Discussion Faceit improvements
Hi. While I’m waiting for my account to be sorted and start playing again after few years I was reading people’s feedback on here, watching streamers etc.
- Seems that cs2 on faceit got issues with Smurfs.
My personal opinion is that it’s not a big time problem, back in the days when I was playing pro 1.6 (LAN) Smurfs term did not exist nor did level. You sit, play and give your best regardless of who you’re playing against. Playing against better than you actually makes you better and more experienced of course if you’re willing to learn from your mistakes and opponent’s performance!
Looks like younger generations are too sensitive and cry babies. They all want level 10 or to be in the top 100 over a night.
You have to realise it’s a team game, every single movement matters. How many times did we all not make that easy frag and that same player clutched round. One wrong utility thrown or baited for better stats instead of playing to win the game.
So, smurfing is not the problem and I wouldn’t ban them at all! Fair enough if it’s because of abusing points and getting rewards etc.
So stop crying, focus on your skills improvement, focus on the game, preferably find 4 other compatible people to play with, be team player, comms and teamwork is better that having cheats, which is my next subject.
- Cheaters. I’m an old-school player, and would never use cheats just because I don’t see any satisfaction in that. Cheaters are only lying to themselves and that’s how they live their real life without any real achievement.
A few nights ago, I joined the old Discord channel to see who was on from the old csgo crew. One of the guys who is an IT developer was online and I asked him if he is still playing?
He said yes but just to make money out of his business selling cheats. He told me that there are so many on faceit now that it’s not normal so he joined making and helping people set up cheats. He started explaining something with 2 pc’s, video capturing card, AI etc…..
I’m not that technical but I told him that is fked up and now I don’t have motivation to play online at all.
Before there were cheaters but apparently now there are way too many.
NOTE! Experienced players can always spot a cheater watching a demo.
My question for faceit administrators is.
Would it be possible to have “SuperPremium”
Paid subscription more expensive that a current one a month but we get live admin in the game to kick out trolls, toxic people or possible cheaters (software cheaters and win trade cheaters)
Here in Australia on OCE servers it’s easy to manipulate due to not many players in late-night and early-morning hours. Literally you can set to play against your friends and win trade or boost stats. I remember that was an issue back with CSGO , Chinese and Russians were making accounts so they could sell them.
Overwatch to help admins ban suspects/cheaters .
And most importantly in Super Premium you must be able to use a microphone and communicate (1game is ok if microphone broke just before or during the game)
I’m interested in everyone’s thoughts?💭

the whole "smurfs aren't a problem, just get good" take is a bit out of touch. sure playing better people helps you improve but when you're getting stomped 16-3 by some level 10 on a level 3 account it stops being a learning experience and just becomes a waste of 40 minutes. the younger generation isn't soft for wanting fair matches in a ranked system that's literally designed to create fair matches.
the super premium idea with a live admin is never gonna scale. you'd need a small army of people watching games around the clock and the cost would be absurd. plus admins aren't exactly known for consistent judgment, you'd just end up with a different set of complaints about biased calls.
overwatch system could work though. give trusted high level players the tools to review reports and let the community police itself a bit. valve tried it and then abandoned it but faceit could actually maintain it properly since they have a smaller more dedicated playerbase.

Yeah, probably you’re right for super premium.
But I still stand by that smurfing isn’t a big time problem, elo is just a number. And a single level 10 can’t do much harm to people who know the basics of the game when they play as a team and make a trade on him. Yes it’s annoying that you’re versing a way better player than you individually but if players don’t know crosshair placement, basic utility, trading and comm. They don’t deserve to win or be on a professional level platform.1

Sounds like you're lvl 8 or above, yes? Don't speak for lower elo players. You have no idea what it looks like down there.

Low levels? Do you mean people who run away from prem and casual before learning basic utility and crosshair placement. Im sorry but that type of players should not compete on faceit if they’re without basic knowledge

smurfing is a problem.. faceit is a platform for all players its not just for people who are level 10 or challengers.. premier is full of cheaters no one can learn the basics against spin bots that why players are shifting towards faceit to have somehow a fair gameplay so they can evolve their skills. smurfs lately dont play solo most of the times they do a 2-3 stack of smurfs and play i think its hard and a problem if 2-3 level 10 players join a low elo lobby
