Just be like me. Root for SK/LG all the time and the American teams when they're not playing SK or NIP.

the correct question is at what rank is it okay to listen to your teammates, and that's usually about when you get out of gold novas bare minimum. Even down in silvers you'll still constantly get Those Guys who constantly drone on into the mic about their retarded strats that never work

Fair enough, but at least those people are talking. The matches I've played so far have been people typing a or b at the beginning of CT side, the rare callout once every 5 rounds, and the rest of the time it's just silence. Are any goons as bad as me (GN) or do I have to get good before I can have a chance to play with people that have mics?

Are you playing with or without prime matchmaking? Since Prime I've literally had a single game that didn't go well. All other games we have comms and callouts. Even if you get an idiot just mute him and talk like you did before.

If your team isn't communicating at all just start calling dumb fun strats like around the world and get people to loosen up.

e: I was DMG before I quit 2ish months ago. And the comms are just as good at MG1. People seem way more chill with Prime.

The drop me avp in a thick polish accent is very familiar to me but the are you loving serious no one is watching mid push from lower tunnels is something I end up saying a bunch when I have some dickhead mute awping in spawn with the tragedy being I only know he's a dickhead mute after they push.

To go back to the talking topic above you get total mutes and ragers on 19th century phones up to lem and supreme, maybe they have modern equipment apart from the wallhacks in global but I don't know yet. If you want people who give a poo poo on modern computers you have to pay a monthly subscription to esea or maybe faceit.

Stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus.
Dunno if it's Prime or the fact that I'm queuing with my brother or what, but I've been having a lot of fun in the lowish MM matches the system put me in. Pretty much everyone has been talking English and being nice. A stark contrast to when I tried MM before. Not trying to say that it's is super coordinated or anything, but at least people are trying.

Prime has made a huge difference. I used to get someone throwing the game or griefing, every other match, and it hasn't happened since prime.

last week ive played nothing but non prime games on my alt cause my irl friend has a friend queuing with us and he doesnt have the required exp level

only truly went "gently caress this nonsense" in two or three games, and even then, it wasnt all that different from playing against a guy having a good day at eagle 2. but this is mg2 on my alt, so

I had to check, but prime is on and set to exclusively prime. The dumb fun strats doesn't seem like a bad idea but I've been out of the game too long to feel comfortable calling any strats, I barely remember the smokes I used to use. I'll just have to bite the bullet and solo queue some more one of these days and find some people who want to queue together again after a good match.

Just pick two or three maps and play those until you're familiar with them. Learning smokes helps but honestly just learning how the map flows and predicting enemy movements helps too.

I also have a "default" for each T side. For Mirage I go B apts, underhand flash underpass (which happens to perfectly pop flash any CT's rushing if you let go at the top of the stairs) and help mid if someone is working it. If not you can help out mid if someone is fighting, you can lurk up under window/into connector or you can float back to apts and make noise or try to get a pick. Obviously just an example but getting comfortable with doing something besides "rush B" can help you not only learn maps but also block out some basic strats that can open up eco rounds and turn them into wins. As you develop more "defaults" it helps you figure out what T's will be doing while you're playing CT. At least this is how I've gotten better. My aim loving sucks dick so I have to rely on out thinking someone, pop flashing or getting lucky.

Somewhat related: my new favorite thing to do on Mirage T eco's is to smoke off mid so you can get out to boxes, pop flash the smoke and just sprint up cat. If someone is connector you're hosed but window is usually too slow to catch you and more often than not you can catch the guy on cat holding a nade or watching apts. Do not try with Actually Good Players :D

Luckily the cool people I used to queue with aren't lost in that it was mostly real life friends and I still talk with them, they just don't play CS anymore. But ya, not having anyone that's down to queue saps the motivation to play.


fennesz posted:

Lots of good advice
Ya, I'll have to work on that, just need to get over the initial speed bump of clicking play, looking at my friends list for someone to invite, then exiting out the game. Once I actually get in a game it's not too bad.

He's posted in these threads a couple of times and apparently tried out goonmans ages ago according to Turk, so he's not really active in the community. We ran across this guy in matchmaking completely by accident and only noticed after the fact the 8 or so SA Steam groups.

But yeah, another one bites the dust.
