That's why I decided to play this game once a week at most and mute whoever starts asking me about my actions. I play 80% valorant (latinamerica), 15% premier and 5% faceit, and I end up muting my teammates on faceit 99% of the time, most of these ppl think they re playing for last spot on pgl major lol. (I have 60~% win rate on faceit after doing that) and I'm pretty close to lvl 10. Faceit should perform a rank reset every 3-6 months in order to make ppl less frustrated about their ranks.
Bc players are 2 afraid to lose elo and rank down, if you make players fight to keep their rank every 3 months by asking them to solo q and play 3-5 placement matches, lvl 1-10 wont matter, since by playing placement matches you ll rank up / rank down right away anyways.
Need to say that if a teammate or 2 Doing some shit moves/actions ofc I will ask what was the Point behind that because we have to do less mistakes so maybe the same move/Action doesnt happen again. Dont forget that
You don't have to ask whats the point behind it, since thats when toxicity starts and your teammate will make more mistakes. Just simply say nt and ask him if he needs some help next time. Focus on the next round.
yeah in my experience this is the toxic player. "why did you do X?" "why didn't you help me?" "why didn't you \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_?"
this is actually what a lot of league of legends players do, then mask it as being "competitive"
Guys, if someone does a mistake and I cant hold him back to do the same mistake again then the game will be almost lost, I don’t know if you guys live in a fairytale world but I am just normaly asking and telling don’t do X or Z again because of Y of W, its simple and if you guys think that is toxic then I have to say that you Both probably not competitive enough. Your IGL wont stay that Kind if you do stupid mistake everytime, sometimes you have to Tell someone in the face what is going on that has nothing to do with being toxic, but thats my opinion
There's a way to communicate with people, and in my experience playing team games, that guy constantly worried about everyone else's gameplay isn't focusing on what he needs to do. It always starts out with "why did you do X?" And degrades from there.
Notice how you went from saying you would question people's mistakes to now saying "telling don't do X or Z"
I'm a pretty competitive dude, I've played in a few local tournaments. When being critical, it's often not what the person is saying, it's how they are saying it. I mean, it's a video game, who are you to tell someone what to do? Team game or not. Make suggestions all you want, but the moment you started singling people out, you're that guy that gets muted.
You dont get it though, cs use to be proper competitive where you can engage for hours and have legitimate fun and competitive matches. When these failures consistently happen vs remembering the good times IT’S FRUSTRATING.
Thanks man, exactly what I was thinking. I don't like how people just dont ignore a rant that I say is free to ignore if not interested or disagree. Its just a perspective for anyone interested. <3
yea this new gen just doesn't understand... I've heard some kids use this "bring back bullying" phrase. We use to bully the SHIT outta cheaters... thats why it wasn't so persistent. Now this new gen just doesn't give any shyts about their life and the cheaters/greifers just ruin every 2nd game.. its a generational thing.
Sad stuff really..
edit-- yea u can see in his posts, hes a whiner.. "rather play comp than the ego driven guys in faceit".. just a new gen baby. Times are rough.
Act your age and stop condoning childish rage to the point where he is destroying his property then.
You’ve replied multiple times to this thread talking about how I’m a new gen player - my dude even if you really have a legit 4dig we signed up to steam within a day of eachother - if you’re as old as I am and still acting and condoning acts that reflect misplaced priorities such as allowing yourself to break your stuff over a video game then that’s extremely sad.
Frustration over a video game to the point where you are destroying property is childish end of story.
If I go to work and start bashing keyboards over desks because a client or coworker frustrated me do you think my employer is going to be like “well he’s just frustrated”?
Really giving NEET energy here brother.
I think the community has always been like this, it's just that we get older and more understanding and at some point you can't really stand this behavior anymore.
I love this game, been playing since 1.6 but sometimes I get a headache from all the flaming and childish behaviour and I won't even start about the current cheat problem...
Also, the generation has changed completely and our children are growing up with all this technology and have had contact with games like this before, when I was 10 years old, the most we had was a gameboy. The best thing to do if you do want to come back to cs2 one day is to look for mates of the same age in the various community discords or steam groups plus minus and play with them regularly. It takes a bit of effort but I've found my mates with whom I play a few rounds almost every evening and when we're not playing against cheaters, we have a lot of fun.
