That will sort itself out by a couple of defeats and you'll be placed with people very close to your skill level. If you solo queue, as opposed to premades with a wide range of ranks, you'll get a lot of very close matches. The elo system does its job remarkably well. Thats why all the pussies get ladder anxiety and start smurfing

Abisteen posted:What are the skill levels like in your first couple of competitive MM games? I've been playing off and on very casually since before 1.6 but never really played the straight up 5v5 matches. I played on lots of larger servers where single players didn't usually determine a whole lot. In GO casual I am normally within the top 2 or 3 overall in score if I am in the match from start to finish. I am just wondering if I should expect to roll my first game or two or if it starts you in the middle like with Novas where I might not be up to that skill level at this time. I played bunch of cs 1.6 back in the day and I just picked up cs go about month ago. I won all the first 10 games ( playing with bunch of silvers and it was easy ) and I was almost always the top player with most mvp stars. I got placed in Silver Elite after first 10 games. I'm now on 40 wins and gold nova 3 ranked. So , i think first 20 or so wins are going to be with silver players and you shouldn't have a lot of problems with those games.But be prepared to hear some of the most obnoxious people and sounds ever.

I've just always had to fight anxiety when it comes to team based stuff like that and was convinced I would be the lowest rank possible and would just be rolled over again and again. I was just happy it didn't happen that way is all.

If you play at global elite level you will bottle rocket up there in a handful of matches. If you rank up it means you are playing better. More matches does absolutely nothing for your rank by itself.

MM rank isn't actually determined by win/loss or k/d. It's the percentage of people that report you to overwatch for hacking after the match. If you get enough you go up.

[GAMEPLAY] - Fixed the bullet penetration system not penetrating static GRATE surfaces (fences) and brushes that are NODRAW on both sides (for example, the ladder in Cache). [MIRAGE] - Fixed upper shutters in kitchen having a NODRAW face inside that wall that prevented wallbanging from one direction (bottom wood is unchanged). - Clipped a part behind van to prevent bomb from getting stuck. - Thinned B "bench" wall a bit to allow more damage to penetrate. - Clipped windows in palace so you can't jump into them. [OVERPASS] - The bank side door has been opened to reveal a new path into A. - The back A stairs have been flipped to enter nearer to the bomb plant zone. - A site has been opened up, the APC has been moved back and a new box has fallen off of the semi. - "Quickfall" palettes have been added to the bottom of ladder on T-side tunnels to allow for quick decent (ala Nuke). - The flower box at the CT sniper spot at Long A is now higher. - The connector tunnels have become more spacious. - One of the windows in Connector Tunnels has been opened up (for possibilities...). - Removed shelf in sniper nest above A to allow grenade damage through. - Stomped some flowers in the box outside bathrooms leading to A because they got in the way of an important sight-line. - Added a light to the bathroom connector to Long A. This improves visibility of players looking from mid connector. - Fixed the steam pipes on connector to no longer leak steam. - Clipped a few more areas to smooth movement and cleaned up nav mesh. - Updated radar image. - Thanks to iBP steel and c0tt0n [COBBLESTONE] - Removed OP flower pot at back of B. - Added a lip at the top of main B entrance to provide more cover to T team. - Slightly extended large planter by B entrance to close a thin sight line from back of B to side door. - Drop-down to alternative B entrance has been widened to allow a better view of the room below. - Drop-down room roof beams have been moved further away from the stairs. - Roof of alternative B entrance has been opened up for additional grenade throws. - Locations where the bomb could be dropped out of players' reach have been clipped off. - Lighting changes at some locations to provide better visibility. - Shifted tapestry in CT sniper room up and made it lighter color to make players more visible against it. [BLACK GOLD] - Removed collisions on red light above B doorway (Long B). - Simplified drill tower bases and pipes based on Operation feedback. - Fixed lighting issues on warehouse support beams. [UI] - By popular demand, added a 6th crosshair style (cl_crosshairstyle 5) which emulates the non-dynamic behavior of 1.6 and Source. Just like the previous versions of CS, this crosshair does not accurately portray current weapon accuracy, spread or recoil, but does provide feedback about whether or not you are currently firing a weapon. If you are a new player or you haven't quite mastered recoil or accurate range, use crosshair styles 0, 2 or 3. They accurately show up-to-date feedback on your current weapon's bullet spread/recoil at every given state. [MISC] - All weapon cases, weapon case keys, operation passes, name tags and stickers are now marketable as commodities on Steam Community Market. - Replaced "Death Comes" sticker art.

[Edit] I just realized this doesn't apply to guns (presumably because you can sell named/stickered guns and two FN guns don't look exactly the same), so it's not as big a deal as I originally thought. Still, should make the case speculation market way more transparent. aborn fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Jul 17, 2014 |

Do any of the dynamic crosshair styles open up when you move but not when you shoot? I think that would be helpful for idiots like me who let of the first shot before they're completely stopped sometimes.

Really enjoying playing Insertion. It's the perfect map for aggressive AWPing, I've found. Especially if you're on defense; normally you can get around CT spawns if you're quick, and pick people off as they're moving past you. Even better if only 1 or 2 spawn on the hill you've chosen.
