I can't get into overpass. Maybe it's because I haven't played it enough but it seems like arch is such a crap shoot.

Replace overpass with cache and arch with mid and I feel the same way

I don't play cache enough and I hate it because of it cause I'm awful

When we were playing our goon tourney game on Mirage the other night I had been practicing T spawn folks on a local server the night before, but when playing on buttmen I missed literally every single attempt at smoking connector and nest from T spawn. Someone mentioned this may be because local servers are 64 tick and buttmen is 128. Why the gently caress is this a thing and is there some general rule about how I should adjust throwing? I really would like to avoid having to memorize two different sets of smokes depending on if I'm playing a goonman or MM

Only jump throws change between 64/128. Aim lower on 128 and don't play MM.

jumping in general is one of the things that changes between 128 and 64. difficult jumps are easier to hit on 128.

why

if you're running toward the edge of a ledge, you have '64 more ticks' for the server to think you're still on the ledge/surface/whatever. since most jumps are only difficult because people have a hard time jumping at the very last second(i.e nuke silo jump, if you jump late enough you don't even need to airstrafe) this makes a noticeable difference.

What this sausage party needs is a big dollop of ketchup! Too bad I didn't make any. :(

Saw that nuke is apparently out of the active duty maps, and it reminded me that I have no idea what that means. Does that even effect competitive at all? The two map groups sort of seem irrelevant unless you play deathmatch/casual/etc.

Longer queue times, and you're going to be matched against other weirdos who are going out of their way to play nuke.

Found you have to go alone
Whenever you play against Xen, just type "His name is Robert Paulson" into chat, and spin around in spawn 10 times at the start of a round.

If you do, Xen's ping will go up by 10% each time.

I know no-one talks about the casual mode in this thread... but why are the rounds so long? 3 minutes is insane. Like if I want to play a couple of quick rounds and don't have the time for a MM match, casual is basically the worst option.

Are you not aware of the casual competitive servers from the server browser, or are you just pointing out how much regular casual sucks?

Accuracy isn't the problem with pistols, it's their insane headshot damage.

I'm honestly gonna be kinda bummed when the tec-9 nerf comes in. Sometimes I will buy it as a primary the first four or five rounds on T side regardless if we are winning or losing.

That is true, but it doesn't in any way excuse the awful casual mode. Also half the time I play on 5v5 community servers someone will drop out and it will be a good 3-4 rounds before someone joins the server and fills the spot, which is pretty lame and sometimes spells an exodus from the server. The drop-in drop-out feature works way better for everyone when players can just hit the "find match" button and get put in a server within 10-11 seconds.

I just don't get why Valve have left the casual mode as is. Just making the rounds 2:00--2:15 long would improve the game mode immensely.

I was thinking about the tec9 in particular. But I agree the hs distance needs fixing as well. Its first shot running is as accurate as the famas is standing still, or drat near it. Its broken. And its not just being butthurt from ct side, it makes t side economy way less interesting.

We complain about all these issues, but Valve see exponential growth in player figures and the skins are a money making GBS threads machine. Maybe they'll never fix this stuff.

I'm not as good as the tec-9 is but I hope they don't notice the 5-7.

Getting a USP ace on round 1 sets a really good tone for the rest of the match ITPO.
