Be good and don't be a dick. It's not possible to carry every game. It's not possible to win games where every round you're forced to clutch 1v3 or 1v4. That's why. It's not "quite simple." Sure, if you're a pro player it's simple, other than that you're depending on your team, that's why it is a team game. The skill variance in MM makes it much more difficult to rank up in solo queue than if you queue with all your friends who are equally as good as you. It's like you don't understand how matchmaking works or something. | ||

I have attributed this to the fact that I'm very quiet and never rage so people don't tilt and troll. Not saying he's a dick but he calls out people when they fuck up and then they get angry or whatever and stop trying as hard. Or they start knifing you a bit before every round. Or they get enough votes and kick you because they' decide today's the day to be a huge dickwad. Just knowing how to not piss people off (thanks years of dota) can lead to a higher winrate. I think so too, also it is just a game and you still can go up the ranks even if you lose some matches. | ||

The skill variance in MM makes it much more difficult to rank up in solo queue than if you queue with all your friends who are equally as good as you. It's like you don't understand how matchmaking works or something. It really is that simple. Skill variance isn't any more extreme in solo MM than it is when queuing with friends. Everyone has a matchmaking rating that is reasonably accurate after playing a sizeable number of games. In fact, the variance in skill on your team is the most extreme when queuing with friends because they might be a way higher or way lower rank than you, resulting in a bigger spread in skill in both teams. If they're not a significantly different rank than you, when you solo queue you will get someone else with an equivalent rating to them, which is the same thing as playing with your friend. The only difference playing with friends makes is that you get to know their habits. You know certain things about them without needing to check and you generally have better communication. Those are helpful but they definitely don't affect your affect the quality of the pubs that you get on your team nor the quality of your opponents. The amount that that benefit would contribute to your current rating is minimal, especially compared to your raw skill. | ||

It's like you don't understand how matchmaking works or something. You don't need to carry every game, you need to carry enough games to improve your rank. Some games you carry your team. Some games someone else carries your team. Sometimes all of your team pulls their weight. Other times you lose. You don't need a 100% win rate to move up the ranks, you just need one that is > ~50%. | ||

Just my experience, but I feel my friends have similar experiences as me. It's certainly a LOT better than it used to be. | ||

its obvious. On October 16 2013 07:01 Maedi wrote: I do matchmaking pretty regularly, at a higher ranking. I'd say 1 or 2 of the games I play out of 10 are cheater games. Pretty good odds! Just my experience, but I feel my friends have similar experiences as me. It's certainly a LOT better than it used to be. what is your rank? right now i've ran into 2 cheaters in like 8 pugs but before it was honestly once every 2-3 pugs. i've honestly never really matchmaked because i prefer to play esea pugs instead but its a bit more fun to play with friends and i normally can't play with more than 1 on esea due to rws sorting. | ||

Of course!! :D WINTOWN~ And my main is hyundai (below global elite), almost global elite, and my alt account is double eagle. (Yeah, fuck whatever Valve calls their ranks) I basically stopped doing ESEA pugs because if I'm going to play something like that I'd rather just play with friends. I only use ESEA strictly for scrims/League play. | ||

Is it? I would say that a least 80% of all players that are called out cheaters are not or simply better in skill, or premades that communicate better. I was watching some reviews yesterday and some "suspects" were not even good, and far from cheating, it's laughable to report them in the first place. Sometimes I feel that the CS community degenerates to the likes of the CoD community, where ppl are accusing others of cheaters when they just play better. | ||

Yeah, I remember the time when I was playing on a pub server (one of my favouries in 1.6) and suddenly Gore appeared ^^ We checked his Steam ID with the ESL profile and it was him! only playing with the deagle and shooting noobs in the face. :D And he was legit, most ppl were watching him play for mouz sports every weekend. | ||

I read some places that cl_updaterate interp etc should be changed but these articles are from 2012. Does this still apply? Also, it actually seems like i cannot change them for whatever reason when typing it into the console for whateveer reason. you can only change interp and updaterate if you're at the main menu. the console restricts you if you change them mid match. here's some essential commands: cl_interp 0 cl_interp_ratio 1 cl_disablefreezecam 1 m_rawinput 0 | ||
