Why would it be crazier than people cheating in global elite?
Maybe it's because they just started cheating

I feel your pain though ><

the other day some guy in my team started toggling wallhack/aimbot, i tried a vote to kick him but of course there is always this guy who f2 because he only cares when the cheater is an opponent...
Halfway through the game the cheater got "kicked by console, account untrusted" (his steam profile was new with only 2 hours played) vac banned.
Cool to know they don't always get away with hundreds/thousands of hours played before getting caught

Some remarks about the ladder system:

Ranking up with a loss is definitely possible (it's also possible in sc2 btw). There could be different reasons for this. For example, the game could only consider the last *x* amount of matches played, and if your x-th loss was against higher rated players than your 1st loss in that sequence, your average rating would still increase. Or like others stated, maybe it's just server lag or opponents getting VAC'ed.

Individual stats are either irrelevant or veryyy lightly weighted. When I started playing csgo I only played together with a friend, I got ~40 frags every map and he got like 5, we still ended up in the same rank 30 games later. I know, anecdotal evidence and all, but that obviously would never happen if personal stats were important.

If you go on a winning streak you can rank up multiple times in a row. When I started solo-ing I won 13 games in a row in DMG, then every win after that I got instantly promoted, so GE after 4 more wins.

I dunno why, but every game I server top, win half lose half, still stuck in silver 3. LEM friend says I should be high nova at least.

Completely new to Counter Strike, been playing CS:GO for 2-3 months now, I finally just hit Gold Nova definitelly felt good to get away from that pesky silver rank. (No doubt I'll lose my first game and drop back down)

Edit: Make that Gold Nova 2! (Ranking in this game is strange some times)

Top frag doesn't mean much for your rating. If you're winning 50% of your games, then it makes sense that you'd stay at the same rank.

I feel like it's been pointless to rank up when I hit LEM in November and have been ESEA-ing to improve since early December. Anyone else in the same boat?

better servers, better games, and access to scrimming/league play. Why not?

MM is really pointless if you can hold your own in esea pugs and actually want to start playing competitive.

I've probably played 2 mm's in the past 7 months and probably will never play another.

I've been a DMG forever. It's hard to rank up from DMG to Eagle. I don't necessarily care about the rank, but it'd be nice to be an Eagle.

It's especially odd as it seems only NA servers have issues, I don't play a lot of MM but EU servers rarely have had problems.

Got Gold Nova 3 back today, mostly due to the wonderful Censured, ArtyK and TurboDreams from TL here who I queued with. So, so much fun to play with good, calm and coordinated players. It's a different game compared to solo queue.

You know what they say, MM is just the tip of the iceberg.
