I completely understand this feeling, thought i learn to deal with it (I also got a little bit better at the game that helps), but imagine you go to play chess and you are ELO 500 or so, and you are playing people of your level and you lose one, two, three, four games and then you realize you are playing people that are 1500 ELO !!! but on 500 ELO account !!!. Chess .com actually bans those people go check it out.
I understand the frustration, is just not a enjoyable or “desirable” experience for sure. I dont believe that Blizzard intended for things to be like this, and if SCRM was more popular and with a bigger set of players i am sure they would take actions to mitigate it for sure (they already did the algorithm would work with more people).
The solution that i can think is that the community get the option to load BWAPI into the accounts for Remastered, let the community “create” an OFFLINE ladder of some sort, only for accounts that are logged in Remastered obviously (to avoid piracy), or hell Blizzard, make it a DLC i would pay… imagine playing progressively better bots offline until you are ready to go back to the slaugtherfest/frustrafest that is the Online Ladder… winning 4 games and the suddenly you lose all your points to someone that is smurfing with a new account and is actually a 2000 player and i am struggling to maintain B or A (Tho i got to be S once!! but never again ).
I knows that a lot of people that read this thinks that BWAPI will harm the game, i doubt it, i think people would like to train vs better and better computers offline, i think it would be an even better addition than team match making if you think about it, even for posterity as you could “downloads” a whole ladder of bots to play and train by different community designed bots. Bots will NEVER be or play like humans, but dont underestimate the capacity of humans, i can assure you that eventually bots will be created that could play almost human like, never will be the same, but that is the whole point, let the BWAPIcommunity drive itself, give that community new grounds to grow !!! AI is the future Blizzar!!! wakeup
This will never happen thought, Blizzard will never allow something like BWAPI because there is no real security for the software to be pirated, and the only solution is some sort of cloud folder tree (way to expenssive), how about some hash table and registration system in which each individual file HASH has to be uploaded that contain the Blizzard ID and the file, so if you want to load a Bwapi boat and you dont have an account though luck…it will just not work, also make the menu and system for BWAPI just accessible for people with Remastered, but again i think that Blizzard could benefit at this point on giving something “for free” to the community anyways.
It will never happen, Blizzard is a Chinese DEV company now, and there is no coming back. Long live Winnie the poo.
