years of playing thousands of games lol but if you have already skills from other RTS and nice access to help, ofc can catch up. its very different then and now, back in old bw days it was the first RTS to involve that much skill and people started building that up overtime... now a lot of people are more skilled or have skills from other games better understanding of competition etc | ||

Depends, where are you at after 50 hours? And how many games did you actually play during that time? Could be around 100-200 games. | ||

More than scratching the surface is just not possible, not with the average that is set up by the current community of mostly very experienced players. In relation to about 99% of the people you play in BW, that's like a blink of an eye spent on the game, so no way you're good in relation to them. You might have gone through a dedicated mechanics-practice in that time, resulting in good macro mechanics and general unit-control. Or you played a bunch of different maps, resulting in good enough map-knowledge to play tournaments with standard map-pools. Or you played one matchup all the time with 1-2 build-orders, resulting in Or you played many different build-orders and styles in one matchup, resulting in good versatility in that matchup. Or you went through in-depth replay analysis and strategy/theory-studies, resulting in good game-knowledge. But you could never have done all that at once in 50 hours. And even if: Still you would be lacking experience, game-sense, mental stability (in the sense of: keeping on keeping on in the face of brutal defeats/cheese etc., not getting over-confident after 1-2 wins etc.). As others said, it also really depends on what you bring to the table in the first place. Of course an RTS-veteran could make much more happen in 50 hours than a total newbie, still BW will probably be a tough nut to crack even for good SC2 or else players after 50 hours. edit: should be mentioned though that after 50 hours, of course you can be much better than many, certainly than anyone who didn't put in 50 hours yet but also many who played the game for years very casually. | ||

This imo makes a strong case for the assumption that imbalance only affects the uppest 0,001%. However, it still shows quite some imbalance. Make the vult and irradiate 100 already ! ;-) | ||

But i don't think the game needs some new balance. | ||

Lots of players are known to do quite well on ladder because they play it substantially, and have a style that might work well on ladder, other people focus a bit more on scheduled practice matches, etc. Being number one on ladder doesnt make you the best player, we cant actually use it as a reference for imbalance. | ||
