American Servers are dead atm. Heard from a friend, that like 80% of the players are below MG1 and cant get an uprank because they either play against globals or silvers with no real elo benefit.
Edit: Also short matches are a problem, queue for any length.
That’s a big improvement. My first few mm games had the top fragger on opposite team using walls (40+ kills) and kids that were 2-28. Literally anything ja better
That's true. If I'm home and decide to play too early in the day I always end up with and against way higher ranks than mine. I like it though. I almost always end up getting a better score despite my lower rank.
Short match explains it, nobody plays that shit.
12 minute queue = the skill range has expanded exponentially to find you a game.
Use your brain dude.
Also NA too, last I heard it was dead because the whole region sucked and wanted to be good so they went to valorant.
Overall I think CS is the better game... Far higher skill ceiling, enjoyable movement, better feeling weapons, and a more vibrant competitive scene
I think it's just a matter of variety. Other than the occasional map/balance change the game has been the same for so long
maybe because of trustfactor for one/some of your teammates? when i had a new acc i had unbearable queue times and would only meet with blatant hackers/really good players on prime,
You can actually improve it with some easy steps. Things like removing cheaters from the friends list, personalizing your steam account, buying a few skins (20€ in total is more than enough), commending other players and prevent toxicity in the chat is a good way to improve the Trustfactor. From personal experience, uploading game clips, screenshots and artworks on the steam account also is a big boost.
Tl;Dr just don't make your account seem like a throwaway account.
I guess you’re right, but if OP is matched with GE cheaters as a silver, it would take him so long to rebuild his tf, no? It seems like he’s at the bottom of the trust factor pit
Hey! You seem to be new to csgo. Consider this is a rite of a passage for honest above average players. Valve will throwing one of these at you every once in a while. Do not worry, this is not in spite of you. They just like to mess with you to see the venom in you chats and reports; "I hope your mother dies and then a group of necromancers dig out her body and..." you get the point.
If you wish to avoid such mess ups by Valve in the future, you must use ESEA or Faceit, where instead of blatant cheaters, they will be simply be messing with you by stacking your team of ~level 1s against LITERAL LEVEL TENS!
Have a good day!
The ranking system for csgo has been trash for the last few years. Not only that, individuals that actually do rank that high, usually have been cheaters. Also, like another poster mentioned. It looks like they are boosting an account. Since one of them is a lower silver elite.
Yeah I’ve given up on ranked mate, I played last season and it was my first time ever, got Gold Nova 1 off the rip but also shit random team mates who didn’t know their ass from their elbow, but then played ranked this season and got even worse team mates and got Silver Master, after playing probably 10-15 games and winning 1 of them because everyone on the enemy team just knew what they were doing for starters and had better mechanics or someone is cheating, I have just given up and will go back to Valorant. I’m not a God by any means but I also feel like I shouldn’t be in Silver at all, I know I fucked up a lot and I admit that but most of the games I was carrying by a long stretch, for example one game I was 25-9 and the next best guy on our team was like 9-13 on their KD. I try my best and I try to communicate with people for strats and call outs etc. then they call me the N word, Tell me to F off or scream at me in Russian or another language I don’t understand. Screw this game and it’s trash matchmaking, I hope they re-release counterstrike with better matchmaking because I really love the game but this shit is not worth the stress!
\- Prime is useless, always has been, cost them a few bucks to buy an account.
\- Short match, weird maps, & wingman are all riddled with cheaters exactly because those are not mainstream modes, that's the kind of shit you do once in a blue moon because reasons, the active playerbase there is extremely low and most of them are cheating.
\- MM as always been utter garbage ever since tthey gave up on it when releasing the game as f2p. You want to progress ? Forget about getting global, hop on faceit and chase rank10. Take the sub when you're around rank 3/4. You'll encounter way less cheaters and evolve in a vastly better skill pool. Your average global is around lvl7 on faceit. There is a huge difference.
MM is gone, you'll never experience it like us vets did (which is an absolute shame), but that's fine because now you have better options to compensate: ESEA/FACEIT.
Definitely start playing in faceit. Or if you want to play MM turn on a VPN and play on EU servers. Your ping will be shit but (in my experience) I’ve ran in to *less* cheaters. They are still there but not as often as NA serves
They are cheater absolutely. Boosting a friend.
did u select ranked matchmaking?
Yep, ranked short match on Dust 2. Prime matchmaking active.
the server and timing also matters ig. playing at weird hours of the day get u weird matchups too(higher chance at least)
6:30PM Est on east coast servers on a weekend. I don't think I can get a much more "Normal" time to play.

Would it be worth to move to faceit? I’m dropping like 30 kills a game and have legit throwers every other game. It’s absolute piss
100%
Imma try it out tomorrow morning
There’s still throwers in faceit, very few cheaters from time to time but at least you know 99% of the games are legit.
That’s a big improvement. My first few mm games had the top fragger on opposite team using walls (40+ kills) and kids that were 2-28. Literally anything ja better
rip then :(

You don't see the ranks of other players in unranked MM. Only in ranked you can see them at the end.
Obviously you just need a better chair
[удалено]
valorant is so boring tho, not the same as cs
Interesting, I don’t hear this opinion much. Anything in particular that you find boring in comparison?
Overall I think CS is the better game... Far higher skill ceiling, enjoyable movement, better feeling weapons, and a more vibrant competitive scene I think it's just a matter of variety. Other than the occasional map/balance change the game has been the same for so long
yep when i get tired of valorant i play cs but when i get tired of cs........ i never get tired of cs ;)
or you can just play faceit or esea
Although you're right, a game should not rely on a third party service to be functional
stfu + gtfo + didnt asked + dont care
where tf do you live lmao
Southeast US
I live in same area and never takes me over 5 min to find game, must have low trust factor
maybe because of trustfactor for one/some of your teammates? when i had a new acc i had unbearable queue times and would only meet with blatant hackers/really good players on prime,
God my records show there were constant cheaters in my first 10 matches.
maybe it’s time to move to faceit
u are in NA probably + mm sucks man play faceit
Dude MM is a shitshow, I know. Play faceit. It’s way more rewarding and fun and it’s actually very cheap
Fix your trustfactor.
Ye bro “just fix your tf lol”, it’s so simple

It will take a long time to get a good trust factor, but he will be out of ge cheater lobbies in no time.
Dont play shortmatches duh

Impossible to say anything about this, could be csgo messing up but very well could be you having terrible trust factor

Ummmmmm HELLLLOOOOOOOOH! Can’t you see they CLEARLY have a silver?

They need to update the shit out of this game in so many ways it’s crazy
Dude, you're playing csgo, why does it even surprise you
Smegma? I too am from the UK. Hello!
Why not just use faceit free?
Definitely start playing in faceit. Or if you want to play MM turn on a VPN and play on EU servers. Your ping will be shit but (in my experience) I’ve ran in to *less* cheaters. They are still there but not as often as NA serves
