lovely Analogy Alert.

Rank is to skill as IQ is to intelligence. Noone really cares about the former but we'd all like more of the latter.

Just crazy to me how many people in matchmaking games constantly talk about rank and ask what rank players are throughout the game. Annoying as poo poo, just play, and if you suck, then you suck.

You dont even necessarily have to suck completely even, you could just suck comparatively to everybody else. A lot of people play this game, there is always going to be someone better than you. Or maybe just having a better day than you.

Much as I hate assholes that just cant grasp this concept, dudes with twitch.tv names that are like this are by far the worst.

When solo queueing at nova 4 I find that level of backbiting and back seat gaming is not exactly uncommon the moment it gets rough at all. Its like they all know for a fact bitching your teammates out when you are dead makes them play better and respond to communication in the future

yup, 2 back to back losses mostly caused by super edgy teenagers having hissy fits. A pleasant time was not achieved. Maybe a goon man will kick off with decent humans in it and I can get shot in the head at 150ms

Oh my God what the fuck am I?
I'm still doing my placements, but the couple of games I've had on Dust2 so far had me top fragging by quite a wide margin. I'm thinking it might be better for my play in the long run to take Dust2 out of my competitive queue altogether until I get my next few wins at least, since I'm so used to it. Seems like if I keep it in my rotation it will probably pop first almost every time and I imagine doing all of my initial matches there is probably a bad idea.

I'm thinking of queuing just for Inferno, Mirage, Nuke, and Cache. Also I don't really care where I end up ranked either, since the lower I am the easier it should be to climb out if I make the effort to improve.

Yeah, you're on the right track. Play solo for those first 10 wins and see where you get placed.

This was so much fun. Probably the most fun I have ever had in MM.

Also everyone should join Deag:Le. Our first game I got a grand total of 4 kills but by the last game I was top fraggin. Deag:Le made me a better player. Video Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYCt_Ocem2I

The one positive the deagle does to your overall gameplay is it teaches you patience before firing. It's fun as hell, but it also does that.
