7R3 Debate

So with WoW concluding I have enough to do a 3rd 7R3, since I begrudgingly spent the units on cyber weekend.
I have the materials for Bishop and Maestro/Terrax.
My 2 R3s are Hulk and Shuri.
- I think Bishop is a great 2 way champ, awesome for BGs.
- Maestro is lackluster on offense, unless I have missed something, but a true pain on defense without a specific counter and skilled game play to avoid that sp1 (that 3rd beam still gets me about half the time somehow).
- I actually use Terrax on AW attack frequently since I run lane 3. He's okay on defense too, but I still think he is underrated as an attacker by most.
I am being patient on this until 8.4 drops and I explore it. Because I know if I pull the trigger, I am getting that class gem.
Who's the best bang for the buck in your opinion?

Btw, r3 maestro is a very safe rank up tbh, most players have him at r2 and high chance they won't spend a ban on him
Interesting to see Terrax even in the mix there - I use him sometimes in AQ, too; he can do most of the fights Hulkling/Galan can do; plus Bleed/Shock paths.
He's definitely underrated as an attacker; and in fights where you can spam between SP3/SP2s, he gets really fun. I'd be interested to see a damage comparison between Terrax and Maestro, used by someone who knows what they're doing...
And while Maestro is definitely defensively focused, don’t sleep on his offensive capabilities. The triple immunities let him take a lot of fights other champs just can’t do. He’s a cosmic that actually gets stronger when you nullify his buffs, and his buffs also can’t have their ability accuracy reduced. The glancing all basic attacks is very underrated offensively. Effects that trigger on the opponents basic attacks just get turned off. For example you can parry Hulkling and he won’t get the pierce buffs. Also you can eat a combo and lose very little health. Lastly his damage isn’t bad at all, it’s definitely nothing crazy but it certainly isn’t bad. If he’s awakened or it’s a matched like Hazard shift where you’re constantly triggering one of his debuff immunities he can stay ramped almost indefinitely.
Without the dupe his damage will feel quite abit weaker. But the devs said they were discussing ways
To awaken him, and if nothing else he’s a great AG candidate since you’ll never dupe him from a crystal.
I have a R3 bishop and he’s a monster dual threat, probably the wiser choice to rank up, but just thought I’d share abit on Maestro’s offensive capabilities since he’s very slept on in that way.
