I was person #1 and it was all a misunderstanding. Cole said "hey don't just rush into B, you are going to get owned by Prost" every round but I could tell by the tone of his voice that he meant "just rush into B enough times and you'll totally get him."

Subtext.
The worst part about it was the discussion that happened just before that round. "Prost has been playing close to tunnels every round, usually with a shotgun, that's why he keeps getting a double kill." "I know! Let's just rush into B!"

It was literally the worst possible move, I recognized that fact intellectually, and I did it anyway. Repeatedly and with no success.

That's pretty much a good representation of my life in general.

Check out this awesome match making job! Queued with 2 friends (silver elite and nova I) and this is what we got.



The unranked guy and the other Nova II kept pushing instead of staying in sites early on and neither one of them had any concept of the economy and wouldn't listen to any advice. Pretty much just started screwing around and rushing with them after it became clear we were going to get worked.

My faith in the CS community has been restored. Was playing casual with a friend and managed to convince the entire server we should play knives only. Then no-scope scout knives. Then tazer knives. For like 25 rounds. Everyone who played followed along and was down to kick anyone who didn't. Apparently we kicked on guys friend who wasn't following the rules and he got defriended, but who needs friends like that anyways.

I usually queue with those two friends (sometimes a fourth who also wavers between Silver Elite Master and Nova I) and overall it's been pretty fair. That was by far the worst balancing I've seen since getting into matchmaking with GO though. They didn't strike me as a group of friends queued together but I can't imagine how else that group would have been assembled lol.

That is definitely a group. It looks like they have that Silver 1 guy that pulls the average rank way down, allowing them to get matched into your stack of Nova 2's.

I just got into this game and I'm having some good fun, but I'm stuck in silver because my aim with a rifle is pretty bad. If I can manage to make it through the pistol round and get an AWP I'm usually good to go and start making some sick clutch plays, which are especially fun because in Silver using sniper rifles is "cheating" and the enemy team will start raising hell in allchat asking my team to kick me.

Where in silver are you? I thought I was getting better but I'm still stuck at Silver IV. I certainly am seeing a different experience than you though, the only guns I see people buy at AK/m4/AWP/P90 and there's certainly teamwork going on.

They were playing like double ak level if that helps. We were wondering 'how did we get matched with double ak players' until we saw the ranks and then we were like :cmon:.

Fix your DPI and sensitivity and learn how to use the AK and M4 or you will be poo poo forever. You're not gonna get an AWP that often against people who can actually shoot.

I'm pretty sure you find way more suspicious players in hostage maps than you do in defuse maps.

Nitr0 posted:

Why do you say that.

Judging from experiences I and friends have had, comparatively, there's a much higher ratio of suspicious stuff going on in hostie maps than defuse maps during matchmaking, solo and in groups. Why that is, I have no clue. Just been our collective experience.

No way. Sell it and buy a normal Asiimov. It's so garish and obnoxious and...glorious. This is what weapon skins are for!

You're playing on Assault, a map that doesn't get queued very often. Those players probably got to the high ranks soley through queueing as a group on unplayed maps hoping to get low tier players. That's why they probably weren't that good.

Welp, looks like my luck ran out with solo queiing. Got into a game on dust2 where I spent the first four or five rounds as the only person on my team with a kill, with teammates that would frequently give up long A and cat and a dude in B who literally never smoked/flashed/fire bombed tunnel. Things didn't get better when we switched to T-side, as they would just run up to DD at A or into B tunnels and would sit for the entire round and get picked up by peeking awpers one by one.

On top of all the stupid poo poo, the game ends and it turns out they were all the same rank as me. :ughh: (opposite team had some eagles and higher ranked dudes mixed in IIRC, and one dude nearly thirty bombed with 12 deaths or so, he didn't even die until the 8th round)

I can't complain too much because most of my solo queue matches have been pretty good and I've been DMG since about 20 wins or so but god drat how those guys were above even low novas was beyond me. I don't mind losing when the games are back and forth or people are just having fun but holy poo poo when your team is loving brain dead the good vibes go away fast as hell.
