I placed gold nova 4 in the ranks update. So I've only climbed 6 ranks in 3100 hours.

I wish I could tell how many hours I've actually played in mm, compared to goonman, which is easily a majority.

Ugh that makes me sick

I bet it doesn't exist in MM. I could see someone doing "good enough" at LEM/SMFC with a 360 controller.

I really, really want to see how a match of soley silver 1 would play out. I mean I'm pretty bad and so are all my Russian, Turkish and Polish matchmaking brethren, but extrapolating silver play from them. It's a scary thought. :ohdear:


(Fakeedit: I preemptively take note of the irony if I will indeed get placed in silver today after I finish the last two placement wins.)

Silver 2 was almost no mics, buy up every round, No nades because they are buying up every round, No spray control, triple awp buys and then all stand in the open in mid.

I guess the only way to be worse is no mics?

Also AWP battles against people who are truly Silver 1/2 are hilarious because their reaction time is so slow, when you hit a flick shot they are guaranteed to call hacks.

oh hey this is 80% of my solo MGE/DMG games. I played 3 MM games yesterday, the first one was good, comms on our team, non-retard buys, and our opponents were good, we won 16-14, I bottom fragged the first half, but came roaring back in the second and ended up top frag, bunch of clutches, good vibes all that poo poo.

The next game was a horrible affair, it was me and one other guy basically, the other 3 were worthless, didn't communicate, bought EVERY round, shotguns covering long of D2, poo poo like that. One guy left at round 3, if he hadn't left we would have won probably, or if the bots wouldn't randomly refuse my "guard this area" command we could have also probably won. Game ended like 16-13.

Last game was a total stomp as I was getting tired, we lost like 16-5, everyone was bad (including me) but again, dudes buying EVERY round just dumb poo poo, no head armor VS CTs with M4s and poo poo like that.

*EDIT* Also, I'm not saying I'm a CS god or something and I don't belong at my rank blah blah, and I'm not complaining, this is the poo poo you get when you don't queue with friends, and it does NOT change the higher up you get in ranks, it just becomes slightly less frequent.

I guess it's mostly just pubbies.txt but the horrendous reaction times and lack of any spray control definitely improves as you go up the ranks.

IMO pretty much anyone who gets to LEMish can get to global with a lucky win-streak. The skill difference between those two ranks seems pretty negligible.

The SG is the best gun in the game. It looks hot, makes other people mad, and you can get at least 30 kills just by buying it once.

I just started getting into this game and I think I screwed up the matchmaking. I won my first two competitive games, so it put me up against people who were Master Double Guardians or some bullshit like that. I got accused of being a smurf or troll the first match and kicked after a few minutes, then I managed to make it all the way through the next match but I had to listen to my teammates accusing me of throwing the match and making fun of my aim the whole time. Hoping it will send me back somewhere that people don't think I'm secretly sabotaging their games.

Same has been happening to me. MGs calling me rear end in a top hat in all eastern european dialects and kicking me before the end of the game. I know I suck, but I cant help being placed in these games...

Can anyone help me rememeber a game mode from source? I think they were called death race maps. All the CTS would have to run through this obstacle course while the single terrorist would push buttons to set off traps that would kill the cts with physics objects and fire. Cts would win if one person made it to the end alive. It was a ton of fun.

I played drunk for like, my first 700 hours played and got to LE. I deranked (temporarily) all the way to MGE when I started playing sober only.

I wonder at what point a 360 controller no longer becomes a viable option?

I'm poo poo at console FPSes and my 360 controller + no crosshair smurf still got placed in GN3. On the other hand, my left handed-mouse smurf is still getting silver games. Holy gently caress is left handed hard.

Stop coordinating and work on your aim/reaction time/ability to kill 2-3 people per round. Learn one smoke per site. Easy 2 ranks that's :10bux: advice

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I didnt watch that video about genetic skills or w/e but its true some people are just forever bad at games. It isn't as simple as playtime = skill. I know people with thousands of hours of CS who suck worse than new players with like 400 hours. Most people have a limit as to how good they can get, beyond which it's just form and being in practice.
