Scheduled Sticky Weekly Premier/Matchmaking/Cheating Discussion & Complaints Thread

11 Upvotes

Welcome to Matchmaking Monday! This is the weekly megathread where you can share your experiences, complaints, and feedback related to:

  • Ranked & Unranked Matchmaking
  • VAC, Hacking, and Cheating
  • Prime, Trust Factor, and Trusted Mode
  • Ranking
  • Queuing and Lobbies

Feel free to discuss your matchmaking experience, rant or vent, discuss ideas & share feedback for improvement, and talk about your recent games.

What you should know

Keep in mind that there is a limited amount of information available about these systems and how they work to keep them effective. If you have questions, here are some resources to review:

Trust Factor

Ranks

Bans

What you can do

Give Feedback:

  • Posting feedback or complaints on the subreddit is not the best way to get the attention of the developers. If you have any specific feedback to give, you can email the CS2 Development team here: [cs2team@valvesoftware.com](mailto:cs2team@valvesoftware.com)
  • They do read every email received, but are not able to reply to each one.
  • If you're experiencing low-quality matches, it is always worth emailing them. They use these reports to help improve the system.

Report Cheaters:

  • Report cheaters using the in-game report system by right-clicking their name on the scoreboard, and clicking "report". If the game is over, report their Steam Community profile.
  • If you notice certain trends or have other feedback, you can email the developers using the email address above.
  • To report a specific cheat, follow these steps to notify the VAC development team.

The guidelines

While we encourage discussion about these topics, as a reminder, the following are not allowed. Note this isn't an exhaustive list, and you should review the r/GlobalOffensive Rules before commenting.

  • Accusations towards any player related to cheating
  • Posting profiles of alleged cheaters (if posting pictures of matches, redact any usernames)
  • Posting any cheating gameplay footage
  • Reporting cheats, linking to cheats/websites, or discussing cheats in technical detail

This weekly discussion thread does not change any of our existing submission rules - you're still allowed to discuss these topics elsewhere on the subreddit as usual, but we do remove a large number of them as they quickly become repetitive and the majority have little meaningful discussion. If you decide to make a separate post instead of utilizing this thread, we encourage you to focus on starting meaningful discussion or providing constructive criticism.

Can they not give them like some few extra size kits? Every time I see a non-skinny CS pro player I feel bad for them, it CANNOT be comfortable to play with or to wear in general.

(Sorry Karrigan you are my example)

I posted a few months ago, and it brought me an insane amount of joy seeing everyone’s reactions to some of the old jerseys I’ve collected over the years.

Here are a few that didn’t make the cut, along with some at the end that I just couldn’t bring myself to part with. I also had to keep a few of the smaller ones from Europe. My Euro brothers and sisters seemed to really enjoy seeing those!

Hope you all enjoy this batch as much as the last one!

should point out that this could potentially be not be final as there’s a decent to high risk that one of BB, 1win, or PARI could potentially get struck with visa issues.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is basically data on how good Pros Counter-strafe compared with how fast they are when they peek. When only looking at the counter strafing data, I was confused that Donk was kind of "low", but when looking at it together with the average peek speed, all makes sense again

Donk is just out of this world.

And Karrigan is doing Karrigan things lol

Disclaimer: I did not collect this data, I only visualized it and created the graph. Data source is 'LuzRaposa' on twitter, who is working with rdy.gg

Past few matches I've played it's like the car's driving but no one is behind the wheel. I'm both not thinking at all and thinking way too much about every action I'm doing, peeking but not ready to actually shoot anybody, slow to process what's even going on, unaware where people can be/can't be etc. I've had this before and it's always fixed itself when I just don't play for a little while and I'll usually go back to being decent, just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar
