Seems as if people have always said this concerning this game.

That's because consistently for years updates have made the game steadily worse.

Even if they did, everyone will adjust. It's just that no one expects them there. People start being there, everyone will check those spots.

THANK GOD FOR THE SMOKE MACHINE!
It's probably in their best interest to fix it though, as a lot of these maps are balanced around the fact that some ledges are designed to be 1-way for a solo player like under window in Mirage and vents in Cache.

Problem is, if T's can break middle in half every round on mirage, the map is close to impossible to win as CT. There's a reason there are 3 safe positions CT's can take to defend mid, it's the key to the map.

A lot of these maps are balanced around left eye vision, not right, and that doesn't seem to stop them.

But yeah I'm sure they'll fix it.

I hope they fix the crouch bug soon because while I'm bad at surfing I enjoy doing it and it kind of fucks with it a bit

train is c9's second best map right now. they banned their best current map, mirage. i don't think they like overpass or nuke so I wasn't surprised to see them pick it. their CT side looked good but they lost way too many rounds in the first half to be competitive.

the funny thing is if you've played enough pugs you would welcome someone in-game leading to give your team some cohesion, but no one ever listens and it's just a shitshow

the clip is both funny and sadly true

In a random pug the person who acts like that is usually a total no nothing dickhead who's only trying to benefit himself so its no wonder they mostly ignore him celebrity ex pro or not.

Why the hell are people without a mic allowed in competitive? You don't want to spend $5 on a mic stay in casual with the other idiots who don't want to make callouts.

I know a girl who doesn't give callouts because guys creep on her instantly.

Also I got that nijo energy, my first ace was with a 1v4 clutch to win the game 16-13. Feels good

Whatever dude you get matched with in MM will have a set of skills that brought him to that rank. If you got to MG by having good callouts but bad positioning, and a guy got to MG without a mic by having great positioning and no callouts, why would he be blocked from playing the game just cuz of your expectations?

This. Just play the drat game.

Especially if you solo queue you should be used to looking at the minimap and making snap decisions based on that. It's not great to play with someone who doesn't give info but loving work it instead of whining.

So what other arbitrary limitations should there be? Should we ban people who have poorly placed speakers from matchmaking because they can't hear where steps are coming from? Should we ban people who don't maximize their digital vibrance or who play in 16:9 because it makes it harder for them to spot opponents?

I have no mic, and when I have time to type (often cuz I'm dead), I type. And I reached GNM by not using a mic, and I have no reason to believe I'm contributing less to the team than any other arbitrary GNM player.

Look, it sucks to play with someone who doesn't have a mic but if you care about it that much instead of just chilling out and playing the game as best as you can in the circumstances you should add some people who you liked the comms of and stack with them. You'll not have this problem that way, or at least it will be offset by the legit comms you guarantee on your team.

There's a difference between giving callouts or suggesting a plan and obnoxiously shouting at people to do what you want. Its not exactly a subtle difference.

Well getting rid of smurfs and cheaters would be a good start but they keep buying copies of the game so that won't happen.

My skill is usually playing with people good enough to carry me while I rush out and die in an uncoordinated fashion and then never communicate. Hope you appreciate my skill when I solo queue and end up matched with you!
