I'm not great at the game but I'm playing with people who get their first and only kill in the 17th round. Is that just how Silver 4 is?

Yeah that happens a lot in silver. It's kinda aggravating when it's a complete toss up if you'll get good teammates or not, especially since (being in silver) we aren't generally good enough to carry.

Age is probably required to compete at the highest levels but at normal mortal levels of skill it probably doesn't matter.

So, fps_max. What's the deal with this? It's 300 by default, but I'm kind of thinking of dropping it down a bit for power consumption and heat reasons. Any reason not to do it?

So I was playing this competitive mode thing and the guys I was playing with thought I was trolling them by being awful and then saw my 7 hours played and felt bad. Why would I get thrown into a game with high ranking people like that?

So that the ranking system can rank you effectively. If it started you against lower ranks, that would screw you into being lower-ranked.

you're probably okay if you can have 150-ish steady.. as there's no big dips you're fine with 100+ and 150 gives you a nice buffer

your screen cant even output more than 60, 100, 120, 0r 144 depending on what you have, but its probably 60

Yeah, I have a 60Hz PLS monitor because 144Hz IPS/PLS monitors are really goddamn expensive and colour accuracy is more important to me for some of the stuff that I do than high refresh rates. I'll probably get a 144Hz IPS once they come down in price.

Doing an overwatch case with a clear aimbotter/wallhacker/bhop script user, but I'm not sure what happens at about 0:50 into the video. I've seen it in videos, and it's pretty clearly an aimbot. Are the hacks somehow spoofing where the gun is pointing? You'd think it would need to move the gun at the very least. (the massive FPS drops are caused by me alt-tabbing)

Ahhhh, it feels so good to finally be back to DMG.



Also, I do believe that is the very first shut-out I've had in MM. The only other one I've participated in was when Lou, Systane, Aww Yiss and I LAN'd a couple months ago, so it feels like I've finally gotten over the slump I was in for the past 6, 7 months.

Geez, sometimes this game gets too intense. 16-14, 15-15, 14-16 in a row. I am mentally exhausted.

I can only play three games at most in a row before I stop because it's just exhausting to be on point all the time. Third game I usually bottom frag and get carried if I'm lucky.

Yeah, three games in a set seems to be about my limit as well.

I got a bit carried away while warming up for the next couple of games, though..

I made Silver Elite Master a few weeks ago and I feel like I'll be stuck here for a while. It seems like there's a huge gap between here and the novas just in effective 'nade usage, positioning, and your opponents not doing stupid stuff. It doesn't help either that I can't awp to save my life. Game is hard.

As someone who just made GN1, the only thing keeping you from ranking up is the number of smurfs in your games. Keep at it, you'll get it.

I very rarely MM, cultivating in maybe three to five MM games per week. I mainly DM, ESEA, and goonman (don't play too many goonmans or else it makes you into a terrible player), but every once in a while if some friends/goons want to MM I'll oblige and join in. There was a solid year where I didn't even dare MM because I loathed it so much (64 tick, cheaters, pubbies with garbage attitudes, etc).

I was thinking the same thing, but last night a miracle happened.



Just keep at it. I've clawed my way from Silver 1 to this point.
