Can someone help me write a bind cause I'm dumb? I want "x" to toggle "y" which is noclip or lookatweapon. So when I press x, y is noclip and when I press x again, y is lookatweapon.

fennesz posted:I'll stop you right there. I literally play on my couch. I keep forgetting that and, all things considered, I think I'm half decent. I'm just going to be worse than everyone else with a loving desk and a mousepad Playing on a couch isn't the worst thing, I practically learned to play CS1.2-1.4 on a couch or lazyboy chair, depending on where my pc was set up that week. If you have a wide arm to the couch, use that as your mouse surface, otherwise if you can comfortably fit a small table on the side, or anything to lift your hand up a bit so it's not on the seat of the couch. I was getting even K/D on the public servers of X3(lost to NiP in finals that year) playing on my couch. It's doable, just different. Also, people talk about playing against better players makes you better, and that is so true. Back when I first played on that X3 server I didn't get a kill for like a week, and I was good on the server I played before that. After I was able to go even on that server, I went back to my old server, went 80-2 and got banned for hacking lol.

Who at valve thinks allowing all-voice-chat during the middle of a match is a good idea? Its gotten to the point where I just take my headset off at the end of the 15th match.  Also why aren't all these kids in school?

UltraVariant posted:If you think so. It has nothing to do with whether I think you are good or bad. The way matchmaking works is that everyone should have roughly a 50% win rate at their "proper" rank. If you win enough that your win rate trends >50% you will go up in rank. If it trends down <50% you will derank. If you are not winning a majority of your games you won't rank up. Just because you top frag in a game or two or even 3 doesn't mean you are underranked.

UltraVariant posted:Is this how the system works? I always thought it along with final scores it also encompassed things such as individual K:D and MVPs. No one actually knows what individual stats valve uses in their matchmaking system, or how much of an effect they even have on the system. But match wins/losses have the most consistent impact on it.

What if you end every game with every MVP and 50 frags? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Depending upon the ranking algorithm it probably also takes rank into account, so beating a silver-1 wouldn't help you rank up, while losing to a gold nova wouldn't necessarily bump you down. (Assuming matchmaking can't find people around your rank, but usually there's a range and sometimes its worse than othertimes) Course then you get into scoring teams vs individuals. I like that CS GO waits until it sees you win a certain number of matches to initially rank you. Seeing you lose doesn't necessarily say as much as how you do when you're on a winning team. If you pushed ahead in kills or if you were carried. Still, consistent wins up, consistent losses down, 50/50 you're at where you should be.

Hey, UltraVariant, go pick a replay where you think you played well and the match ended in a relatively even score and post it here. Actually  all of my CS:GOon bros, pick a demo as well because Christmas time is here and I'm gonna give you guys good cs advice* as a Christmas present*Disclaimer: Might not actually be good advice, and also like all my other projects this is gonna flame out so be the first (and only) few people who gets a demo review from me!