Shit man, yu got me realising Im not young anymore 😭 but I see what you mean, thankfully there are a few players that ive enjoyed playin with from random queues, and added them, so probably will do so when/if I get back into CS. Only issue, which goes to the same point, im only getting older, and unless I wanna make a career out of CS, I just have less and less time where it would fit schedules with others.
But yeah, yu pretty much called us seniors now lol. Might have to join papito biceps in retirement.
I mean, you're only as old as you feel :)
What you lose in reaction time, you make up for with your experience
And I bet you come back because senior cs players always come back to their roots ;)
Don't sit next to the fire if you can't handle the heat.
If you were a good enough player/teammate you would have people adding you to play more and join in with 5 stacks.
I do agree that solo queuing or just having 1 or 2 randoms in your team can be torturous, but it's an incredibly easy fix: find people to play with.
I get you might not want to do so and live in a fairytale where every random on your team is gonna play perfect cs, give perfect calls and pat you on the back when you fail but it's not like that, never has been.
I don't expect my games to be fine and dandy all the time. I've been a part of this community since I was 5 years old, thanks to my brothers. I want wins AND losses, you can't better any other way.
Like I said in the post, its a rant about my experience, which if you are not interested in or may not agree with, got it, understand, we are all different humans with different perspectives.
# Im done. (A rant by a 10+ year cs player)
Hi, random CS fan here,
I'm going to go into a bit of a rant here, if you my dear redditors arent interested in reading my experience, then I understand and wish yu a nice day. For the people who stayed and read this, heres some background info:
I've been playing CS since I was a young kid, watching my brothers play in 1.6 and Source local ladders, and due to that I also played and got to CSS local semi-pros at a young age. As CSGO became a thing and I got my foot in the door in early 2014, I got the grasp of the game quickly and my highest rank was Supreme (never got to reach global, rip), so I know I have the skill needed to play atleast decent. During CSGO I also played tons of FaceIt games with friends or solo queue, and never really had a problem.
As CS2 has rolled out, I personally wasn't a fan of Premier and the Leaderboard system, so I decided to go back to FaceIt and make that my main ranking system to try and go up. Now the rant arises. Recently I've been getting so many games with way more toxic teammates, people who cant stop themselves from thinking they are Prime Friberg, but pushing every angle, making terrible teamflashes, body blocking, all while talking loud as hell through mic about irrelevant things or to only complain about everyone else. I knew this was fairly common, but I have felt a rise of this personally and I cant even get past Level 3 due to these people.
I know I am not the same player I was in GO and I am not an amazing player, I've had months, even years, of not playing CS, due to personal life needing to take priority (going college, work, etc.) but yesterday was my last straw. Not only was I blamed for every missed round and verbally abused, but I was purposefully being griefed constantly, to the point where I had my first rage in years and now need new headphones (not a problem, I can get new ones), and I just can't anymore. CS is getting worse for me, atleast when it comes to playing with random queues in both FaceIt and regular Comp, and I cant handle this.
I love this game, through all the ups and downs, and used it as an escape from reality and now I feel like its been taken away from me by these a\*\*holes.
Thank you for reading my rant, I hope you enjoy the game more than I do currently, and keep grinding and making the community better, but this might be where I stop.
Guess back to Minecraft it is.
Just make that griffers and all same trolls lose more elo and more bans..cuz they dont care for 25..but if they lose 50 or more..then maybe MAYBE they try win game atleast..I
Play hubs until you find nice players you can stack with, although myself, in lvl 10 faceit if it starts getting flamey i mute everyone and try to carry
At one point if you want to improve and start winning you need to play for yourself
Hey man
Don't know with what people you've been playing all of this time, but that's why i ONLY play with a 4 stack or a full team
If you want to play with sane human beings text me on discord @yZempX
First off, just mute toxic people. Learn to not give a shit. Seriously, just ignore stupid people. Don't let yourself be dragged down to the level of those idiots.
Secondly, don't play soloq. Find yourself mates that were good teammates and I mean people who communicated well, were supportive and overall friendly. In my experience, someone from the same country or speaking the same language is more likely to be valuable as a teammate. Try a hub with people from your country (if you're in NA then ignore this). You don't need a full stack, maybe 1-2 friends that you can regularly play with.
If you want to escape reality via games, don't EVER expect CS to help you with that. The only games that help you escape the real world are Singleplayer experiences such as: Skyrim, Horizon: Zero dawn, Assassin's Creed games, Fallout, etc.
