Honestly, if you land in silver/novas just mute other people (as soon as they show signs that they'll be annoying). Enjoy playing the game individually. If you've got a lot of experience it's gonna kick in eventually, and you should climb rather quickly.

If you cannot play in Prime mode right away, you will face more hackers though. I'd recommend not getting upset, and just making your way to Prime (I think it's experience level 21 + a phone number). Once you're in Prime, it gets way less of an issue (I currently barely face hackers at LEM level). Your mileage may vary depending on your region though.

On the topic of ranks, still stuck at LEM (I don't invest much in MM though), and I feel I play like shit in MM, even though I know from scrims we do with friends that I can do better. I still haven't figured exactly why.

It feels like my prime matchmaking filled with whiners which asking to kick em since game start.
Well at least every second game ends less then 10 players, rank double AK's (don't remember the actual name)
And some players put so much effort to ruin others ppl exp by killing mates, doing shit and saying "I don't care", I can hardly imagine more toxic teamgames :D

Yeah very toxic environment. Just mute them all tbh and play individually even at higher ranks.

So I am doing my placement matches on ESEA atm and I got carryed hard so far. So far that I get pitted against A-/A/A+ players (last game I played with the real KQLY) and I am DEFINITLY not on that level. Getting less than 10 frags every time and 2 or 3 RWS per game is really unsatisfying. I hope the system realizes fast that I am not on that level. I mean it is no fun for the other 9 legit A players, but it ain't fun for me either -_-. After getting smashed three times, I went to play Supreme MM and won and topfragged ... ESEA is hard :D

I forgot about this thread. Thanks for the bump.


I played a lot of CS GO so far this year up until this month being an exception (I play League of Legends now mostly)

I had decayed down to SE but worked my way up to GN2, but I've been stuck at that rank for three years now (Ever since the rank drop down in 2015 with the ladder percentage rework, I was GNM before that)

Now I don't know if I wanna keep going at it or no.

Either way it's still fun.

Almost hit 500 hours.

Do something today that your future self will be thankful for.

Heh, I have 350 hours purely Casual. Never played a ranked game. Mostly because my kids sometimes have nightmares and then I'm the one to calm them down, so I might have to leave the game at any time.

Perhaps next time the kids are with their grandparents for 2 weeks, I'm gonna take a shot.

Almost a year since last post, lol. CS don't die on me.


I'm getting a little tired of constantly coming back and seeing my rank being reset to SE or SEM, but at the same time I can see why. Just had a game today against a full team of Gold 2 & 3's. It was actually funny cause I was scratching my head like crazy in that match and wondering wtf this silver game was, cause I kept getting 1 tapped by these damn pistol and every time one of the CT's got an AK we kept going down to 1 tap headshots with that gun too.

Then at the end (we lost 7-16 on abbey) I saw the ranks and i finally understood why. xD

First time I got SMFC I lost it like two games later.

Been back to SMFC in the last couple weeks, but this time it stuck :D

Let's hope we can get to global one day, would be cool!

Is anybody playing MM casually (with Trust factor ofc) on Europe? I used to play only alone, got to LEM, but stopped playing for a couple of months. Would be interesting to try with TL folks.

I'd be up for that, although I mostly enjoy CS when going with 4 team mates to be honest. Could try and invoke the meme master™ and some of the old gang.

Count me in, a couple of competitive maps in a friendly invironment on weekends (and maybe other days evenings) - is a good thing.
