Just bought the game three days ago, halfway done through first 10 competitive rounds.

This is definitely going to be a keeper.

Yeah, but that's tofucake's smurf, and his main rank is double ak/badge anyways so it wouldn't have affected him that much.

This matching is bound to happen when you play with friends with higher differences in rank, or the other team is playing with friends with higher differences in rank. You force MM to match you with others with those ranks. The opposing team's LEM looks to be having a bad day as well, since he wasn't top fragging.

This usually happens because the legendary eagle master is queued with the low rank person. It seems the MMR system likes to balance that against other large MMR range parties. As in, the system doesn't just add up everyone's individual MMR and match it against another team with the same total MMR, but instead tries to match similar team compositions.

Not really. There's a lot of cheaters in mm right now and now that the esea client works again there really isn't a reason to mm unless you want to 4-5 stack with friends.

Dont play with randoms/ start to play vs nonrandoms. CS becomes more of a teamgame the higher you climb, since pure aim isnt enough at one point. Try to play with a somewhat konsistent team (doesnt always have to be the exact same guys, but like 5 out of 15) and start playing against teams that are non random/just partial random sinceit is very hard to improve while playing only vs weaker opponents (source: history of most NA-based E-sports teams/players. If there isnt a big enough scene in NA, those teams usually struggle more to compete against EU)

I use my alt to solo queue when I want to play but none of my friends are on. And it shows the difference. We kicked the 5th on our team (in that ss) because all he did was buy a deagle then run at the enemy and immediately die, even when the rest of us told him to stop being an idiot. We still tied. It's hard being support or entry when the rest of your team is being stupid.

Entry is the worst. You go in, do well but have noone following you up so land up just dying for nothing.

Just play for picks when you solo queue. Most of the time you aren't gonna have the teamwork to take over a site anyway. Easier to just let everyone do what they want so long as they aren't trolling teammates.

I bought the game during Autumn sale.

Can someone tell me what actions are bannable by the system (competitive) ?
Apparently, a guy can knife2 me down while running from the start.
But I cannot kill that faggot at the next round?

You're only allowed to do a certain amount of damage before you get kick/banned for 30 mins at first offense. Best thing to do in that situation is to suck it up and just report the guy for griefing. He'll eventually get banned by overwatch. Ofc it's not the same satisfying feeling because you don't see it happen, but it will only make him enjoy it more to see you get kicked for revenge tk.

If you really want to kill him, do it during the middle of the round when you're out of spawn. I don't think you can do too many consecutive hits, so at most, just follow him and bait him, or just shoot him in the back of the head as he's engaging the other team. But note he could also report you for griefing and you can get banned by overwatch too.

Depends on when/where you kill the guy. If you kill a teammate in your spawn you get kicked right away. Otherwise there's a certain amount of "accidental damage" you can do before getting banned.
You're like a one ranger army comin' at me...

Hehe, yeah that was me
It was de_nuke before the transporter (dont even know if you can hide in it in CS:GO; the one before you leave the gates) on T spawn where he dmged me with the knife.
Next round I killed him immediately as he was coming knifing at me in the spawn.

Just found it strange since (to me) there is no "accidental damage" within the first 10-20sec of the match (depending on the map / location of course).

That's not true. I knife people in the back all the time accidentally when we're running out of spawn. :p

Yeah I found out if you aim directly up at the sky and knife it will connect with your team mate in front of you, and he will not be very happy