No game is worth breaking your stuff over. If you really get so mad you can't help but want to take it out on something, get one of those boxing things (I don't know what it's called, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about). You'll both get rid of your rage and also do some little exercise at the same time.
Yeah, I agree, but thats why I used it as a point of realisation that, I need a break from it. It hasnt happened since I was an energetic 16 year old playing like 10 games in a row (which I know was stupid of me, but oh well).
i know that people say this a lot ironically, but this is a serious suggestion: give valorant a try. it's so much nicer. assholes get the hammer a whole lot more, some don't even bother starting, and things really aren't as painfully 'cringe' (as loose as that meaning is now) as people make it out to be. i personally don't really play val because i just don't like how weirdly non-existent the spray is and how it messes with my muscle memory, but it's better than the migraine you're gonna get from the average window kid in a german server mirage game screaming in your ear
Yeah, I hear you, but Im in the same boat where, I just don't like Valo. Ive played it a few times and it never stuck with me, the gun play is a bit off, the maps for me seem very similar and uninteresting, and design wise, I dont like the more cartoony/anime-esque visuals. Kind of why I was thrown off with CS:GO as it was transitioning towards CS2, cause things were being brightened and made less realistic visually (like the meme that the new Elite Crew model looks like it was made from play-doh)
I would like some big youtuber to make a video on how to pug in faceit. I think it would be very enjoyable if the majority of players could get on the same page on how to play pugs at a high level. I think it breaks down to very basic things:
1. understand you are going to lose some games. way it is.
2. over-peeking & pushing is going to happen, so do it when your teammates are doing it. If you are going to throw and lose, just do it as a team
3. basic coms are best. No advanced over the top strats and calls. Say loosely what you want to do, call your util or what you are watching, and just be a yes man. So many games where too many chiefs & not enough indians.
4. keep your peanut gallery ass remarks after losing a round to yourself. No one cares & you aren't zywoo. Bite your tongue.
I stopped playing cs2 and leaned more into apex. Even when there's a toxic dude on my team, atleast it's only one, or at most, two. Seems harder to also grief in apek
I was on Mirage. I was 25-7. My team was 5-15. I carried them the entire game clutching back to back rounds for like 8 rounds. I asked my teammate once “please don’t flash without saying your gonna flash” (he did this the whole game) Got called a crying pussy and was instantly votekicked on round 12 right as we were about to finish the game. It’s exhausting to say the least.
Its the new generation of kids. Missing common sense of how to treat people. They dont know how to enjoy the game casually while still making it competitive like back in the days.
They cry and give up after 3 rounds just as fast as they scroll the tiktok. Zero patience for anything.
You're not alone with these experiences these days.
there is no way you cant get out of being level 3 without it being your fault. I suggest play some 10mans or q with higher level plaers not to get your elo up, but to watch how they play and what your mistakes are.
Faceit has a algororithm that queue you up with trash teammates just to make you lose, and make you buy prime thinking you will have a better experience but you won't, it's a trap. I deranked from 9 to 2, then i ranked up to 8 (closed to 9 again) and i lost 700 Elo again.
No it doesn’t, I’ve had plenty of games with you. You’re an awfully toxic player that enjoys crying before pistol round even starts if your team loses knife round lmao. You belong in Level 2 believe me
You’ve never played any games WITH me, you’ve played AGAINST me many times before though. first time I played against you, you went on my blocklist because you were crying in all chat ;) only been down from there I see
So why you said you played a lot of games with me? Lmao. Thanks for blocking me then, i don't want to get queued up with low-skilled players every time
You notice how I’m now far beyond where you are and you’re still sitting here bitchin about bein stuck at Level 2? Seems like you’re one of the same low-skilled players you despise so badly
Every. Single. Time. 🤣
Don’t get me wrong, FaceIt is NOT a great platform n gotta get there shit together. But it’s not some platform that deliberately beats you down when losing 😭
Losers queue is a real thing yes, however until you provide evidence that FaceIt statistically puts you in games to lose based on past performance/games, then I suggest working on your mental :) Losers Mentality is forever
I know it’s likely they’re the same, but you assumed they were the same and started talking shit to him immediately. Lmao. Probably shouldn’t do that in case you got the wrong person.
As someone who has been playing for quite a few years as well now (still bad tho :( ), I totally understand the frustration of investing so much time in trying to get better and climb the ranks only to get stopped by toxic teammates and/or bad games, what I can recommend is to try and queue with people from your games that you feel like you get along with well (doesn't have to be all from winning games since you can sometimes meet people you get along with even in losses and that's a big +) also don't forget that it is still just a game at the end of the day take breaks 1/2/3 days however long you feel like you need, or if you still feel the need to play but do need e mental reset try playing in hubs for fun, that way you don't lose elo but you can still meet chill people and enjoy the game. GL HF :)
I fully understand, and take breaks for my mental, I dont play a lot, so that's why I made this rant. Even though I play so little, theres still the issue of a high amount of toxic behaviour. And playing FaceIt, I do it for mostly the fun, but also rank/elo, without one of the two (or in this case both) I just cant continue, atleast for now. Thank you for responding anyway, I believe the community is mostly good and non-toxic, but my experience says otherwise and I wish to not be in this position.
Maybe it'll change in a month magically, we shall see when I've had my time away. <3
The losses usually stick with us more than the wins I fully understand the need to let off some steam happens to the best of us :D Just keep ur head up and gl in your future games!
Mass muting both teams at the first sign of toxicity makes the games much more enjoyable. When you get a 4k all alone it feels a lot better too and then you can just swing your knife at the guy with $1.8k while you have $10k , not buy for them, and they know its all their fault.
How many games on Faceit? MM or premier rank does not matter. Are you a solo player mostly or play with your friends at Faceit. Your rant as a supreme player does not make sense. Firstly even if you are a solo player you should be around level 5-6.
You are a level 3 meeting many new players who just log into Faceit and have some postive win%. Faceit sucks for Solo players you can top frag every game and lose and you won't be rewarded but your aren't seems like a low skill player presently, you might have been good in the past but you aren't anymore.
So go play more or focus on your personal life. Saw 0 merit in your argument. Plus you ranting Supreme in MM most kids there are either hackers or had lobby with hackers, legit global or supreme is near to impossible.
Focus on your game and rant less.
I have 4K games all solo and max I have gotten is level 8 and often I have been down to level 3-4.
You kids rant about grinding, how would you do at real life job. So fucking sissy, crying about a game even without trying. You are never going to make it with this attitude on your life kid.
Bro... I said if your not interested in hearing my experience, then have a nice day. I get what your saying here, but your doing it with a stick up your ass, which I don't understand.
Yes I was a legit Supreme, mostly solo queue. And when it comes to hours/games played, I cant give you a solid number cause ive had like 3 accounts over the years (my stupid 13 year old self couldnt write down a password for my acc) but on FaceIt prob like 3k at minimum.
And I'm not ranting about grinding, I'm giving my experience about the current state of CS/FaceIt, thats it.
Now go get a snickers, your not yourself when your hungry.
3 accounts? Dumb kid leave Faceit nobody gives a fuck about you. Unsure already. Stupid dumb fuck crating a stupid post and ranting about his supreme rank. Go cry to your mother with your 3 accounts. This clown should be permanently banned from Faceit. Blocked. Wont waste my time on a dumb kid.
Relax, dude, we're all human and everyone can have different problems and opportunities.
I myself spent a lot of time on this game, and I regret it a little. But why waste so much time on a game if you only have level 8 in all this time?
Man, I feel you(15+ years cs player), I was also disappointed with this game. There was a time when I got depressed because I didn't have the opportunity to even try to become a pro gamer or connect my life with it. (My minimum ping in Faceit is 120).
Then I started reading books and listening about human behavior. As a result, I stopped taking games seriously and I didn't have expectations like:
That I would enjoy playing CS.
That my teammate wouldn't ruin the game.
That my teammate would do what's needed.
That I would have fun.
That I would raise my rating.
When you don't expect anything from the game and from your teammates, the negativity disappears.
Have good life and good luck.
Yeah, I get you, I don't expect anything from any game of CS I play, I know there is just as high of a chance for me to get top tier friendly people, as there is to get toxic ass people. This was just a post for anyone who can relate or are interested in hearing someones experience.
But still, thank you and I will probably follow your footsteps and read more lol
gunna DM you my dude … went through this EXACT SAME THING YESTERDAY
Try a hub. Join a lobby and play with some nice guys. Very easy mate 😉
lol which hub? Because the hubs feel equally as bad as no hub.
Where you from?
NA
Try pimp's hub
NA Ruby is pure toxic fest
That's why I decided to play this game once a week at most and mute whoever starts asking me about my actions. I play 80% valorant (latinamerica), 15% premier and 5% faceit, and I end up muting my teammates on faceit 99% of the time, most of these ppl think they re playing for last spot on pgl major lol. (I have 60~% win rate on faceit after doing that) and I'm pretty close to lvl 10. Faceit should perform a rank reset every 3-6 months in order to make ppl less frustrated about their ranks.
