Not much to say, the justifications for his 2-C rating are pretty awful to say the least. Well, at a glance they seem fine-ish, however a cursory investigation shows that they really fall apart. Let's look over each of the justifications for his feats.
-Removing the laws and restrictions of the universe. This isn't a destruction feat, so no. Doesn't justify his rating.
-Time Baby claiming he would rip all of existence if his rip into the dimension continued. Several problems with this justifying 2-C. First off, Time Baby was not at all saying that BC would literally destroy the universe, nor did he imply AP; perhaps, just perhaps he was referring to that his mere existence in a dimension causes it to destabilize itself over time due to chaos, as shown by the Nightmare Realm. Secondly, Time Baby's power is extremely hard to quantify, so we can't scale it to his own AP. Thirdly, there's a large possibility that Time Baby was overexaggerating or using hyperbole; he IS an actual baby in a lot of aspects after all, even if it clashes with his intelligence. I would not put it past him to be hyperbolic on how powerful BC is.
-Creating the Nightmare Dimension. Would be good justification, but there's nothing stating he created it. Or implying it.
-Ford acknowledging the threat Bill Cipher had to the wider multiverse. Okay, cool and all, except you realize that this doesn't relate to destruction at all; Ford never states nor implies that Bill Cipher is capable of destroying the universe/multiverse using sheer attack potency and was most likely referring to his various hax at hand, especially since a lot of the effects of Weirdmaggedon were from his residual existence in the realm. Him referring to his reality warping and chaos manipulation is MUCH more likely than sheer AP. Also add that Ford would have otherwise never seen a being even near Bill Cipher's power, so he would not have a good reference for this statement.
And....that's it! All of these justifications for 2-C are just awful and wrong. As a result of this, every single one of our beautiful Bill Cipher matches have to be undone as they're all worthless now. I'd suggest archiving them on his page (because there's a fuckload of them and I don't want to see those shit threads gone). As for his new tier, I would suggest 5-B via scaling to his Friends. Someone said he should be 4-B since he replaces the sun with himself in an animatic created by Alex Hirsch, but the canonicity of that is very questionable.
