Also Inferno getting removed was a foregone conclusion (it was hinted at in the game files) so why are y'all so surprised? Good riddance to that garbage map.

Honestly though the prime upgrade is a thing I've been waiting for like 2 years and I'm glad they finally implemented something to restrict MM queue, although I have no idea what took them so long to do it.

I imagine they were waiting for a certain % of people to have prime eligible accounts, otherwise one or both of the MM queues is going to suck.

Inferno will always be a good map, but it always feels slightly off in CS:GO so maybe they will tweak it and it will be better again.

I haven't played Tiny Nuke in Competitive, but it is most definitely a terrible map for Casual, all of the big-map things that made Nuke fun with a lot of people are now small-map things that make it really annoying.

Even though I'm all mobile authenticated and stuff, my super cheapo budget phone number doesn't qualify, bleh. I guess it makes sense they want to keep the barrier to entry from being too low, but it's rather unfortunate to mean I'll be in the worse queue.

Perps were uncooperative.


I wonder if prime accounts will only queue with other prime accounts. They mentioned priority so, I assume it'll fill up the MM with as many primes as it can find then fall back on non-primes. Hopefully they add some way to publicly identify a prime account either on the scoreboard with an icon, or on the profile.

I like the concept and have a feeling it could definitely improve the quality of gameplay.

I don't really see this curbing the dedicated cheaters but hopefully it will cut down on the overall numbers. Another possible side benefit is it might cut down on the number of Russians I have to play MM with.

If there's one thing Valve is known for it's moving extremely quickly so I think this is likely.

I've been playing with more SA people lately (apparently their servers got shut down?) and most are... Not great. Some of them are good players/teammates though, just like NA I guess

Edit:
SA := South America
Also it seems the General csgo population is pretty racist unless you shame them, then they tend to relax on it.

I don't know about you but as soon as I opted into prime this morning, the displayed average queue time for all maps (even D2) jumped up to like 2-3 minutes for me. I didn't actually queue yet but it looked like it put me in a smaller pool? Idk

I signed up for it last night and I queued 4-5 games, and most games I got within under 1 minute. Which is odd considering I was playing 2am-6am CST, generally I end up waiting 3-4 minutes at some point.

gently caress.....

I just saw an impressive level of trolling. These 2 guys in a comp match got someone banned for team kill on round 2 by shooting each other to near death then standing on their decoy grenade (I forgot what happened in the first round), we're all like "what the gently caress?"

So we try to keep playing after getting a bot, and we're doing pretty well, and they called for a molly on tunnels, so i tossed one and they both died cause they were nearly dead, I just laughed thinking it was a goof.

Next time I threw a molly one of them ran right onto it and died and i got kicked, and I finally realized what the gently caress they were doing, I can't even be mad, it's too funny lol.

From a while back but report these dicks for griefing in the future. People who pull this poo poo annotation the hell out of me.

I also didn't realize that reporting people for griefing actually ended up in overwatch stuff. Out of the 3 overwatch things I did last night, 1 of them was someone obviously reported for griefing.

Nothing can reduce the number of Russians in matchmaking. Even if you banned all connections from Russian IP addresses, they would still find a way in.

I figured I would do my due diligence since I'm given the option now, but yeah it was dumb, the first 2 were hackusations and the guys were awful, but went like 24-3, must have been silver level poo poo from the looks of it. Both of those were boring, no crazy poo poo except 1 headshot through the smoke with an awp. The 3rd was a griefer that basically afk'd in spawn and moved every so often so he didn't get kicked, it was boring and I just alt-tabbed away after 2 rounds.

I've had a waller or two, and I think a triggerbot, but 95% of the time it's either griefing or someone playing well.

trigger bot seems hard to conclude since you're watching a 32tick recording. Smoke/flash doesn't show up correctly and sometimes things are moving too fast for what you're watching. Walls/aimbot would generally be pretty easy to see though imo, although I have done a lot of "overwatching" for servers that I admined back in original CS

Generally speaking people don't just triggerbot when they cheat and when they do triggerbot only they usually aren't particularly fluid. It's gonna be impossible to get 100% positive ids but I think you'll know when somebody is cheating usually.