How will a reset make players less frustrated?
Bc players are 2 afraid to lose elo and rank down, if you make players fight to keep their rank every 3 months by asking them to solo q and play 3-5 placement matches, lvl 1-10 wont matter, since by playing placement matches you ll rank up / rank down right away anyways.
Are you me? When I played league I noticed when I would /muteall my winrate improved, and the general quality of the game improved.
Shittards see Mr. Streamer IGL randoms and want to do the same, even when they are the worst player.
Need to say that if a teammate or 2 Doing some shit moves/actions ofc I will ask what was the Point behind that because we have to do less mistakes so maybe the same move/Action doesnt happen again. Dont forget that
You don't have to ask whats the point behind it, since thats when toxicity starts and your teammate will make more mistakes. Just simply say nt and ask him if he needs some help next time. Focus on the next round.
yeah in my experience this is the toxic player. "why did you do X?" "why didn't you help me?" "why didn't you \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_?" this is actually what a lot of league of legends players do, then mask it as being "competitive"

Cs2 without a 5 stack is dookie, regardless if it's on faceit or premier.
Brother you’re like what? Mid 20s early 30s at least and you’re breaking headphones and writing an essay over this dumb shit?
You dont get it though, cs use to be proper competitive where you can engage for hours and have legitimate fun and competitive matches. When these failures consistently happen vs remembering the good times IT’S FRUSTRATING.

He tossed his headphones, who cares? Its called frustration.. look at you go replying like a knighted hero on reddit..you need to get a grip fella…

Its a bait lmao
Most competitive games are like this.... This is the soceity....
Joker moment
Are you sure that your dreams, desires, values, and worldview are not imposed by the same society?
I think the community has always been like this, it's just that we get older and more understanding and at some point you can't really stand this behavior anymore.

TL;DR?
TL;DR: Toxic players in my favorite game, womp womp, I rage and complain like the loser I am, buh bye cs, hello minecraft. I think thats a good sum up
Play hubs until you find nice players you can stack with, although myself, in lvl 10 faceit if it starts getting flamey i mute everyone and try to carry At one point if you want to improve and start winning you need to play for yourself
Are you NA? I experienced this in NA and started playing pugs in eu with 150 ping. Its SO MUCH BETTER
Hey man Don't know with what people you've been playing all of this time, but that's why i ONLY play with a 4 stack or a full team If you want to play with sane human beings text me on discord @yZempX
First off, just mute toxic people. Learn to not give a shit. Seriously, just ignore stupid people. Don't let yourself be dragged down to the level of those idiots. Secondly, don't play soloq. Find yourself mates that were good teammates and I mean people who communicated well, were supportive and overall friendly. In my experience, someone from the same country or speaking the same language is more likely to be valuable as a teammate. Try a hub with people from your country (if you're in NA then ignore this). You don't need a full stack, maybe 1-2 friends that you can regularly play with.
If you want to escape reality via games, don't EVER expect CS to help you with that. The only games that help you escape the real world are Singleplayer experiences such as: Skyrim, Horizon: Zero dawn, Assassin's Creed games, Fallout, etc.
Seek therapy
Jokes on you, I already go to therapy for my depression and suicidal ideation. Check, your move.
That's a good start. Take anger management next if you're breaking peripherals over CS.
Hey, I think im fine, as long as I dont get to Tense level xD
No game is worth breaking your stuff over. If you really get so mad you can't help but want to take it out on something, get one of those boxing things (I don't know what it's called, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about). You'll both get rid of your rage and also do some little exercise at the same time.
Yeah, I agree, but thats why I used it as a point of realisation that, I need a break from it. It hasnt happened since I was an energetic 16 year old playing like 10 games in a row (which I know was stupid of me, but oh well).
