Your "reasoning" is actually a false perception. It doesn't make these mistakes and tries strategies that seem improbable to human players.
A 50% win rate against the Insane AI is very good, as at the higher AI levels the computer actually cheats (no fog of war, more resources, etc).
- vkou 8y agoA moderately skilled human player will be able to beat the insane AI ~100% of the time. The AI cheats, but is also incredibly predictible, and bad at decision-making.
- cowmoo728 8y agoAs a moderately skilled human player myself, I developed a foolproof cheese strategy for defeating insane AI. They go crazy if you attack their worker line and recall every attacking unit that's not currently engaged. I played terran and built a single supply depot in the middle of the map to give me enough advance warning when they were coming to attack me, and then dropped 2-3 marines behind their minerals to stall them. If you do this long enough you can build a virtually undefeatable siege tank army that the AI would simply smash its face into, and then corral them to 2 or 3 bases. They would always run out of minerals while I expanded everywhere and slowly inched tanks forward. Doing this same strategy against humans got me to about gold tier in the early days of sc2.
- skocznymroczny 8y agoit's more simple than that, just play Protoss and cannon rush the AI.

- cjbprime 8y agoEven a below average one: it's normal to belong in bronze league (~5th percentile) if you beat the AI on every level and then start playing other humans. The AI is not a serious opponent.
- maaanu 8y agoI had a super simple rule-based, which had about 80% win rate against a 'Insane AI' (depending on the starting position..) - 50% is so not impressive.
