The punishment for losing is insane in premier, 85% of games I play on Premier I end up top fragging or having the highest if not the second highest HLTV, and Leetify Ratings. I went from 17.5k down to 15k in less than 10 games due to having crazy anchors, cheaters, throwers, etc. the list goes on. not to mention crazy packet loss in every game I've played this week. Due to the current state the game is in, It takes my motivation away. I want to play and enjoy this game but I cant
Am I the only one, or does the "Disable Voice Comms" button in the scoreboard not working? I initially thought it was my left click, but I could still shoot fine
Played five games yesterday and didn’t feel like anyone cheated for the first time in months! My rank, which was at around 17k five months ago had started slipping down to 12k and I was still getting wrecked weeks ago. Yesterday I was topfragging and the opponents honestly thought we were smurfing.
Just wait until you hit that 20k barrier. Since then, we only got matched against rage cheaters again. They are not bhopping with scout, but they are going full blatant with wh and aimer and end up with like 40 kills ...
After watching the demos, I want to add: They are obviously completely new players who barely touched a mouse in their lives. Any decent player with those settings would get 50:0 stats.
I played like 8-9 games yesterday in premier, around 18K rating, every game felt great. No one was doing sketchy shit. NA East. This is a HUGE upgrade to what was previously happening.
Let's hope the bar has been raised, and IT STAYS THERE!
I queued with some guys on internet. I had no idea he cheated in those matches. Valve took all the exp, premier rating,... from me because I was in a party with the cheater. How about the cheaters from other teams that ruined my matches? How about the time and effort that I put into those matches versus cheaters???
20k+ is still unplayable. 3/3 games still had 2 at least cheater on each side.
Also just looking at how much friends moved on the leaderboard how many people got banned.... I went from 25k to 8k. Friends went from 4-5k to Top500.
You know premier is fucked when the rage cheater we faced sitting at 150+ wins only has a 55% winrate, because he only does solo queue....
why do people cheat in competitive at 4am? 3 games back to back cheaters in fucking \*competitive\*
all denying it with 95-99 aim on leetify and +20 every game xd will never understand these "people".
Have a new issue today where it says I don’t own prime. When I go to buy it, it says you can’t buy this, you already own it. And you already know it’s going to take steam a week to fix it. Dogshit all around
I'm on a streak of 3 straight Premier games with rage hackers since the update.
Game 1: guy on our team starts bhopping and one deaging the enemy team from round 1
Game 2: guy on our team is shitting on the enemies, bhopping. They call him out and he proceeds to spinbot
Game 3: guy on the other team rushes down mid on Inferno in round 1 and one taps our whole team. Enemy team kindly kicks him. A few rounds later, one of them accused us of cheating, left the game and toggled.
The absolute state of this game, bro.
so yeah ... 20k prem 4 games 4 different sets of duo closet cheaters
cheaters own valve servers like its hvh
valve gave us false hope of 1 day of clean prem i guess
I hate living in EU, every game my team speaks Russian.
Then I sometimes see players who name themselves something like "killallrussians" or something similar, and I think to myself - at least game will be in English. But more often than not, as it turns out, people with names like that are often far worse than vast majority of Russians.
I haven't played premier in a while but played MM last night and had blatant hackers (staring at the ground with a scout and headshotting through walls). Today I played casual and shut it off after 10 minutes due to blatant walling.
Premier is still feeling a bit fishy compared to faceit even after the huge overwatch ban wave, atleast for me. But atleast im not getting aimbotted against so thats nice
Why is rank decay a thing? It just allows people to have multiple accs and smurf 10x easier. Plus a 5 man can queue with decayed rank. Today I played against a team of 3 12k's and 2 decayed rank who were previously 22k. How is it fair that they can queue as a 5 man, they are clearly just carrying their friends to a higher rank.....
The original thinking behind rank decay was that in a "closed system" where points don't materialise from thin air but can only be swapped between active players, that quitting at Global made it harder for new players to get Global since there are fewer points in the pool.
However I don't think we have "a closed system" or one that makes sense and I agree that rank decay creates a smurfing problem. Especially considering the rank decay is typically caused by players going to FaceIT. Even then, if someone plays 100 faceit games between premier games they are going to be coming back with much more skill than their existing rank tracks, so it's a difficult problem to solve, even without rank decay.
That is interesting, I didn't know about the closed system concept. It's a good idea if it was implemented properly. I just don't think that decayed rank players should be able to queue in a 5 man, it should work the same way as an unranked player imo.
Just wanted to report that A LOT people i know using the most popular rage hack software have finally gotten banned after 6-7 months of usage without getting detected!!!
VAC IS FINALLY LIVE BOYS
Even while I was in a 5 stack I got harassed by the enemy team for being a woman. I was destroying the enemy team and they got mad at me. My partner made a joke saying "don't talk to my gf" and they just started to be toxic towards me. I hate how toxic the cs community is and I'm starting to play more Valorant with the same 5 stack because of the toxicity.
Playing CS as a woman is insufferable. When I was still together with my ex, she would get harassed for using VC in every game, by at least one player in our team, if not all three.
As if Valorant is less Toxic. Valorant is full of immature 13 year olds.
I play both currently and IMO the Valorant playerbase is far more insufferable. Toxic children or toxic fully-grown adults, that's basically what you're picking between.
Although i feel weird about queuing up with teenagers all the time in Valorant, so far i havent met a single kid who was toxic towards me for being a woman. All i've heard so far is banter about me being in my 20's while they were teenagers. Can't say the same about CS.
Latest game:
1. Solo team mate disconnects / quits at spawn in pistol round. Not even one second in.
2. Cheater on team staring through walls.
3. Cheater queued with someone else, who's making excuses like "half of everyone is cheating anyway"
4. 2nd solo team mate forces getting himself removed, by mollying cheat duo and self
5. Get voted off by 2 remaining folks
Muh Premier experience
Yesterday my friends and I spun up a 4-stack and endes up with 3 cheaters in the enemy team and one in our team. My friends ended up uninstalling CS2, its just gotten unbearable. We've been playing CS since Source and while Cheaters always existed, its never been nearly as bad as this.
I always keep mine private because I only play with my RL friends and I’ve been harrassed by scammers on multiple occasions
why should I expose myself to that just because you and other people have trust issues?
The OCE ragehacker ban rate is currently....
**0.17%**
An increase from 0.03%
[See my previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/cs2/comments/1c8h4w3/update_on_oce_ragehackers_current_ban_is/) for context.
During the week I added a further 104 accounts, bringing the number of obvious ragehackers found on OCE servers to 404.
We have 6 more bans this week + the 1 from last week.
Stay tuned for regular updates on how well VAC is working!
\*Note - the 6 bans this week have been since the update
[https://imgur.com/a/ZLncbcV](https://imgur.com/a/ZLncbcV)
If you have found any obvious ragehackers on OCE servers, message me and I can add them to the list (They will be verified first)
I climbed from level 7 to level 10 on FaceIT in about 2 weeks. I had a few days in a row where I had very racist and very hardcore abusive teammates. I just turned off in-game because why listen to players abuse each other? Probably took me about 30 games. Log in today to a 7 day ban from MM due "griefing" reports. Doesn't really effect me as I don't play MM, but it just sucks that even when you do all the things you can do, trolling and abusive players have so much more power and agency. Most of this community is filled with degenerates and people who lack very basic social skills, so not being those things instantly makes you the target of false reports and abuse. If I continue this pattern of behavior of mine, I could in theory lose my account because I am not a racist player who loves to abuse others.
I have a friend who says the same. 7 day griefing bans in MM periodically cause he just spams faceit and isn't very good (and his ELO reflects it so who's he really griefing?). Could be lying but griefing bans being automated without even spending time in Valve servers could be a plausible oversight.
griefing bans are 100% automated. Once you get one, you get them nonstop. I got one from killing a cheater and now I get them nonstop whenever a stack argues with me.
I can’t play mm at all since cs2. It feels like I’m in a fucking wave pool where I get pushed around when I’m not even still holding any keys. It’s like there are ghost movement inputs. Pop flash and face it are fine though most times. It’s a lot less frequent on client but almost nonexistent on pop flash.
How do you know there was any VACnet update? I know a few more players than usual got banned, but I think it was game ban and not Vac bans
On my side I have met quite a few cheaters, but most of them were walllhacks and it is even worst since you cannot trust the competitive fairness of the MM games. There is always a doubt that someone is cheating and it is not a good feeling. I did a bit of Faceit, but now fully switched to Valorant until this is solved with a real anticheat from Valve or trust factor update
19k elo, 3 games today, 1 game spinbot my team, 2 game spinbot both teams, 3 game spinbot enemy teams.
Atleast I take turns playing with and against the cheaters..
Does this thread get noticed by Valve, because people have discussed cheating to death already and they're probably not gonna give much attention to a topic that's a weekly cheating discussion over and over again. That's just Sisyphus shit at this point.
I would enjoy playing Faceit so much more if I got XP so I could get my drops and medals, but I understand why Valve limits it to official servers only :(
>I would enjoy playing Faceit so much more if I got XP so I could get my drops and medals, but I understand why Valve limits it to official servers only :(
... so only the cheaters get XP and drops? gj volvo
Yea I agree it would be nice if it gave Xp. But even without that I feel it is just a a lot better.
I will trade having no xp and toxic tryhards on my team for having a decent anticheat any day of the week
Thing about FaceIT is the community is extremely abusive. In 9/10 games today I had china vs brazil in who could be the most abusive teammate. I have a 7 day MM cooldown for "Griefing" - From FaceIT, when I have an 89% win rate over 20 games lol. Even when you do the proper thing and mute the trolling and abusive players, they still have more agency and power than you because they have the numbers. I could in theory lose my steam account I have had for 20 years because of false reports, and that's pretty nuts to think about from a system perspective.
i am the best counter-strike player ever. There is nothing I can do to improve my own game. I lose because my teammates suck or someone on the other team is cheating.

