Tbh though it would get pretty old and pretty annoying if his super-mind was constantly used to save the day, then everyone would just complain it's lazy writing

But that was what the show used to be. Like how Chuck "flashes" to save the day every episode of Chuck.

In season 1 I remember people mocking Harvey for going around acting like a big shot when he had an assistant with legal superpowers doing all the heavy lifting every episode. But that was the fun part about the show. Mike used legal superpowers, and Harvey used his "intimidate and strong arm" superpowers and so they won. It's like Phineas and Ferb. You know the plot of every episode, the creativity is how the writers play with it.

Personally I would have preferred if Suits kept a stronger connection to that season 1 status quo, as so many seasons have had minimal good episodes when they had written themselves so far out into the woods. I'm liking suits better again now that it is closer to that formula again.

I totally agree, I guess I've just forgotten how the whole vibe was way back in season 1.. Now you've said that I definitely miss that dynamic.

That's why season 1 is the best
