i played a lot 1v1 ladder back in time. its the supreme discipline and i loved it. i stopped it someday for a very banal reason. i was getting slower and slower. the age u know. so it wasnt anymore about strategy it starts to get all about execution.

How viable would it be to have AI opponents at low mmr levels on ladder?

why in the world would u have ai's on ladder? in a ladder? the whole existence is to compare yourself with other human beings.

go further and let an ai play for u against an ai. so u have no stress anymore.
welcome to robowars.

that "fear" what ever that is, u have in every competative game. Like someone here said. its an ego thing. uhhh what if i lose? then i am worthless or what. i lost so many games and i just get pissed if did something very stupid.

Main draw of using ai for ladder is in the case that people can’t get a game at lower levels. You only have so much to make a decent impression and if somebody thinks ladder is super dead they might just give up on the idea of queueing entirely. An ai matchup in such cases would be an additional variable in the everpresent question of “no game” vs “a game.” Since lower rated (500ish) players play about as well as some of the best faf AIs, it doesn’t really seem like a waste of their time if you put yourself in their shoes as a guy looking for a quick, engaging game.

i understand that. but anyway filling the ladder with ai to make it more viable seems the wrong way. there r many reasons above u can work on. mappool. presenting ladder more fun. it has to be places on the startscreen. faf generally is so depressend designed. make it fun, make it futuric. name some ladderplayers. give them avatars. let them archive something. and the most "i quit ladder" rteason is for sure the behavior. no glhf no gg. absolute basic stuff in online gaming.

Age not really playing into the equation here.

say that again when u get 40

i'm 42. so every game is some kind of a derust game

first things first.. thx for the work guys.

maybe i need more games to get used to the new patch. 90 % is great and make sence. but messing with the buildpower means u lose every feeling for timings. its not like u make diffent things with old tools. its more that u have diffrent tool now. i am not a fan of that.

Do they changed anything ?
Normaly if i support my shields with hives they recharge fast till the energy is full restored. (if u have the recources) Now its a strange behavour. They recharge just till 70 % or so. or they dont recharge till u klick again and then it jumps from 40 to 80 % for example.

Is that just me ?

I had that serveral games but i ignored it. but now it starts to nerv.

well i am a gapplayer. this map shows u what is imba. is gap balanced is everthing else also balanced.

Besides the Chat u can writes Notes on the map via the white cross.
Is there a possiblitity to see who that writes ?
I got insulted via that.

To me it all sounds like they are thirsty for investor money and that’s why they are focusing so hard on the marketing department

i guess chris tylor wished he did it in this way.
well we will c

maybe it has something do to with supreme economy 2.3 ?
