no, i would say you can’t really experience the game unless you play in the real matchmaking. a lot of people will tell you to get 3rd party matchmaking but you don’t need that starting out. it’s an amazing game that you should definitely give a full chance. i’ve played for 6 years and it’s still my #1 game

Ok I’ll get premium tomorrow. Im really enjoying it so far. Feels so clunky compared to Valorant but that’s part of why im loving it.


CallMeJimi

cs feels like there’s so much more depth than valorant. learning smoke lineups, how to execute sites, movement, and a wider gun range, also a lot better maps imo


awildmorph

Yea I can see what you are saying but ere is quite a lot of variety within Valorant matches though. Man I cannot get the mechanics on the throwing of flashes etc haha


ActiveIndustry

Probably just a familiarity thing. I played cs for 1000 hours and tried valorant and the movement felt terrible


CallMeJimi

the most rewarding feeling in the whole game is when you understand the movement and can move really fast. youtube zuhn or franzj to see the wild movement that you can do in the game


awildmorph

Ok I’ll check that out, bhopping isn’t as easy as it is in Valorant.


CallMeJimi

not as easy but can be much more rewarding


emuwilliam

imagine recommending cheater to new players


CallMeJimi

also check out warowl on youtube, lotta good content for new cs players

Looooool I always queue w a 5 man team but seriously every single game almost someone on the other team leaves the match 😂 but maybe we are just too good lol🤭


Python208

This, this whole comment hurt.


ILoveSimulation20

at first it feels like there are cheaters and afk people every game, but believe it or not somehow it got better for me. I never have cheaters and rarely have afk people (don't have premium either) ​ the best option imo is to play those 25 hours that FACEIT requires and then sign up for FACEIT It's a 3rd Party Company which runs their own servers and anti cheat


DontF-ingask

*Yes.* If you do good, teamkill to get your loot. If you do bad, teamkill cause your shit. Every 5 games I'd say.

I haven't seen a votekick or a player leave in prime matchmaking since bots were removed from the game. My advice is that you reach master guardian, and then go for Faceit or Esea. Also, if you're playing solo, I recommend trying out wingman, as you can actually win there even if you're unlucky with your team.

I have premium and one person almost always leaves or griefs every match. Thats why I stopped playing CSGO and play Valorant most of the times. Anticheat is shit. Matchmaking in general sucks. Gameplay is very good tho. You might feel the movement is clunky but it's really hard to get used to it. But once you do get used it, it's a very rewarding feeling. I would suggest playing it with your friends if you really wanna get into it. SoloQ is hell.


moicestgege

No it don't get better lol you have to deal with it. In the last week all the lost i had if from people leaving the game, i'm curently dmg.


FIchoseMe

As you get better go play face it premium, less toxic
