I wasn't saying this, I was just complaining about the frustrating things people do often despite me asking them not to, and the general toxicity of the CS community. Please do not misquote me when trolling in the future, it is quite rude. TIA.

CS is not special when it comes to online multiplayer communities. There are some dicks and but most people are nice and or don't care

why should anyone listen to you, it's a game they can do what they want

If you are solo queuing your rank is dependent on what level you can carry a team to, just how it is

Well well, this is a tournament of (Bo1) upsets so far. Looks like even Liquid will be able to beat NiP.

I've been on the receiving end (aka some dude on enemy team could see through smoke) and the giving end (I was able to see through smoke), it happens in MM, although it's been a few weeks now.

It is a team game, with both a competitive, and a casual, game mode. I do not think it is wrong to hope for people to play the competitive mode in a way which respects their teammates and attempts to give them what they need to play in a competitive manner. I also do not think it is wrong to hope for other people to not be assholes in a more general sense. :shrug:

It's not wrong it is just naive. Match making is barely a team game, it's more like 5 individuals who want kills, sometimes that means they work together and sometimes it doesn't.

You are going to rage if you expect anyone to help you in competitive, just hope your teammate acts as a canary and use your sound since they aren't always good canaries

I don't expect it, I just hope for it. I would like people to not be shits, and the "Well people are just going to be poo poo, so adjust your expectations" attitude will never get people to not be shits, so I will probably never adopt it.

Wanting the world from your team is both unrealistic and unfair. Concentrate on your own play always and keep improving at basics you think you've gotten down (you haven't) and one day you'll be a silver elite like me.

I don't think the guy wants the world, just basic human decency and not being an annoying twat

I can take carrying into a loss with a poo poo team if the vibes are good.

left-handed models make the game so weird. I forget, were models in original CS left-handed only or right-handed only? Maybe they added a switch option way later (like when 1.0 was released or later?)

That's what I thought, it's odd though, now when i see videos/gifs/images of people using left-handed models, it looks super loving weird, but I played CS for thousands of hours prior to GO.

What's weirder is that I can play Overwatch no problem with right handed models, but if I try it in CS I have no hope.
