I've gotten so used to playing goonmans and having teammates who actually communicate and cooperate and aren't total toxic pieces of trash that I've forgotten how to carry in solo q (because playing to carry when you can't rely on your team requires you to do some really weird/unconventional pubstar poo poo).

Carrying can make you feel like a boss though, I'm a GN2 and was queued with another GN2, and I think a S1, S3, and another S3 and they were just getting obliterated. We were behind bad T side on Nuke, and near the end I went on a rampage and had won us 5 rounds in a row with 3 or 4 kills each round up to a 16-14 defeat. Was dropping bombs on people on Inferno after that but we still had a close loss because even when you're above and beyond who you're fighting it's still tough to win when 3 of your teammates can't be relied upon to do simple things like trade an entry frag or even hold a position competently.

Speaking of goonmans though, I want to get into it but the OP is a bit of a mess with it. The buttmen brigade server isn't even found in the CS community search and the sub.io one was showing empty all last night when I was checking.

Buttmen Brigade is dead. Sub.io is used frequently, but we usually populate it with announcements through the steam group. Feel free to link the PGS thread in the OP.

I just dragged three 14-year-old children through 29 rounds to victory. Almost all dead air was filled with the screeching of prepubescent voices trying to sound like Beavis while dumb, bad plays were conducted wholesale and without remorse.

I now understand there can be no god.

He also got fined a month's salary (~5.5K), half of which will be donated to PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center and the other half to Born This Way. He also has to go to an anti-bullying seminar which is :laffo:. A bunch of preteens and then this buff-rear end 20-something.

You're never too old to learn how to not be a stupid rear end in a top hat.

My Rival has been going strong since I got it last year, the only issue I've had is the scrollwheel getting a little sensitive and the rubber on the thumb side getting a deep groove worn in it. I think I would find something with a textured plastic side if possible, but this thing is a solid A- for the $35 I spent on it.

In general though, just don't buy a Razer and you can't go wrong!

It's been a recurring problem with the Rival. Just search up "rival thumb grips worn" on google and you'll find a million pictures. They just use cheap, lovely rubber.

Played two games last night and both were rather close losses (12-16 and 13-16)...good thing both of those games had my teammates pissing away rounds for no reason (starting a defuse way too late / trying to knife the last guy in a 3v1, resulting in the guy killing the defuser and then everyone else) because otherwise we might have won!

For you silver and Nova goons, this happened on MGE. It never gets better.

There's a reason I bought FACEIT and only play premium queues now

The best way to get people to listen to you is to be personable. Rare exceptions when you get a csgo autist I guess.

My normal speaking voice has all the wrong frequencies in it so it just fades into the background with other noises, so I have to use my csgo autist voice in order to be heard. true story.

Yeah he makes a lot of money doing what literal hundreds of thousands of people do for free every day.

Plus he's got his fingers crossed for professional Overwatch. Already on a team and making the right friends, former/current pro TF2 players and the like. It's probably the best thing for him as a person, honestly. He has a strong desire to compete and Overwatch doesn't make him miserable in the way CSGO does (yet).

I haven't touched CS in years, but all of the fuss I've been hearing about a new Dust (!!!) combined with general nostalgia led me to reinstall GO.

Discovered that you have to be a certain rank to start playing competitive these days, and was wondering what the quickest way to do so is for someone who has limited free time for grinding, and also never got above mid-silver at my peak.

Also, how wretched is voice chat these days?

new dust is garbage, don't get suckered by those hacks at valve

I usually use an smg or rifle depending on the map, and occasionally a shotgun, but the shotguns don't seem like they have the killing power they should.

I'm not a fan of the sniper rifles.

the only shotgun that is reliably good is the MAG-7, the M1014 doesn't hit as hard and costs more while the Nova is less accurate.
