I just started playing again after taking a couple years off. I had to start from 0 experience points and rank up to level 3 before playing matchmaking. I used to be dmg but got placed in gold nova. I immediately got dropped to silver after losing 5 in a row. I am pretty sure it is impossible to rank up at this level as a solo q. I get the absolute worst teammates. People just force buy and push everywhere. People who don't know to walk. Players who just teamflash at the start of every match. Multiple players with 200 pings who don't speak English. I end up pulling like 20+ frags while losing 16-4 almost every time. Had this little kid yesterday who was like waiting for the enemy to turn the corner he was holding in a 1v1 just give himself away by making random footsteps. Dude turns the corner and prefires him. I tell him that he should be quiet in those situations to get the jump on the guy and hes like, "Yeah im sure a rank 3 would know better than me."

Even when I win it isn't fun because I still have these terrible teammates and the other team is just worse. Really dumb that valve completely reset my account despite having 600+ hours on record, a "5 year veteran coin", and having been a steady dmg last time I played regularly.

Yeah its really dumb, especially because even someone as rusty as me when it comes to movement and aim can still be effective in higher ranks just based on smart play while I get my gun skills back. I don't know why valve would think that just because a player hasn't played in a couple years that they would completely forget how to play cs and have to start at the same level a complete cs noob has to.

Afaik the reasoning behind the rank decay has more to do with avoiding people from getting carried to a rank and then sitting on it forever (I think you need a win to refresh the inactive cooldown, but I could be wrong). They want to avoid having a large pool of inactive globals.

It's a bit annoying yea, but at the same time if you play a lot you will get your rank back by just carrying. If you want to speed this up you should really duo-queue with someone of your level and your rank will skyrocket in no time. Being two to hold and take sites really helps.

Other than that, if you hyper-carry (as mentionned before) it really goes fast. My second account got knocked back in gold nova something from LE I think, and my main being Global atm, I was absolutely crushing those poor guys with 40+ kills games. If anything it's funny for me and really unfair for them, but I can't really do anything about it since I need to rank back up.

The bigger problem with rank decay in my opinion is that it hurts us casuals. I only have time to play a game a day (some days none), yet I'm not ranking up with 70-80% winratio (and bunch of MVPs every round) just because the game doesn't think I play often enough to warrant it.

So I just got repromoted to DMG and then I queued for another game, playing 15:15. Turns our one of my opponents was silver 2 and the other one was silver 3. They had regular stats. Now I am no wizard but that looked like smurfs to me. I dont even know how they got into the game because we had 5 dmg and the other team had 3 dmg and them. What the actual fuck. This is bullshit.

Same for me. I dont want the app on my phone, just for the sake of not wanting it. Now I cannot sell ~1$ and lower skins anymore. 15 days hold till it is listed, the prize changes, either you get too less or you cannot sell it.

For me, I just give all my uslessdrops a friend, he likes to gamble with 1 cent skins and as over 1000 cases in his inventory as "investment". He is happy with em.
