Especially in TvZ. It comes far too early and does far too much damage with astonishingly little effort.
It honestly doesn’t feel like harassment. This isn’t a protoss expertly dancing around spore crawler range while picking off drones, or banshees focus firing drones. This is literally click on your opponents main, move command over drone line, click on a few queens, leave the screen entirely and focus on macro while BCs auto roast a ton of drones, overlords and queens. We’ve never had a “harrass” unit that can literally AFK in your opponents base and still do tremendous damage. And even more convenient is that once the BC is done harassing (if it ever stops) it can be used to safely clear creep, overlords and can even be re purposed into a strong mid-game assault unit or an ultra late game unit. Just imagine if oracles can “morph” into colossi with extended thermal lances. It’s beyond disgusting.

TJ needs to require vision or an upgrade. That’s really all it would take to fix TvZ BC rushes.

Let’s nerf the BC sure but Zerg have plenty of broken stuff as well such as Nydus, Swarm Hosts and Infestors so…

totally agree with this bc bs~
Totaly agree. Remove TJ. Also both tactical and mass recall. And nydus. And Prism. Also infestor. All these are so BS.
I don’t know about it balance-wise, but it’s really stupid and frustrating when trying to learn Zerg. And it’s also stupid just to watch.

No it is not https://_www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI7WpIDFILI
Don’t remember which game think 2, serral didn’t even scouted anything in the game and let speacil get away with 3 minute third cc and than he was holding bc just with 2 queens and spore. Pulls drones behind spore and if you dive in with bcs pull they away. It is important to not lose any drones and after dealing with hellions with other 4 queens he went back to defend in main. He could even build more lings since he saw attack coming to allocate all queens in main. There is no drawback to make 6 queens even more, if yo usee bcs than, he went up to 8 i think, because you defending every build terran can do just massing queens essentialy sure you use ling and bane too, but queens hold every all in and attack in the game and it is mainly queens that holds it, this unit is so imba, especially when they buffed its range, banshee suck now, it is trash queen have 9-10 range when lock on target. And you don’t dive with queens under bcs you try to get shots of from range and kite sine they have large range and transfuse. Good zerg lose like 1 queen serral didnt even lose that. And bcs lose hp quickly when you dive into spore, than zerg pull his drone to lose nothing while queens shootign to it and you can attack with roaches and do dmg on small maps you will outnumber cyclones massively, especially if terran gets like 2-3 bcs, becsue he will have no production, or nydus with queen, or fast corruptor and than bcs suck and you wont have enough cyclones to kite back, problem with cyclonees they are expensive and roaches outnumber them 3 to 1. Bcs should no almost 0 dmg, if you play properly. And you just hold and get op infestors and swarmhosts and it is over, you have to play out of your mind as terran to win. Especially since infested marines was bugged and are now, and ignore armor. And no seeker while 1 fungle kill almost half of your army and terran has no aoe… And noone cnat emp all infestors thorugh army ghosts die and good zerg have even some hidden on map or leave 3 behind not in fight…
so youre telling me swarm hosts and infestors can teleport around the map at 6:00? cool
They can’t buft Nydus actually can and it is way cheaper than BC.
For that matter, you can have a 3:30 ling/Queen Nydus.

This has been proven by many that it is indeed stoppable. I would recommend looking over X5_pigs videos about it. Challenging… yes, broken… I would disagree
There is no RTS game in history that has a unit teleport across the map like that, breaking all convention of movement, this is the dumbest invention sc2 creators have ever made. Especially in tvz. Sc2 is a horribly imbalanced game. One has to follow the EXACT meta (build a spore crawler and lots of queens) to counter this, and it’s horribly not fun to play at all, zerg is defensive, and has no way to do a rush besides roach ravager or the risky bane/ling (and roach ravager will leave you dead to banshees and the aforementioned BC). Starcraft is horribly not fun to play. SC Brood War was much more fun to play, and perfectly balanced, without this years and years of Bull S**t tweaking just making a total mess of what was once an incredible franchise. And I am someone with about 10,000 online games of Sc2. Visuals and technicals of the game are awesome. It’s just the game is horribly horribly designed, is not balanced, and it not fun to play at all (under certain matchups only, but, it’s a big enough flaw). I like to play random, so that not all my games are the same thing. When I get zvt, I want to throw my computer out the window. Maybe I am lifetime 30,000 total SC1+2 games, but, I think I am done with it. I don’t have time to follow a specific meta build to counter a specific BS wtf teleport into your base with Tier3 unit, and do this completely not fun BS stuff. SC used to be fun. Now it’s a piece of s–t. Manged by completely clueless people. CLUELESS.
