I have the unhealthiest relationship with solo queuing. It keeps hurting me, but I keep coming back to it. Tonight I break the cycle. I am leaving it and never coming back.

You have no idea how many times I've said this to myself. The sting of solo queue is nothing to letting down friends :qq:

Possibly, but most goons are probably totally unaware of what it is like to be completely shut down by a disciplined team. There aren't many free kills, even against a second tier pro team like D&G. Even if he's bad by pro player standards, he's still much much better than 99% of players.

Of course he is, but that was a pathetic performance by any standard, especially since D&G went frag hunting a lot once they had Godsent crushed.

the other day i found a cool dude in solo qq, added him and we played some matches.
there's a random brazillian i had added years ago who was pretty good, so i invited him. He invites a shitload of people, and 2 of them join, one of them unranked.
Game starts, and unranked man starts spinbotting and one shot killing everyone.
I try not to win because you know, there's a cheater, even killing him a couple of rounds as does my original teammate. The brazillian starts chasing my teammate cause he got super salted, which he retorts with by pushing him against a corner, and I seal off the opposite end. Cheater zeus me and I'm like huh, maybe I can use this. Teammate gets kicked due to killing the cheater too much, and I devise an insanely ingenious and never thought before strategy; nade myself at round start then stand between the cheater and enemies.
it works. he gets kicked.
the two remaining brazillians immediately vote to surrender.

addendum: By chance, after downloading the demo, I see the BR in my friendslist is in a lobby. I correctly assume that the cheater was using an alt, and that he'd keep playing with him. So I join, killing their search.
They kick me. Do it again. They kick me.
My brazillian friend is no longer my friend.
I used the JOIN GAME button on their profiles, stopping their search.
They kick me.
Repeat this for 10 minutes.

Both of them quit out of CS:GO

But.... I should be Global, my team is just holding me back, so this will not be a problem :confused:

E: Essentially I had a game where I had 2 children, at least one of whom had definitely not hit puberty, screaming at me constantly any time they were dead, and a teammate who gave up after losing the first two rounds of the match as CT's. I then abandoned a game for the first time in literal years, when I got put on their team again the next game. I just can't take it any more.

I just want to always be playing with good-vibes teams :smith:

I soloqueue but I've never known anything better except the days of yore in my l33t cal-o clan. I miss the old days of real pub servers when you had regulars and the sweet admin tools and stuff. I guess you can still do that but it feels deprecated in favor of ranked games.

suddenly i'm reminded of why i can't stand csgo sometimes.

15-13 on mirage, we're winning. one of their top fraggers toggles on for the last two rounds and ties it. and this isn't just me being suspicious, i watched the demo and it's pretty loving blatant.

I hope you reported him. If it was as blatant as you say it was, he should be overwatched pretty quickly.

It was the original Goon server during closed beta and early release run by Necco and Astro, it started as a pub before turning into a private 5v5 server after the creation of the Goonpug plugin(ASTRO). Then came Buttman courtesy of Prost and Lou(I think) and finally sub.io.

I had a private NFO server around then where the first Goonmans took place but we had to pick captains/teams/maps manually pre-plugin.

Gooood times

vvvv skill has definitely dropped off. Guys as good as kcer, hoods, knight, slime, etc aren't around anymore. The people playing back then had a lot of previous 1.6/source exp and weren't completely new to the series like most of the players now.

A lot of the Old Guard has moved on from goonmans in general, which sucks, but the one thing I do like is there's an influx of newer players, and not to mention I think the skill ceiling has gotten much higher, so there's more of a chance that you'll be facing off against better players these days.
