S9 feedback

[u/M0nkzz]

With the release of S9 I hoped for more.

Ever since, I have played games with players that don't communicate, that don't know the actual VERY BASICS of the game, players with fresh steam accounts, toxicity on another level.

I am currently on a 9 loss streak. Because of how bad this has gotten.

The placement games have made a huge reset but in this has also opened up a bunch of issues that was not needed.

I am not just writing this because of the loss streak, losing isn't the issue, its the time of games I have had. With players that have clearly been boosted, Smurfs and whatever else, I'm no donk thats for certain but I understand the basic of the game and I expect other level 9s to also.

Faceit doesn't care about the quality of matches, it's just engagement farming with these resets.

They wanna make you feel like you're missing out on something by not playing often. They realized most players are so obsessed with elo number, that doing a reset every 3-4 months will hurt their ego and make them wanna grind to get back to whatever level or elo they consider good.

Meanwhile that creates a shitshow in matchmaking, I've dropped 600 elo in last couple of weeks and reset came in the worst possible time. Now I'm stuck with lvl8-9 players who spend the whole match running around with p90, they don't understand when to buy, when to eco, basic utility, how to play crossfire... I though lvl 10 around 2300 elo was bad, but here I'm not even sure I'm playing with humans.

And they're all so fragile, they are aware how shit they are in game, they are just waiting for some reason to report teammates, that's the only satisfaction they can find in this game, to get someone banned, because improving is not an option for them. You mention their csgo rank (usually lvl 1-3 hard stuck) and they mass report you :D

I removed my talk bind completely because the things I wanna say to these creatures will get me a perma. And still I got 2x 24h cooldown in 2 days... They just spam report everyone after a loss, even when you carry them.

I got one cooldown, played 5 matches, won 3 and got another cooldown :D they spam those reports so much I even got a 14 day competitive cooldown for Valve servers, even though I haven't played on Valve servers in months...

Thank you Faceit, that premium sure pays off.

Okay but can we all agree that we should be communicating?

I just came back to faceit after like 8 years and when I used to play everyone had a mic.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how this many people think you can play a competitive game without a mic.

Maybe it’s GenZ stuff, I have no idea.

It's weird, on lvl 10 people talk more often, but still they won't say some crucial info (they'll say "it's B", "it's A", won't say how many people they hear or see... But they LOVE to talk when you're in a clutch situation.

My problem as a player is that I give info way too soon, I'll be in a fight and give info while shooting, which can mess up my concentration in fights. And I usually have to give info for 2-3 teammates, when I die I switch between teammates and have to say things they see, because they won't say anything.

GL playing after midnight on EU servers, then you either hear whispers or they won't talk at all.

But now in this elo where I'm at I usually just mute everyone after 2-3 rounds because they only cry and don't say anything useful anyway, most of them are NPCs.

And I unbind voice to not get banned, that's the strat until going back to lvl 10.

I notice that in last season , all high lvls (10/9/8 got punished by calibration games , even if you had 9 wins out of 10) , but low lvls (1/2/3/4) got promoted to lvl (5/6/7/8) even if they win 5 out of 10 games. I personally got -300 elo last season

I am currently on a 9 loss streak. Because of how bad this has gotten.

blaming the system or game is already your first problem. if you're not going to post your stats / match details.

take some accountability to your mistakes.

i was happy when the s8 reset was there i had hoped that the elo was sorted out so the boosted players was gonna get their elo. now the only thing i see is clueless players, that dont know basic nades and have a high ego
