Anon misses the RTS genre (sh.itjust.works)

RTS died when zoomers were like 5, nerd

True. There's a picture of me at five years old playing dawn of war

Wow, I didn't manage to kill a whole genre when I was 5. Some ants maybe, but not a genre.

StarCraft killed it by being too fucking good.

Pretty much. Blizzard supported the hell out of that game. Tweaked everything until it was perfect. At launch, it was as good as anything else at the time, but it wasn't knife-edge balanced like it became.

Modern Blizzard isn't capable of that anymore, and neither is anyone else. The genre can still innovate and provide perfectly good experiences otherwise, but it will always have this spectre of "not balanced like Starcraft" hanging over it.

I do not remember starcraft being perfectly balanced....

Grandmaster:

Protoss: 57%
Terran: 57%
Zerg: 55.2%

Masters 1:

Protoss: 52.7%.
Terran: 52.5%
Zerg: 51.9%

Masters 2:

Protoss: 51.2
Terran: 51.1
Zerg: 50.9

IDK, looks pretty balanced to me

Maybe because I only observe high level play.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Higher than Grandmaster and Master?
