You will, because it matches you against opponents of your rank. The more you play the more it will adjust, up or down :-) But the 2 wins/day limit will go away once you get a rank ^^

Ranking up is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do.

And now I'm getting cued up against people who have 150 ping and live across the world on USW servers. No reg, rubberbanding, and I can feel another derank coming soon. Silvers, make some space, I'm gonna try and squeeze in.

I'm in silver 1, the system put me here since I haven't been playing fps games for years, this is fine.
However I had a positive winrate since I got the rank and 2 days ago I won 10 games in a row with being at least the 2nd best player and still no promotion in sight.

I'm in silver too, topfragging, and yeah it takes time. Can't say I'm really looking forward to promotion, the game is less stressful at lower levels and having a high k/d ratio feels rewarding. So enjoy it while it lasts. My personal theory is that the ELO rankings (or whatever they use) are much more diverse at silver (like it is the case in sc2 for bronze), so naturally it takes more wins for a promotion. I also think it depends on the server. East Europe is really packed I assume? So the ELO distribution is larger there, hence diversity at silver larger too.

Used to be Cal-M+ in CS1.6

Took years off, just got into GO six months ago. Immediately went into ranked, got placed GN2. Felt awful.

After a few weeks of training, steadily ranked up to DMG. Had a LAN weekend with friends (old CS buddies from highschool), slowly deranked "playing for fun" with them to GN4.

I haven't touched ranked since then.

So after the 10 games i directly came into Silver 4.
Played no CS:S and 1.6 for about 400 hours on steam at total over 5 years ago. Most other FPS on Xbox.

Hard times where hard for but damn I have been carried by random match making:
3 Victorys in a row because some random smurfs in my random team in random match making, made me Silver E., again the same and i have been Silver E.M.
It took some days till have gotten a 9 games no lose streak (8 wins, 1 remis) to become G.N. 1.
And now I am sitting in Nova 2, getting killed left and right, my K-D-Ratio falls appart, I play with my 115hours CS:GO experience against and with either high class smurfs or Players who playing this game for donkey years, most over 500-1000 hours and alot more on CS:S. I am really falling appart but still my teams win, I fear to rank up more.

I dont get this system. I startet to adept on Silver E.M., but I defently need alot more games till I can competete in Nova 2, but I feel i gonna uprank soon again.

None of us understands the ranking system because if we did understand it, then we would game the system for a higher rank. Just focus on your own skills and let your rank be an after thought
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

I'm back to eagle again yay :D

Been winning a LOT of games lately, even ones I had no business winning. For example, my team went 4 - 11 on CT side of cobble, and we ended up winning 16 - 14.
For some reason im also doing pretty good in those games (I even topfragged playing against a supreme), but maybe its because i've been playing more lately. I've also been duoqueuing instead of soloqueuing and this helps a lot.

Duoqueuing is great, and playing a lot is super important. If you make sure to DM every single day, you'll stay sharp. It's when you take 4 or 5 days off that you start to suck.

I have been bouncing between MGE and Badge for about a year, My play is that inconsistent. I have been Eagle once for about 3 days lol didn't win a single game after I ranked up to it. I also always play solo which may account for my inconsistency. I hear people that do premades and work good together rank up a lot faster.

And after LWWLLWWW while bottomfragging nearly everytime except the last win, I'm back in my natural shithole : DMG. I don't even get how this ranking works lol. Win streaks ? Why ?! :-D

My ultimate goal is still LEM, but with two matches a week and sometimes weeks without playing, I'm not counting on it anymore -_- My aim feel like it's never been worse. I used to get 55% Headshots now it's more 35 :/

Dude, nova is hard. I ranked up my main to LEM, then stopped playing for a bit (cause exams and WoW), only deathmatching and such. Recently I played a few games on another account with a gold nova 3 friend. There are so many smurfs because of valve's anti-boosting system that some nova games almost feel like DMG >.<
