Solo Q has gotten a lot better since the de-rank-a-thon. Two matches yesterday, first would have ended in a tie, but the guy on our team with $10K decieded to drop at the start of the round. Second match ended up 16-13 and no one was really far and away better skilled then the rest of us, scores were all around 15-20 kills each.

Game is finally good and balanced at dmg/le?

I am still terrible and make dumb mistakes all the time.

The game became a lot more enjoyable for me once I started playing Faceit premium almost exclusively.

Last few weeks I've been running at a 75% win rate, but lost 4 of 6 last night. Most of those losses were thanks to teams that force bought every round rather than saving, didn't make callouts or their callouts were "everyone is B" despite only seeing a couple people, etc.

Basically, matchmaking isn't fixed but it's not absolute poo poo. It just sucks when you get grouped with a bunch of shitters multiple games in a row.

Curious if anyone has speculation on what happens when you get kicked by a team after the last round. I was playing with a lovely 3 man group after 1 person abandoned on the 1st round. After 2nd fragging the whole game and dealing with their constant comments after they were dead.
'Yellow lost that round for us'
'Yellow go back to COD'
'Yellow you suck so bad'
'OMG yellow you're spray' etc etc etc...
And doing my best to ignore it. I finally snapped towards the end of the match and told them to just kick me. They all loving suck etc. It really hurt my feelings guys :'(

Anywho, they kicked me after the last round. Curious if the round still counts or not. It shows up in my recent plays.

I've gotten so used to playing goonmans and having teammates who actually communicate and cooperate and aren't total toxic pieces of trash that I've forgotten how to carry in solo q (because playing to carry when you can't rely on your team requires you to do some really weird/unconventional pubstar poo poo).

Carrying can make you feel like a boss though, I'm a GN2 and was queued with another GN2, and I think a S1, S3, and another S3 and they were just getting obliterated. We were behind bad T side on Nuke, and near the end I went on a rampage and had won us 5 rounds in a row with 3 or 4 kills each round up to a 16-14 defeat. Was dropping bombs on people on Inferno after that but we still had a close loss because even when you're above and beyond who you're fighting it's still tough to win when 3 of your teammates can't be relied upon to do simple things like trade an entry frag or even hold a position competently.

Speaking of goonmans though, I want to get into it but the OP is a bit of a mess with it. The buttmen brigade server isn't even found in the CS community search and the sub.io one was showing empty all last night when I was checking.

e: toxic trash sucks too, I've had to unfriend two people in like a week that were just being poo poo on the mic, either endlessly venting out their frustrations on the mic or endlessly poo poo talking other people on the team, you can't win with poo poo like that going on

Buttmen Brigade is dead. Sub.io is used frequently, but we usually populate it with announcements through the steam group. Feel free to link the PGS thread in the OP.

I need to kick Necco's rear end considering how much he phoned in the OP by just copy and pasting from the other thread. Buttman Brigade has been down for a long time now and the OP has zero mention of sub.io, and it even still refers for people to message coLe in order to join the CS:GOONS group, which is asinine. Either join the group chat and see if someone will send you an invite from there, or gently caress it, I volunteer for people to message/add me (turk) and I'll put them into the group myself. poo poo, does coLe even still read this thread, or does all he do is kz?

Honestly, I love fighting games, CS, and Quake but at this point I feel like all time put into becoming really good at games is transient at best and a total waste of time at worst. Real hard to put in any practice time or anything without feeling that way now. I think I got old.

Yo, if anyone wants to mm queue with me I'm usually down for a pug Tue/Thu/Sun from like 6:45PST-8:15PST or there abouts (or randomly other times, that's just my built in cs:go time). I'm SEM (got my rank during the rank shift and things got kinda weird). Add me http://steamcommunity.com/id/drjeffgoldblum/ I pretty much only ever queue mirage so you'll have to yell at me a lot on what callouts are if we play another map. But that should be okay because if you're playing with me we're probably both clawing our way up from silver.

Seriously, he is loving awful. He may possibly be the worst player of all NA pros, doesn't matter if he's igl or not. You cannot keep consistently laying eggs like that and expect your team to accelerate into the upper echelon of competition.