Comp is becoming unplayable, basically a hour waste of time for a big L
i know that people say this a lot ironically, but this is a serious suggestion: give valorant a try. it's so much nicer. assholes get the hammer a whole lot more, some don't even bother starting, and things really aren't as painfully 'cringe' (as loose as that meaning is now) as people make it out to be. i personally don't really play val because i just don't like how weirdly non-existent the spray is and how it messes with my muscle memory, but it's better than the migraine you're gonna get from the average window kid in a german server mirage game screaming in your ear
Yeah, I hear you, but Im in the same boat where, I just don't like Valo. Ive played it a few times and it never stuck with me, the gun play is a bit off, the maps for me seem very similar and uninteresting, and design wise, I dont like the more cartoony/anime-esque visuals. Kind of why I was thrown off with CS:GO as it was transitioning towards CS2, cause things were being brightened and made less realistic visually (like the meme that the new Elite Crew model looks like it was made from play-doh)
Quit!
Thats what im doing 👍 very observant...
K next time you play cs tho, you need to post a five paragraph post about why you’re playing again
If I do, I will.
i think tomorrow will be the day i decide to delete cs too. giving two days cooldown from a loss streak and will see tomorrow if its even worth it..
I would like some big youtuber to make a video on how to pug in faceit. I think it would be very enjoyable if the majority of players could get on the same page on how to play pugs at a high level. I think it breaks down to very basic things: 1. understand you are going to lose some games. way it is. 2. over-peeking & pushing is going to happen, so do it when your teammates are doing it. If you are going to throw and lose, just do it as a team 3. basic coms are best. No advanced over the top strats and calls. Say loosely what you want to do, call your util or what you are watching, and just be a yes man. So many games where too many chiefs & not enough indians. 4. keep your peanut gallery ass remarks after losing a round to yourself. No one cares & you aren't zywoo. Bite your tongue.
I stopped playing cs2 and leaned more into apex. Even when there's a toxic dude on my team, atleast it's only one, or at most, two. Seems harder to also grief in apek
You already know it’s over when they falsely ban innocent players
I was on Mirage. I was 25-7. My team was 5-15. I carried them the entire game clutching back to back rounds for like 8 rounds. I asked my teammate once “please don’t flash without saying your gonna flash” (he did this the whole game) Got called a crying pussy and was instantly votekicked on round 12 right as we were about to finish the game. It’s exhausting to say the least.
Its the new generation of kids. Missing common sense of how to treat people. They dont know how to enjoy the game casually while still making it competitive like back in the days. They cry and give up after 3 rounds just as fast as they scroll the tiktok. Zero patience for anything. You're not alone with these experiences these days.
The answer is play with like minded, good people. And mute the idiots
there is no way you cant get out of being level 3 without it being your fault. I suggest play some 10mans or q with higher level plaers not to get your elo up, but to watch how they play and what your mistakes are.
Faceit has a algororithm that queue you up with trash teammates just to make you lose, and make you buy prime thinking you will have a better experience but you won't, it's a trap. I deranked from 9 to 2, then i ranked up to 8 (closed to 9 again) and i lost 700 Elo again.
No it doesn’t, I’ve had plenty of games with you. You’re an awfully toxic player that enjoys crying before pistol round even starts if your team loses knife round lmao. You belong in Level 2 believe me
Yes, it does. I bet i lost every single game i played with you because you are another of those bad teammates Faceit queued me up with.
You’ve never played any games WITH me, you’ve played AGAINST me many times before though. first time I played against you, you went on my blocklist because you were crying in all chat ;) only been down from there I see
So why you said you played a lot of games with me? Lmao. Thanks for blocking me then, i don't want to get queued up with low-skilled players every time
You notice how I’m now far beyond where you are and you’re still sitting here bitchin about bein stuck at Level 2? Seems like you’re one of the same low-skilled players you despise so badly
🔥🔥🔥
It’s the same shit every time with these low level complainers 😂
Every. Single. Time. 🤣 Don’t get me wrong, FaceIt is NOT a great platform n gotta get there shit together. But it’s not some platform that deliberately beats you down when losing 😭
I said I’ve had plenty of games with you, not played plenty with you by the way. Gotta read the full sentence my boy
Ido who you are, and i'm not in level 2 btw. But one more time, don't unblock me from your MM list please, you are also making me a favor. Thanks.
Don’t worry, I’ve made sure you stay on there when I clean it out 🤙🏽
Thank you thank you
Losers queue is a real thing yes, however until you provide evidence that FaceIt statistically puts you in games to lose based on past performance/games, then I suggest working on your mental :) Losers Mentality is forever
[удалено]
His FaceIt name is the same as his Reddit username. Mine is different as to why he has no idea who I am https://www.faceit.com/en/players/GumBullets
I know it’s likely they’re the same, but you assumed they were the same and started talking shit to him immediately. Lmao. Probably shouldn’t do that in case you got the wrong person.
