Start baiting your teammates and just mop up the rest of kills. Also, if your team is awping that means the other team is probably awping as well. Abuse flashes and smokes to take down awpers

I hate it when ppl troll on those '1v1 death battlezone' maps.. it's like judas is this the main reason some ppl play or something? Christ... Seriously, Steam servers should post like 'No Trolls Allowed This Means You' signs on their bulletin boards or something.. Dude I did not graduate in biomed engineering for this.

Sometimes you need to a good at baiting or I like to call it the Human Meat Shield. It will make your teammates happy.

Well, clearly he's not carrying his team with just raw aim, so either he gets his aim game up or that

The other times everyone just spreads out on the map DM style and starts flaming in to the third round and when we eventually win a round everyone buys AWP without armor or anything even though they are clueless with it and just end up handing them out to the opposition(a reason I never buy awp is that I am aware how useless I would be with it).

I try to organise sessions with friends but with jobs and families its really hard and its a shitty feeling when I get around to playing CS that the team experience is so bad. I have never left a competitive match or initiated a kick vote because I don't want to ruin the game for others and myself with a 5v4.

Does anyone have a surefire way to mentally overcoming the drag that this causes? Cheers.
If it's bad for you, it would be just as worse for the other team. Don't know where you live to get such awful odds though. Anyways, I have a hard time believing that your odds for a reasonable game is 1 in 5; you are setting your standards way too high for a "reasonable" game. Unless you live in Russia. In which case my condolences.

-communicate: Way too high standards lol. Be happy if they don't communicate; at least they aren't distracting you, clogging your audio with rubbish, or giving bad information. Bad information is much much worse than no information always. You can infer a lot from watching your team, listening, and radar. It's not optimal, but it is not what is holding you back from improving or gaining rank either. As long as you yourself give short and precise information when it is needed, your chance of winning goes up anyways.

-are familiar with the concept of eco: Some AKs don't even eco properly. It's not even worth complaining about.

-do not start begging to get kicked after 2 lost rounds/start screaming at the top of their lungs (I am hesitant to block them because there is a chance they'll calm down and have actual useful things to say): bet you wish they didn't communicate now, eh? Seriously though block them and tell them they are muted. You'll probably be less depressed that way.

-is friendly/forgiving for noob mistakes, it is nova I after all- why do you need their friendliness or forgiveness. They are all bound to be around the same rank as you though you might get the odd Legendary Eagle or whatever. Not that it matters. CS GO is inherently a game where mistakes are forced to happen to either side. Just follow the above advice and carry on.

Ultimately, you set your expectations way too high, there shouldn't be any problems to improve or advance to AK by soloing. What could help is that whenever you do find people on your team you do like, add them to your friends list, and if they are playing cs go, ask them to play together.

Unfortunately in these scenarios, best thing to do would just be communicate despite the silence and mute the people who are getting on your nerves and ignore them. They're going to be toxic, arguing with them will fuck up YOUR game, and you're only going to performance worse as a result. Talk to the people who are willing to talk, and hope to god the toxic player just focuses on playing the game instead of trying to TK/quit the game. I know it probably is hard if you just keep talking and nothing works out, but I think unless you take initiative, most people won't.

If the games keep staying toxic though, honestly it might be best for you to just hold off on the competitive unless you have a stack of friends you're willing to play/put up with.

I just played against a guy who played for like 49-18, we still won, about 90% of his kills were headshots. Insanely fast, prefire headshots. His rank: MG2... but he had 835 hours played in CSGO... wtf?

You can leave the game open, afk on special servers than even give achievs, or just start hacking late. Game time isn't an indicator of legitness :D (seen a video of a 2K+ hours guy hacking, seen a guy aim bot on an aim map with 550+..)

And I got kicked. And the dude who started the kick vote killed me at the start of round 16 and got a 24-hour ban. Best possible outcome.
