Short games are pretty boring for me and all that seems to happen in 2v2 is constant rushes. I play random so spawning as terran is normaly no problem to defend. But my friend plays as protoss and if I spawn as zerg it's got to the point where I don't bother scouting and 8 pool because it happens so often. Is there anyway around this as zerg and some cases protoss in 2v2? These rushes wouldn't normaly be a problem in 1v1 but 2v2 and seperated spawns make this a nightmare to defend because we don't want to rush.

I would suggest you go and scout to see if they have a proxy and you can always turtle and wall in so they don't get in your base. Also train your opening builds so you can have you unit's out fast, if you create a game and search for "yabot" that is a custom map where you can train your build order and it shows your time how fast you do it....

Get a good wall off, use micro and your ramp to hold them off until your partner to get there. It is a shame that every 2v2 3v3 and 4v4 is full of people rushing. But come tomorrow you will get some relief since reapers and zealots are getting build times nerfed.

If you're a P&Z team your best bet is to have your Protoss buddy wall as best as he can while you apply some early pressure to the other team. The best way to stop a rush is to try hurt their economy early in the game and force them onto the defensive.

is that when the patch is supposedly coming out?