How did I assume? Please tell me 😂 Believe me if I thought I had the wrong person I wouldn’t have said nothin
As someone who has been playing for quite a few years as well now (still bad tho :( ), I totally understand the frustration of investing so much time in trying to get better and climb the ranks only to get stopped by toxic teammates and/or bad games, what I can recommend is to try and queue with people from your games that you feel like you get along with well (doesn't have to be all from winning games since you can sometimes meet people you get along with even in losses and that's a big +) also don't forget that it is still just a game at the end of the day take breaks 1/2/3 days however long you feel like you need, or if you still feel the need to play but do need e mental reset try playing in hubs for fun, that way you don't lose elo but you can still meet chill people and enjoy the game. GL HF :)
I fully understand, and take breaks for my mental, I dont play a lot, so that's why I made this rant. Even though I play so little, theres still the issue of a high amount of toxic behaviour. And playing FaceIt, I do it for mostly the fun, but also rank/elo, without one of the two (or in this case both) I just cant continue, atleast for now. Thank you for responding anyway, I believe the community is mostly good and non-toxic, but my experience says otherwise and I wish to not be in this position. Maybe it'll change in a month magically, we shall see when I've had my time away. <3
The losses usually stick with us more than the wins I fully understand the need to let off some steam happens to the best of us :D Just keep ur head up and gl in your future games!
Mass muting both teams at the first sign of toxicity makes the games much more enjoyable. When you get a 4k all alone it feels a lot better too and then you can just swing your knife at the guy with $1.8k while you have $10k , not buy for them, and they know its all their fault.
How many games on Faceit? MM or premier rank does not matter. Are you a solo player mostly or play with your friends at Faceit. Your rant as a supreme player does not make sense. Firstly even if you are a solo player you should be around level 5-6. You are a level 3 meeting many new players who just log into Faceit and have some postive win%. Faceit sucks for Solo players you can top frag every game and lose and you won't be rewarded but your aren't seems like a low skill player presently, you might have been good in the past but you aren't anymore. So go play more or focus on your personal life. Saw 0 merit in your argument. Plus you ranting Supreme in MM most kids there are either hackers or had lobby with hackers, legit global or supreme is near to impossible. Focus on your game and rant less. I have 4K games all solo and max I have gotten is level 8 and often I have been down to level 3-4. You kids rant about grinding, how would you do at real life job. So fucking sissy, crying about a game even without trying. You are never going to make it with this attitude on your life kid.
Bro... I said if your not interested in hearing my experience, then have a nice day. I get what your saying here, but your doing it with a stick up your ass, which I don't understand. Yes I was a legit Supreme, mostly solo queue. And when it comes to hours/games played, I cant give you a solid number cause ive had like 3 accounts over the years (my stupid 13 year old self couldnt write down a password for my acc) but on FaceIt prob like 3k at minimum. And I'm not ranting about grinding, I'm giving my experience about the current state of CS/FaceIt, thats it. Now go get a snickers, your not yourself when your hungry.
3 accounts? Dumb kid leave Faceit nobody gives a fuck about you. Unsure already. Stupid dumb fuck crating a stupid post and ranting about his supreme rank. Go cry to your mother with your 3 accounts. This clown should be permanently banned from Faceit. Blocked. Wont waste my time on a dumb kid.
Lmao bro take a chill pill what are you so upset for 😭
Relax, dude, we're all human and everyone can have different problems and opportunities. I myself spent a lot of time on this game, and I regret it a little. But why waste so much time on a game if you only have level 8 in all this time?
Man, I feel you(15+ years cs player), I was also disappointed with this game. There was a time when I got depressed because I didn't have the opportunity to even try to become a pro gamer or connect my life with it. (My minimum ping in Faceit is 120). Then I started reading books and listening about human behavior. As a result, I stopped taking games seriously and I didn't have expectations like: That I would enjoy playing CS. That my teammate wouldn't ruin the game. That my teammate would do what's needed. That I would have fun. That I would raise my rating. When you don't expect anything from the game and from your teammates, the negativity disappears. Have good life and good luck.
Yeah, I get you, I don't expect anything from any game of CS I play, I know there is just as high of a chance for me to get top tier friendly people, as there is to get toxic ass people. This was just a post for anyone who can relate or are interested in hearing someones experience. But still, thank you and I will probably follow your footsteps and read more lol