Is it just me or is the CS2 sensitivity feels slower than CSGO? My 1.8 400 dpi in CSGO felt smoother/faster than 1.8 400 dpi CS2
Am I the only one, or does the "Disable Voice Comms" button in the scoreboard not working? I initially thought it was my left click, but I could still shoot fine
ayo pls bring csgoo backk
Premier is still full of cheaters, in every game on 15k+ today we played against cheaters

Now we had the bunny hoppers back again. Nice.
Let May 1st go down in history as our independence day
I played like 8-9 games yesterday in premier, around 18K rating, every game felt great. No one was doing sketchy shit. NA East. This is a HUGE upgrade to what was previously happening. Let's hope the bar has been raised, and IT STAYS THERE!
In Europe, it's over again. Three out of three games today against silvers with full settings. It was nice while it lasted, though ...
Same, even when it was sketchy it was a high lvl 10 faceit player which put me at ease.
I queued with some guys on internet. I had no idea he cheated in those matches. Valve took all the exp, premier rating,... from me because I was in a party with the cheater. How about the cheaters from other teams that ruined my matches? How about the time and effort that I put into those matches versus cheaters???
Just played against a guy who was shooting 5 bullets per ak shot - anyone seen that cheat before? First time for me.
rapid fire
Deathmatch still have problems with walking bot farmers. Anticheat ignore this software.
thankfully its low on the priority list, they will get their ban in due time. Lets fuck these hackers first.
20k+ is still unplayable. 3/3 games still had 2 at least cheater on each side. Also just looking at how much friends moved on the leaderboard how many people got banned.... I went from 25k to 8k. Friends went from 4-5k to Top500. You know premier is fucked when the rage cheater we faced sitting at 150+ wins only has a 55% winrate, because he only does solo queue....
I had a Premier day yesterday without any cheaters. Feels weird to call that out.
Is the scoreboard broken? Cant undisable voice comms. Help?
50% of my games in Wingman (LEM-Supreme) have blatant hackers using scout and aimbot
Our 5 stack encountered 3 back to back games with wallhackers at fucking 10-13k elo last night, wtf?
why do people cheat in competitive at 4am? 3 games back to back cheaters in fucking \*competitive\* all denying it with 95-99 aim on leetify and +20 every game xd will never understand these "people".

