Playing with people way above my rank was the fastest way to improving. If you want to train your friends to be better you'll just eat the bullet and lose some matches for them.

They just want to play a few games, they're not really playing to learn. Yet they can still play MM's among themselves but when I'm there it doesn't really adjust the MM accordingly. Basically me and my DMG friends play together sometimes and once in a while these 3 other guys come along and we just get destroyed. While they might learn, we'd have to get our asses kicked a lot before it happened. They have trouble getting more than 5 kills a game so it's hard to teach them to trade kills

Hell, even I can barely get kills because I'm actually a shit player with shit aim but I can be effective when working as part of a team.

Buy a smurf, keep it at a rank to play specifically with your friends. ?? Not sure what the problem is.

I already have 2 accounts, and I never said it was a problem. It was initially a question (post above), then an explanation as well as a response to his suggestion that they might learn. Is that ok for you, milord?

Sure.

Yeah 5man premades are matched against the highest rank in the party. If you're lem with 4 silvers, you'll be matched against 5 LEM's~.
Fucking sucks, but it kinda works against boosting. I just get flamed for smurfing or toggled against when I play with my buddies :<

So what does everyone think about the NA roster shuffle ? It's kinda sad that Liquid is completely breaking up after FaceIT. They had so much potential but maybe it's for the better.

Also C9 definitely has the most pull in the NA scene right now even if they have the worst results.

Liquid is breaking up? Where did you get that?
And C9 definitely has the LEAST pull in NA. If they don't disband they'll end up being a Tier 3 team for the rest of their lives.

Tarik's stream where the pros we basically playing 5v5 stacks. Also money/popularity wise C9 has the most pull easily in NA.

I am watching his stream now, looks like gold nova level to me. Seriously, I dunno if he is drunk or something, but he plays absolutely terrible.

He's drunk out of his mind and he plays on 120fps. He has pretty sick aim in all honesty

I couldn't really care less about my rank, so I don't think I'd play much of unranked competitive mode. I think the non-competitive version is pretty awful though

Valve doesn't give a shit about this game, other than skins. Majority of the things in CS:GO is inferior to Dota in terms of UI, matchmaking(in terms of balancing teams and smurfs), hack etc..
I don't understand why they don't implement things that are already exist in Dota.

They can still make the non-competitive mode 5v5 instead of 10v10 lol. Maps are not big enough to handle that much people.

That seems completely false according to this.

When we play with friends whose ranks go from silver to DMG, we don't get 5 DMG in the opposing team, but most of the time, we get spread ranks, or an average of GN2/3.

My intention is and offer to reduce the smurfs which plague lower brackets. If you have lower skilled friends, go the the unranked 5v5 in where everyone basically can play with everyone without thinking the e-peen and no league restrictions. I rank up a lot nowadays and I fear that I might not play with my close friends if I rank up a few more.

Maybe they're doing the same thing. Last time I played, it was
LEM, DMG, GN2, GN1, Silver5 (or something)
vs.
LE, LE, LE, DMG, DMG

You have to have a full stack if the ranks are too spread out.

Was just playing CSGO Matchmaking - Currently Supreme.
Then suddenly 7-2 ingame, I get kicked to the lobby with the shitties shit.

: An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers. :

Then it gives me the biggest list of things to do.
I manage to do 95% of all the things suggested, try to reconnect and still fails.
Try to make the last resort, to bad, been away from the match to long, 30min CD.
Steam has to be the worst "platform" to play on. WHY the fuck not give me time to fix it. No wonder no1 plays MM, when you can play on Faceit, ESEA, cevo etc which you atleast have a chance to play!
