God drat I am a terrible aimer, and every time I try to practice a mechanic (recoil control, aim for head, move crosshair and then shoot, etc.) I always forget something else and just get frustrated at myself when I gently caress up. I hate myself for this.

I should just stick with analyzing pro CS.

idk how bad you are, but if you play half as often as I see you post in this thread then you should be alright.

You're probably overthinking it tbh. just play a lot.

Okay like, when Karrigan killed all those guys coming out of monster onto B just now, how the gently caress does he do that against pro players? He wasn't getting nasty AK headshots, he just sprayed them down with an M4A1 and each kill wasn't all that quick. But when I'm in a similar situation, I kill maybe one guy before getting running one tapped by one of the nobodies I'm playing against.

Is that the one where they all lined up for him to roll over? It could be because of hesitation to shoot through the other teammates which a pug group would probably not have.

I don't think they really lined up, it seemed like they had chances to get the trade kill. But they just...didn't, and Karrigan stood by pillar and sprayed them down one by one as they entered B. Maybe they were flashed or something. I could also just be annoyed at how I haven't done well lately.

Does anyone else notice how if you have a great day or two of matchmaking that you'll get matched with progressively more and more stupid teammates against more and more competent players? Because that pisses me off. It happens a lot in Dota 2 as well. I mean, I can only carry so much before I check the scoreboard and realize I'm the only one with more than 10 kills going into the second half.

Matchmaking would be fine for me but I get a lot of matches with super shady people, that's not matchmakings fault its just vac not doing its job. The smurf situation is a million times better than what it was before the experience point system. It still happens but its a long way from every loving game.

My last three games at MGE were actually pretty well matched, 16-14, 16-14 and 14-16. People have been cooperating and poo poo, it was nice

I did not appreciate losing 14-16 after being up 14-10 though. :doh:

if you want to avoid the worst people on earth just don't queue dust2, on the weekends, before 11pm local time, after 1am local time, any non-standard map, immediately after losing a game, after a sale, during a school break, or ever

My girlfriend is trying to get her 10 wins and seems to be ranked S4~SE atm (judging by the people she plays with/against). I watched her play a game today, it's a loving cesspool. The worst part is that as an absolute noob, it's really hard for her to learn the game because loving silvers with 700 hours played (seriously, I checked) kick her if she doesn't clutch a round 1v3. From what I've seen, most of her games have like 1-3 actual noobs and the rest of them are people who are just really loving bad at the game (as in, they're still in Silver after 300~700h played) but think they're hot poo poo for some reason.

She's taking it in stride though, getting yelled at by 13-year-old Russians is basically a rite of passage in CSGO.

And it doesn't matter if you're King poo poo top fragging by 30 points ahead of the second best when the rest of your team dies and it's 1v5. All that matters for advancing rank is getting that game win at 16 match wins. Even if you've won several games, if you lose, it's back to deranking you go! :smithicide:

Silvers are either Limbo or between the Fifth (Anger) and Ninth (Betrayal) Circles of Hell, depending on your teammates. You keep working on your penitence, but you're always stuck in Hell because your brain-dead teammates keep dragging you back down to Hell to stay with them forever.

I got my 10th win on my second account (which I got for learning new maps and poo poo) today. I ended up on MG1 and even in those few games (10-2-3 or something), the difference in gameplay/teamwork/general asshattery going from Silver to Nova to MG was insane. I still believe it's possible to soloqueue your way out of Silver/Nova, but I can definitely see how you can get stuck in there if you're only slightly better than average at your rank.
