Everytime I play I come up against the same cheese tactics from players - if their cheese tactic doesn’t work, they don’t know what to do or quit early.
Cheese tactics usually involve spamming out loads of the same unit, goliath rush then all air etc.
On the loading screen there is a message saying that a diverse army is better. This is rarely ever the case.
The balancing has improved over time but still has a bit to go imo. The game would be better if it went back to the original aim of encouraging players to make diverse armies not cheese armies.
Cheese tactics as you put it, rarely ever work. As you’ve said; if their rush fails then they don’t know what to do. That rush will fail horribly if someone scouts the attack before it can come to fruition.
The problem is not that cheeses are good (they aren’t) but that you don’t know how to counter them effectively.
Outside of Goliaths none of the rush units are hard to stop early game. If you’re UNSC then you use an AI turret or two, if you’re Banished then you make some suicide grunts and choppers.
Goliaths are overpowered, yeah. JPB also get ridiculous after they get Dark Skies. It’s a combination of them having too much health and scouts not doing their job well enough. The best way to avoid getting cheesed is to always scout early vs a Colony. If they’re cheesing, you need jackrabbits and flamers or choppers and suicide grunts. Engineers are also helpful for banished as they keep your base alive.

Two things you need to do
1)scout
2)when cheese is confirmed build jackrabbits and anti infantry. Banished choppers and anti infantry.
when you stop their rush guess what you will be so far ahead of them the only way you would lose if you choked really badly or your playing a top player which isn’t really common a lot of ppl in champ ranks aren’t really top lv players there
Personally I find jpb to be worse than goliaths. If you scout goliaths early enough. They become a problem if they get to your base. Jpb’s on the other hand are cheaper so easier to mass and with their y plus stun can mess up your army, especially if combo’d with some lp’s.
Back on topic, a quick scout of what they are up to will help massively. Even so you won’t always be able to counter everything everytime but you’ll have a better chance.
Totally agree with the advice relating to the goliath rush etc. Spot on with that.
My problem isn’t so much that the tactics are unstoppable, it’s more that players are just doing the same thing over and over.
Maybe I’m just moaning because I wasted my Saturday getting rinsed by banshee armies
