Imo changing the minimap so you see the whole thing at once is the most important change you can make from the console. It made a way bigger difference to me than all the other crap people tell you to adjust, including the crosshair.

Jumping in on auto cfg chat: Whats the command to turn of switching to a gun when you pick it up. I always have to turn that off manually every time I reload the game and it's annoying.

Workout was actually a pretty decent map the few times I played it. All the rounds were really dynamic and there was no place where you were truly 'safe' unlike a lot of hostage maps. CTs had to be aggressive and move quickly to take advantage of any holes they opened and to prevent being surrounded while Ts had to constantly be reacting to the CTs pressure. Sure there were ridiculously huge firing lanes but snipers could never hold them down for more than a shot or two as they were always exposed. Insertion was a ton of fun too and I want it to be an official map

Just keep playing the map? You can still play on them right? It's just not restricted due to the event being over.

i don't know, but its a popular strategy for some MM try-hards - pick an unpopular map, then queue it with a stack over and over and over to rank up. the idea is that if you have 5 that play really well on a map, especially a map that nobody really knows that well, you'll win more.

No it's done and they're gone, unless the map is decided to carry on (such as Cache or Overpass).

If you queue as a 5 stack, it seems to match you against the one of you with the highest rank. So they were probably a 5 stack with one being a ~GN3, rest silvers.

One of the reasons why smurfing is so common these days. If you're like DMG and your friends are silver/gold nova, you'll just get owned if you queue together because it'll match you against 5 DMGs.

Every player has a rank for matchmaking purposes, it's just not visible before 10 wins.

Enemy team has a bot, so whoever was in that spot could have been Nova.

Also like others have said, unranked players do have a rank, it's just hidden.

This is why I smurf more than I play on my main account. I don't play solo, and when I do play I'm playing with friends who are all low novas. It simply wouldn't be fun for them to play with me on my normal account.

...this is wrong lol

I just queue'd up 5-stack the other day and it average'd the ranks between me and my buddies and we fought a team of what the average was.

I used to queue with two Silver 2s, a Silver 1, a Nova 1 and a Nova 3 and every enemy team had Novas 2, every time. Eventually they just gave up and stopped playing with us.

I agree that its wrong. I think it just gives your "Average" or whatever a little bump. Definitely there is a bump upwards involved if you 5-stack. Usually what I see is that we'll queue with 4 MGIIs and 1 LEM and we'll play all MGIs who go 16-0 against us and we have like 4 kills combined on our team.

I think it's been said that they don't average the ranks. Instead they add the elo scores together, and then try to find a team with similar elo score added together. It has the effect of pushing the ranks up a bit when you queue together.

So if a DMG and a silver IV queued together, you'd expect the average to be nova 3-4ish. But using the points instead you'd likely be playing against a bunch of mg1-2s.


Don't have any official source for this though, so it could be wrong.

What you just described is exactly the same thing as averaging one teams elo and matching them against another team with the same average elo...

There's a difference between averaging the rank and averaging the elo. I don't know why I didn't just say that instead.
