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 >.< I'm not gonna lie, as a Gold Nova 3 it feels SO good to hear that haha. Yay for delusions!  | ||

Maybe it is because nova people do really random things (pushing through smokes etc) people pushing through smokes has caught me out so many times in nova :| | ||

Have not played that much in a month since sc2 release I think. It's not even a top FPS game for me. Gameplay wise I like RTCW, ET, q3, warsow and CoD 2 all more but matchmaking is just so convenient and ranking up is fun. No more organizing clanwars on IRC like in ET times where getting a match going sometimes took 30+ minutes. Or Warsow which sometimes didn't have a single duel server worldwide with people on it and you had to join an empty server and wait 10 minutes for someone to join (I just have to smile when people call BW or SC2 a dead game :D ) Anyway I got placed in silver 2 and today got promoted to gold nova 4 in exactly 80 wins. Something I noticed is that I am just average in standard situations but quite good in pistol rounds and when I am the last one alive in 1v3 situation or so. I guess it is from previous FPS experience that my aiming is relatively better then others in my skillgroup but I lack experience. | ||

But sadly, i stopped playing it when i got into college  | ||

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. No idea what's happening, I have ~105 wins and I just got silver 3 even though I'm winning like 8 games out of 10. Could be cause I'm playing solo but this seems really slow (maybe this is normal I don't even know) and it doesn't really feel rewarding to me when I'm killing people who constantly keep their crosshairs on the ground and can't react in time etc. | ||

I played with my Nova friend before the change to the MM system so we were against a bunch of 3-4 stars and they play so weirdly it catches me off guard. I think perhaps one of the worst things is you can't rely on your teammates because they won't hold their angles, they just won't. As CT, they'll drop your back without saying anything and they'll retreat until there's no where for them to run and they'll die there. It's difficult to carry a GN team because you have to rely in your shooting. Now I'm LEM and my shooting is absolute garbage, I'm winning solely off of positional play and a general loose awareness of what's happening in the map. I'll outgun GNs most of the time but I can't play like a COD player and just flick everyone because I have to watch 3 spots at once. | ||

Feeling good. EZ GAME. Thats how i came from nothing over Silver IV to Gold Nova 2. Random Games, no premade teams, allways smurfs in my team or enemy team. Bam Gold Nova 2 after 40 wins. Now I am back in Gold Nova 1, but I still do not belong there. The amount of 1k hours gamers or smurfs is so high, it is like rolling a dice and you feel no impact on a game whatsoever. I hope I am soon back to Silver where I belong for the moment, the amount of smurfs is much lower, they just rank up 2 fast. Valve should just put all the "got only CS:GO or the got two 0.2 hours f2p games + CS:GO" accounts in a own League while not letting em know. But hey, every smurf account is a sold coppy. The Problem is, these players are mostly the worst mannered players on the servers, they flame enemys, teammates and whatever else, they start votekicks in round 2 because you couldnt get the 1vs4 in the eco round. Shure I should not complain so much, but damn, it gets on your nerves, because noone of them has good manners, they all flame and start votekicks for nothing in earliest rounds. And then you have servers in MM which give you damn hard lags... But hey, it is called Mad Making for reason. As soon as I am back in Silver VI, the promissed lands will be there. | ||

Game 1: All AK and Double AK, ok, this is where I was before leaving. WTF is this map? Shit, forgot to ban Operation maps. We lose. Game 2: Aks and Novas. Uh oh. And it's fucking Overpass, this map sucks. Someone on other team drops a 40bomb, one of my teammates starts the game 1-10. We lose. Game 3: Cobblestone. Goddamnit. Other team has obvious waller who AWPs entire game, we lose. AKs, Novas, and a Silver. I haven't even bothered to queue again, but I've deselected every map except Nuke, Inferno, Mirage, and Train. | ||
