OK so I tried Ohm bots but as soon as I kill the initial rush and start the attack they are raped by enemy turrets turrets cause Ohms are about as fragile as that your mom's self esteem. I could tech up to Field Inverters but by that time I'm dead from inquisitors and such. Redirection turrets help, but they don't get the job done.

So far, my most successful tactic was a combo of dervishes, hackers, and computing tier 3 (hackers freeze units in place dervishes run into middle and do death blossom).

Any tips?

If you are talking about the game we had earlier(good game BTW), I suggest that you should attack earlier.

As soon as I saw that you had multiple air assembly and a bunch of ohm bots, I spammed turrets like crazy. By that point, there was not much that you could do.  End-game masari is near unstoppable for a player that turtles.

You did have a good mix of units though. Perhaps using viruses more would have helped you.

Did you attack with just ohms? Or did you mix up Ams and Variants? Sending ohms to an opponent's base is asking for a quick death. Empowered lightmode turrets can easily take 20:1 ratio which obviously is a waste of resources at that point.

Without seeing your exact BO and/or replay, it's impossible to help devise an improving point. Not to mention there are plenty of different counters.  

Also what time of game are you talking about?
Intial Rush Early game Mid game Late game?

Your best bet is to simply do an inquisitor rush against an opponent, see how they counter and respond. If they beat you, save the replay and you have the solution.

If you are GUses in game than yes I'm takling about that game. Once those first inquisitors came I kinda panicked and started spamming Redirection Turrets and Ohms. I sent the Ohm bots to the enemy base with several Dervishes, and I lost track of the Dervishes for a minute then found 'em again and they were all about to die cuz they were stupid and ran into AA.

The best way to deal with M is to make a successful rush attack that should at least give you time to build up your base.

I now in my later games I normally tech up so I get multitasking for hackers and have them around the base. Two hackers should normaly lock a full inqisator attack and then let your turrets and ohmbots do the work.
