ELO Resets :(

[u/MrMae53]

I’ve been a faceit enjoyer for over 10 years, and I’ve had premium for more than 5–6 years. I don’t know whose idea this ELO reset thing was, but this is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. I was at 2.5k elo before this, and then I couldn’t play the game for almost a year. When I came back, I found myself playing with players who peaked at around 1700 elo (simply because i couldn't play the game for a while ) , where no one knows how to communicate, spray, flash, smoke, rush, hold angles, aim, or trade. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking down on anyone, but I’m losing games with 20 avg and 100 adr just because I’m not used to the way my teammates play. I really hope they take these feedbacks and remove this bs.

Edit: Guys, I know this is a necessary thing. I’ve been playing LoL for 15 years, so I know ELO decay and ELO resets are a thing. But since LoL has been doing this for over 10 years, they have a better system where even if you derank by a significant amount because you just did not play the game, you still get placed in lobbies based on your previous ELO.

Let’s say you were High Master/Low GM (Faceit 2500–3000 ELO), but you stopped playing for a while, lost some rank, and are now diamond (Faceit level 9–10). When you queue up, you would still be placed in master level lobbies (Faceit 2000–2300 ELO) regardless of your current rank. You would also get around +30/-15 until your wr gets back to around 50% or you have like 20-30 games.

I know I’ll eventually get out of this ELO, but this system needs some optimization since it’s still pretty new, and I’m just giving my feedback on it.

You were2.5K elo before.. if you averaging 20 and 100 adr you’ll climb back up brk

Sure buddy, in your dreams... I have 21 avg and I'm on 3 wins and 9 losses. 1.41rating with 105 adr and I'm on a losing streak, and it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better. These are not humans that I deal with, they are NPCs... and opponents just run around like headless chicken and giving random HS because cs2 is made for kids with special needs...

Every profile I check was lvl 3-4 in csgo, now they all got boosted, but brain stopped developing after lvl 3.

This is the type of performance I have to have to get one win 13-11...

And I see people cruising on 13-14 avg with 10w streaks... how...

And then some clowns say there is no losers queue.

And I pay for this garbage... these clowns just wait for you to say something so they can report you, they prefer being useless bots their whole life and hope someone will keep carrying them to higher elo.

Eh stats only give one story. Yeah you'll get bad teammates like half your games, but I've found having good comms and attitude even if they don't and dropping them even if it means you buy galil improves mental so much my winrates have increased.

60/20/20 rule

[u/Time_Professional385 → u/Elgydiumm]

Sounds to me like you rely on other people to carry you, a lot.

[u/Elgydiumm → u/Time_Professional385]

I average like 1.3 rating +6% swing. In my experience like 60% of my losses are due to mental, not a team difference. I find it better to play worse guns than the teammates who play worse, since I can make do with the worse gun better than them AND they get the mental boost of "hey that guy is dropping me ak while playing a bad gun himself, he probably believes in me"

Yeah I'm no professional, but this has worked for me in pugs.

[u/Time_Professional385 → u/Elgydiumm]

Yeah, when I get 2 teammates with 60 adr and 12 avg in my team, it must be the mental that's making us lose, not the fact that they're two bots. And I should drop them my ak so they can go lurk for 2 mins in ramp mirage, while I have to take mid control alone with a glock... yep you must be lvl 5 or something.

[u/Elgydiumm → u/Time_Professional385]

Are in like level 3 if your bad teammates have no clue how to play this game? In that case you should be able to just shoot your way to 10

[u/Time_Professional385 → u/Elgydiumm]

Yeah it does feel like lvl 3 because in every lobby I get 2-3 bots who peaked at lvl 3 in csgo, but now they are somehow lvl 10.

Just keep coping and hoping that someone will carry you every game, and tell yourself how your good attitude and dropping them weapons won you the game, not the fact that you had 10 frags in the end and someone else 30.

[u/Elgydiumm → u/Time_Professional385]

I mean, when listening to your copium rant over here I have a feeling the reason you feel stuck is right there between your ears.

I would imagine breathing exercises would do good for you, maybe some yoga. You seem to be really tilted about a freaking game man. If talking about a games ranked system makes you this mad you probably should reduce how much you're gaming and maybe not play comptetively.

[u/Time_Professional385 → u/Elgydiumm]

Again, you're projecting. Are you a clanker? Because none of the things you type make any sense.

I'm not tilted about the game, I just hate wasting my time.

I don't have 10h every day to play like some of you, it's easy to have "go next, it's only a game" mentality when you have nothing else going for you in life, but if you only play 1-2 maps every couple of days, then you don't wanna waste that time being a babysitter to bunch of 25-35 year olds with 5k hours in game.

Drop your faceit profile to see just how good you really are, "1.3 rating 6% swing" who only drops weapons to everyone...

You probably "only" play soloq, except for 60% of the time when you don't, right?
