I agree with this.
If someone goes with such a heavy one base build as hellbat drop, then maybe you should be opening 3gate before expand.
Lot's of people cry OP when they can't 1 gate FE, 15 hatch, 1 rax FE, it's a new game with a lot more agressive units meaning safer builds need to be used until a new meta game is figured out.
