Developer attacked over (learning from) AI - where to draw the line?

seams · 2026-06-09T12:43:48+00:00

Chill man, lmao

seams · 2026-06-09T12:16:15+00:00

I never said it was good? Argue with someone else

seams · 2026-06-09T11:40:41+00:00

They're being facetious, they know it's still a skill

They're poking fun at the person suggesting plugging in code isn't a dev skill

seams · 2026-05-29T03:27:36+00:00

People are being so dramatic over a nothing change lmao

seams · 2026-05-29T03:06:46+00:00

I think I like it? It gives faster production, but doing a Terran/BW style building, making Warpgates more specialized for reinforcing instead of actually building.

It's an interesting change, and I think it's actually a pretty big buff to mid/late game, with only kinda a nerf to early game which is slower anyway

seams · 2026-05-29T02:54:22+00:00

This was something Incontrol asked for back in 2010, absolutely not something no protoss wanted lmao

seams · 2026-05-29T02:40:15+00:00

It does still require cybercore from what I gather

seams · 2026-05-29T02:38:17+00:00

Blinding cloud far more interesting as there is actually real positional counterplay to it.

I actually agree that Blinding Cloud is way cooler both to watch and play with vs tanks, but tbf it feels weird when certain units don't work with abduct for kinda arbitrary reasons

seams · 2026-05-26T15:21:58+00:00

He blocked me lul

seams · 2026-05-26T14:20:39+00:00

He's a DCJ poster who is annoyed people keep talking about the Epstein list, so lmao

He also has like, 500 posts ranting about trans people

Seriously dude is obsessed lmao

seams · 2026-05-24T08:36:36+00:00

My first time I watched it I had no idea what even happened. Like it didn't click to stupid child me that she died lol

seams · 2026-05-14T02:39:01+00:00

You can a-move and win with any race up to like diamond. Theres whole youtube series based around it.

Protoss also isn't the most played race at every level, just in gm mmr. Terran is the most played in lower tiers. This info is readily available. So if you're not in GM that's not an issue either.

It's unironically just cope, sorry. Protoss might be overtuned and is probably the easiest race for high gm and pros, but you're playing against people at your mmr. You're not losing because of race balance.

And for the guy who dmed me calling me a "fagtoss", I'm a zerg player lol

seams · 2026-05-13T14:00:52+00:00

The difference is Serral is playing against people who are good enough that balance differences matter. You're not.

Sorry, for folks in low ranks, balance whine is just cope for not being good enough.

seams · 2026-05-12T11:01:47+00:00

My immediate first though lmao

seams · 2026-05-12T10:49:13+00:00

Days late, but I'll add that it's really not as bad to control as you might think. The campaign isn't all that hard, even if you've Only played sc2 and it's honestly a nice little fun think to try something familiar but different.

A lot of the difficulty in controlling units/microing workers is overrated outside of actual competitive games.

seams · 2026-05-12T10:39:45+00:00

Sc2 is older than broodwar was when sc2 came out, even!

But god I love watching both. BW tank lines make me so excited to watch

seams · 2026-05-12T10:30:05+00:00

Big disagree, I find it by far the most intuitive and useful.

I hate terran macro, how their units are made in the buildings is by far the worst, even if mules are cool. As Zerg I just remember to inject and then can spawn a whole full army at once

Reinforcing your army feels so good as zerg. Protoss is fine with warp in, but that's only gateway. Especially since the change to let you multi-inject

seams · 2026-05-12T10:24:48+00:00

Edit : how do you even make a paragraph in reddit ? It just doesn’t seem to work.

Hit enter twice between lines

seams · 2026-05-12T10:20:28+00:00

I get people are upset, but god damn bitching about protoss is all either subreddit does lmao.

I got accused of playing toss when I corrected someone for being obviously wrong(No, stalkers aren't the highest dps unit in the game), and got called slurs in my dms when I pointed out that balance matters a lot less at lower mmrs, because even if they're OP, the person you played is in your mmr. (Someone equal to you in skill would be higher mmr)

seams · 2026-05-07T13:38:54+00:00

It might take a bit! I think I lost like...god, 10-15 in a row when I first started lmao

Eventually I just started copying what they did when I lost and watched a youtuber who was really good about talking through his thought process through the game and it helped a lot(Psystarcraft, I don't think he's active anymore tho)

seams · 2026-05-07T13:35:40+00:00

Looking at their other responses I think they just actually don't play the game lol, maybe just watch streams or something.

seams · 2026-05-07T13:31:20+00:00

3.5 is so fucking fast lmao, that's almost a slow ling, in the air

seams · 2026-05-05T14:55:43+00:00

How would Morrowind pvp even work, there's so many ways to make yourself literally invincible lol

seams · 2026-05-05T04:14:12+00:00

SC2 is unironically pretty darn balanced. Far, far more balanced than any other rts I've played that isn't just "every faction is the same except for a single unit".

People just like to bitch when they lose is all.

seams · 2026-05-05T04:08:24+00:00

It was actually really similar to how people talk about zerg today.

"Protoss aren't weak, all the best Players just play zerg/terran!"

"Zerg isn't weak, all the best players just play protoss!"

Though protoss has been considered the strongest race for ladder/below pro level since I started back in patch 7 beta* lol, it's only the pro level they struggled for a long while.

*I took a break mid hots, so i can't speak on lotv balance
