Thanks to Valve's really stupid change to matchmaking, it's possible that some of those people made new accounts so they could play MM with their lower ranked friends. I've seen this more than a few times in MM and I have no idea why Valve thought it was necessary to restrict queueing based on rank.

I don't think it's possible to quickly and consistently arrange a good game of CS:GO when one team queues 4 silvers and 1 MGE or whatever. No matter what kind of team you match them up against it won't be a sensible match where everyone gets to play normally.

edit: I'll shut up now, I've dragged this out long enough.

double edit: I also apparently don't understand the restrictions on queueing. Now that I know what they are I agree that they don't make sense.

Why do they still allow us to queue up 4 silvers and an 1 MGE, though? Since the MM limit only applies to groups of 4 or less, it seems like they are worried about the experience the fifth man is going to have, not the other team.

Sorry if it seemed like I abandoned the Overpass match tonight, I said that I was going to restart CS and then was ... uhh permanently subbed I guess. I've been having a lot of framerate issues that get progressively worse as the game goes on, someone suggested that its a memory leak issue inherent to CS? It always gets worse at the perfect moments, too. Oh hey, wanna click that head? Let me go ahead and drop down to 20fps for you, I'm sure that'll help.

It's an issue unique to sub.io/buttman. Don't worry, a lot of people get it.

I get it also.

To avoid it, when the map changes from whatever aim map sub.io is on when teams are made, quit the game and close all CSGO processes before starting it back up and joining for the goonman. It'll save your spot.

the two times i tried playing on sub.io i had this problem. will no one get angry if i try this solution the next time i'm on?

Noone will even know you did it, you just leave before the new map even loads in and do what I said, then join the game. It doesn't take long at all and you'll probably still be waiting for someone to ready up.

I want to preface this by saying that I in no way think I am good at this game.

It seems to me that when I play esea or goonpugs I generally come in at about 2nd-3rd on my team and people like Ephedra and the like drop 25-30 and I consider that a dominant performance. However, whenever I go into an MM match with MG/E's they're dropping 25 at half like its no big deal while running around like idiots. Now I don't like to blame cheating on every player I play against, but it seems like literally every game unless I have an amazing game of 25-30 kills there's just no winning consistently because some dude on one of the teams is dropping 40.

Maybe its smurfs, or maybe you're just reaching point where you've ranked to your skill level right now?

I used to play alot with friends who were GN1-3. I got ranked at GN1 and floated between GN2 and 4 for as long as I played with them. I would perform very well most games but then those friends stopped playing the game as much, so I solo queued. I got up to MG1 and stayed there, and I stopped consistently top fragging. That was about 6 months ago, since then I've been playing goonmans, taking advice off of here and started to play with a bunch of friends who are ranked GN3-MGE. My rank is now MGE and I feel like I am nearing my skill limit. Its not often that I top frag, and when I do its usually by a small margin. I might make DMG but as it stands, I don't really feel myself being able to get past there unless I up my game somehow.

In a goonmans I also often find myself in the middle of the pack, so if you're MGE too then I guess we are both around that skill level as we seem to get similar results and it seems to correlate.

Have you tried the Aim Botz map? I did that last night for the first time and knocked out 300 AK kills in a session. I felt like an AK spray god by the end of it, which is something I know I lack against my DMG buddy. I'm not as good as him but I guess with practice it will come.

I'm just going to sound like a turd saying this stuff but oh well...

Yes it could be smurfs (I still consider MGE/DMGish to be smurfing). Also people at that level of MG1-DMG are wildly inconsistent. They aren't well rounded players. They sometimes have very good aim but lack everything else that CS required. I can say that of my buddy who is an MGE. Great aim poo poo everything else. People at that level still full on charge through smoke like it doesn't matter.He mainly solo queued up to MGE and when I play with him I'm on my MGE/DMG smurf. I'm still able to drop 30+ most games. I'm pretty sure we just lost one 14-16 where I had 42 kills. So Smurf definitely possible or just CSGO at that level... Or any level really anyone can go off.

same here, i keep bouncing up and down mg2 and mge, and i think once i reach dmg i'll peak, which kinda sucks, but its the same thing i said about mg2 so.
