I don't think I played any matches with you lot prior to Goonmanning. I just remember a lot of random pubs and listen servers, and that ELGRUNTOX guy trying to get us to play Source and everyone laughing at him.

Deagle pre-nerf outshot the AWP in 100% of cases, which would be really nice to have again if they could make the deagle viable at range without making it the 2 shot spray wonder.

Swap them out for the sawed off and MAG7, pos guns. Why does a sawed off have a fuckhuge movement penalty and why does the semi auto magfed shottie have such low rof?

I actually hate guns in real life. :iiam: I just have experience with them due to being in the military. Also, if you say gun you do pushups. Guns are for killing animals and target shooting, weapons are for killing humans.

Is it normal for people to rage when you smoke off upper B tunnels as CT? Cause some guy who kept buying a Bizon every round and trying to hold B with it flipped his poo poo when I did that last night. I thought that was a pretty standard play, especially where I'm at in Nova MM where the Ts will still pretty often rush right through it to get mowed down.

Oh gently caress, I just remembered that I almost had an ace but some rear end in a top hat finished off the last dude and got the kill credit.

Check the damage log... 99 in 2.

I mean, I'm used to whoever's on the bottom being the loudest telling everyone how to play all the time. It's just weird when the whole team agrees with him and says yeah, don't do that. Maybe I'm just insecure from sucking so much. Still worth the match though to listen to one guy complain nonstop for an entire half.

Yeah it happens. There's a (former, now?) pro player in the UK called onscreen who used to let people pay him, and they'd be allowed into MM with him and his other pro buddies so they could get to global elite.

I'm too busy philosophizing to get up
While in some MG1 soloqueue yesterday, I had something new happen. My team was getting really hammered by the T's on Dust 2. Primarily, they were being carried by 1 guy in particular. He was making some pretty great plays, so as per the usual, my team began calling bullshit on him, saying to report him, etc etc. Now of course, this is something that I tend to hear every MM game when a player on the opposing team is doing exceedingly well.

The opposing team starts to talk a lot of poo poo, and at the half, they were in to it. Until their leader got a VAC ban for hacking early in the second. I didn't know that reporting a player could work so quickly. The tides turned, but the score was already run up so much that we ended up losing 16/14. Still, definitely interesting. And watching the demo, it became fairly obvious he was using walls.

The timing of the ban was just coincidental and had nothing to do with your reports.

How much would it take to put a hit on Mike Green. Seeing him lazily float around live in person was maddening. I heckled him more than Crosby much to the amusement of the Pens fans surrounding us. Halak too. poo poo team is poo poo.

VAC bans do not work on reports. The report function in CS:GO sends players to be reviewed by Overwatch (or by the CS:GO development team maybe in some cases?) but VAC is an automated system that runs independently of a reporting function, so as astro said, it was purely coincidental.

Is overwatching only for hacking, or do people get banned for bad manners like in dotalike games? My silver friends and I have been playing with a DMG friend, and he's getting 40-50 kills most games whether we win or lose. He's getting so many serious hacking accusations and reports that I wonder if we should stop doing this before he gets banned.

There's a Griefing report, and I believe Overwatchers can answer Guilty for Griefing reports (though they can't even hear voice chat, so who the hell knows how worth it that even is). That said, the theory behind overwatch is the best method of detecting a cheater is the human eye, so if your friend isn't cheating and is just that much better than the opponents he's playing, Overwatch, again in theory, should find him innocent.
