I’d say a good 75% of the games in TvT are battlecruiser rushes. Let me tell you how fun it is to play against on a scale of “FML” to “This is the worst TvT has ever been”.
I do not know anyone who is enjoying the state of TvT right now. No one plays standard because of the BC. Nerf it! Nerf it so that rushes are not possible. Remove the teleport option. Make it require a research upgrade that costs 300 minerals and 300 gas. Just do something so I do not have to deal with 2 BCs teleporting around my base wiping out my SCVs and then jumping back home and repairing (really fun).
They are nerfing TJ next patch, and buffing TvT Ravens while nerfing TvT Ravens.

Bc rush is easy to hold make cyclone raven and than vikings and learn to scout … Only in wooden league you will play that in 75 % of your games… I played against it like once or twice in hundreads of games, only troll would do that build, because it suck…

**** I know what you mean man; I’m tired of all the BC rushes/harass. Just nuke that unit to oblivion.
With all due respect, BC rushes in TvT are one of the worst builds you can do, because terran, more than any other race, has the ability to shut them down, and do so hard.

Please post a replay of this at the diamond+ level.
I don’t play against the rushes often enough to have a replay on the current patch, but I can do so from a previous patch when I get home.

It’s standard to get a cyclone and viking early in tvt, which can kill a bc easily, if they have yamato then just viking or just cyclone is enough with repair.

See, this is the REAL reason we need he Viking buff.
I want a liberator buff to deal with ultras.
Request granted: you can now* get lib range before investing in a second starport.
*I suppose I should clarify that as after the patch, not right now.
legit, now just buff banshees and we good.
Banshees with speed are already pretty good. With good micro and multitasking, the basically never die in TvZ. The key is to have a big deathball unit behind it so you actually benefit from how you are slowing Zerg’s economy and tech. (And nullifying any attack before hydras). Personally, I prefer to mass BCs once I have 6-8 banshees.
The more important problem is that changing banshees could seriously whack the meta in TvP; we don’t need another stargate era.
Ravens hard counter BCs. BCs are terrible until the extreme late game.

Vs BC rush, make one or two cyclones (two if he has yamoto), and research magfield. Enjoy your free wins.

I have a ton of them burried somewhere in my replay history. Cyclone Raven shuts it down good unless Yamato is out. Just don’t make marines vs BCs…ever! You need mech to fight it.

Lmao. We’ve come full circle just like we did with reapers. Terrans don’t care about how OP something is until it is jammed down their own throats.
BC rush got harmlessly shut down every time it was attempted by pros in the WCS finals, without a single exception. I’ve yet to see any evidence from the whiners at all in any form whatsoever, that it is OP.

You got one guy whining about it, and all the other Terrans laughing at him for falling to something that they agree is horribly underpowered and so easily shut down by Ravens.
I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion.
