CSGO is a really great game. There's nothing else like it.

It's impressive that a game constantly has me improving and learning all the time, even at my 1.2k hours.

i just imagine the game starts to lose track as the rest of the world's place in the ladder gets shifted around, and so it has to compensate by making your volatility higher? complete nonsense and guesswork because noone knows how the system exactly works but it makes sense to me

it started with warming up on dm for 5 mins before an mm game and its ended up at downloading smoke practice maps, recoil pattern training excercises, complex console scripts and monklike ascetic isolation all for the brazillians screaming at me to get progressively angrier because they were totally gonna rank up to global this game

drat shame how the ak has a glock counterpart (wasteland rebel) but there's no such combo for the p2k/a4

There's a nice three way design of cyrex/desert strike/torque but the p2k is still left out what the heck there's no matching design ?!?!

I go through varying states of tryharding. I'm pretty out of it right now because of work schedules (and that everyone is fukken playing legion) but when I get the bug it's friberg's aim map, smoke practice, youtube videos and dm for hours

I think at some point you get to where the best way to get better is to just play matches against good people and learn from your mistakes and the approach of people better than you, but for a fairly new player there's a lot of benefit to just really grinding the mechanics. When I first started playing GO in early 2015 I probably had a slight advantage with my 1.6 background in terms of game sense and super basic positioning, but everything else was atrocious and since the only matches I played were against other people in the nova/MG range the chances of actually improving much was slim, but once I started investing an unhealthy amount of time in practice maps and non-valve dm I shot up from something like dmg to global in like 4 months

One thing I miss from the period when I really wanted to improve was that I had a muuuuch healthier relationship with winning and losing, like a loss was completely fine so long as I learned something from it, now I just get cs depression because I feel like I ought to have won, usually because I recognize my dumb mistakes but I'm too bad at this stupid game to rectify them

ive honestly stopped doing aim training and focused on learning smokes, which sucks cause i find my aim is outstanding one day and horrible the next one, or even fluctuating wildly between matches. Lately i've become consistent at mediocrity, most times just being ok, and a lot more often than i expected, top fragging, but still not enough to justify calling that the new baseline.
as for overall mentality, honestly how ive been feeling about it lately is if i've made some sick shots here and there, it was a good match, despite losing.

granted i've never been one to rage at the game or outright quit it out of losing streaks but i do get very bummed out when i just cant land easy shots that i *know* i can make. Even so, if i lose i just go, well whatever, and queue for the next game, cause the really good flickshots and moments where you outsmart a player make up for it.

so my advice i guess is play for the really cool moments

Its really hard to play other shooting games than cs. The guns don't have that feeling of die motherfucker and a lot of them have too much of the movement out of your control. The movement in source games is a bit of a mess but it beats the poo poo out of press space to clamber over waste high object with cool animations. Its odd that the immersive stuff makes games less immersive.

Smithereens weren't you the dude I got real mad at and then realized I shouldn't have gotten that mad and so I apologized for overreacting while saying I still stood by my initial point, like an adult, and took the poo poo goons threw at me for the next few pages and then it died down because I didn't keep trying to prove how cool and funny I was?

E: My point is you are now the me of that situation and you should just chill, it's over.

CS is the closest PC gaming has come to being a sport in the sense of a communal game with a set of rules and organization that travels back a respectable amount of time. It's pretty cool, really.

e: leave jump scouting alone jfc i take back what i said gently caress it all and gently caress you valve

excuse me, but let me tell you about a little game called starcraft: brood war, a game so popular as an esport that s. korea (the origin country of buns-sama) created a governing organization called kespa to enforce rules like banning match-fixers. also, you forgot about my other favorite esport, cribbage