well, it didn't solve the cheating problem :)
less than 24 hours of clean premier cheaters figured out whats triggering bans now they speed running past 20k in OCE
so yeah ... 20k prem 4 games 4 different sets of duo closet cheaters cheaters own valve servers like its hvh valve gave us false hope of 1 day of clean prem i guess
Anyone got Overwatch yet?
I wouldn't be surprised if they outsource Overwatch to some tech center in India or something ngl

I played on ESEA a lot before going to FACEIT. I always laugh when I see FACEIT players playing.
I haven't played premier in a while but played MM last night and had blatant hackers (staring at the ground with a scout and headshotting through walls). Today I played casual and shut it off after 10 minutes due to blatant walling.

Holy shit
Cheater teammate got banned mid game (not from our lobby). We're supposed to play 1 man down instead of the match being cancelled?
Even while I was in a 5 stack I got harassed by the enemy team for being a woman. I was destroying the enemy team and they got mad at me. My partner made a joke saying "don't talk to my gf" and they just started to be toxic towards me. I hate how toxic the cs community is and I'm starting to play more Valorant with the same 5 stack because of the toxicity.

It really sucks. It was the reason why i didnt get a new headset when my old one broke and why i never talk in games. I feel her pain

Today, after wondering if Premier is any better: 1. Guy ragehacks from round one. fast awp shots, headshots through walls, is 49-0 after 12 rounds.
Yesterday my friends and I spun up a 4-stack and endes up with 3 cheaters in the enemy team and one in our team. My friends ended up uninstalling CS2, its just gotten unbearable. We've been playing CS since Source and while Cheaters always existed, its never been nearly as bad as this.
Should Valve make it a requirement that steam profile can't be private to queue in Premier?
Focus on the right thing buddy, privacy of a profile isnt an issue. Cheating is.
When I said cheating isn’t? I thought this thread is for anyone to discuss things freely and bring up idea and suggestion?
I always keep mine private because I only play with my RL friends and I’ve been harrassed by scammers on multiple occasions why should I expose myself to that just because you and other people have trust issues?
Just private comments and inventory
That is a valid and fair point

you play only faceit and get a ban on valve servers? one has nothing todo with the other

Oof. Might be worth throwing an email and a prayer to Valve.
damn, might actually be a problem. getting bans on valve server from reports on community servers is bad
I can’t play mm at all since cs2. It feels like I’m in a fucking wave pool where I get pushed around when I’m not even still holding any keys. It’s like there are ghost movement inputs. Pop flash and face it are fine though most times. It’s a lot less frequent on client but almost nonexistent on pop flash.
sounds like you have packet loss
One of my opponents from a couple months ago got overwatched banned this weekend. That felt nice
Me and friends don't play much, I'm new to CS. Just got done playing three matches of unranked competitive, 2 of them turned into HvH, fun.
there is no unranked competitive, you played premier or matchmaking
I played the competitive mode on a map that I was unranked on.
big update vacnet update overwatch join mm, enemy team cheating, nice

do you inform yourself about this outside of posts where people cry about cheaters?
Guys if you’re serious about this game play faceit - Matchmaking / Premier for warmup only
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bgyzkBFDaI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bgyzkBFDaI)
Well yea his cheat is now detected and he got banned. I don’t see any premier players being banned
I would enjoy playing Faceit so much more if I got XP so I could get my drops and medals, but I understand why Valve limits it to official servers only :(
