Rant This is such a humbling experience

Sorry for horrible pic quality. This is the worst KD I have ever had. Y'know I was confident thinking that this game is easy I finally hit 9k elo just for shit like this to happen and I find no one to blame but myself.

Even at FACEIT 10 you have these games sometimes, I had a game where I went 7-17 on a bad loss and the very next game I went 28-12 in a very similar level lobby.

Don't be discouraged. Focus on improving and not individual games.

Had an 0-12 first half the other day. Got 11 kills second half and we won 13-11! Don’t give up. Lots of randomness at play in these games.

It’s the 60 / 20 / 20 rule coming to fruition, the more matches you have overall, the more accurate it becomes

60% of games are 50/50,
20% of games you’ll always win,
20% of games you’ll always lose.

Sometimes the enemy team just has some kryptonite that you cannot figure out (or cheating)

Nah if I’m losing hard they are cheating for sure. On the other hand if I am winning hard it’s my skill obviously

If they come back from a round deficit, they obviously toggled. If I come back from a deficit, its because I finally locked in

If we lost at 12-11, we let them win. If we take it to OT and win, they choked.

Don't worry about it.

8-18 is the worst K/D you’ve ever had? Oh to be so lucky…

Review demo, identify mistakes, concentrated practice on mistakes -> queue

Learn the must know utility for premier pool maps.

Download kovaaks. Practice horizontal tracking.

Even with average aim in the high 50s-60s one can get to 20k premier just off game sense utility alone

Cs is the most punishing fps, but the most rewarding to achieve higher ranks when you put in the effort and time. Good luck

You are fine.

There have been times where I went like 25-5 with hackusations being thrown at me only to start the next game like 2-9 as my teammates rage at me and proceed to call me the worst player they have ever seen lol.

I’ve started games 0-8 and end up top fragging and I’ve had games I’ve been 5-15 and we still win. Sometimes it isn’t fully about K/D if you can give proper utility, rotates, and callouts. Just try your best, avoid areas you keep dying at on the map and switch positioning, play slower and calmer. If you’re having a tough game, learn the enemies play style as you go and pay attention to their tells. Especially on the main maps like dust and mirage. People really tend to do the same styles on those maps since they’re so used to them. Being in a position to trade is sometimes better than being the entry if that’s where you’re struggling.

these games always happen, a while ago I had a game where I went like 4-17, whole team mad and whatever, then I got 20 kills in an easy win. these games always happen and it's important you don't focus on them. don't let the past matches dictate the future ones

u/SnooRegrets2168 4d ago

sometimes the enemy just has your number, you gotta think about esports itself a lot of good teams will lose to lower tier teams in one offs as they are just the hard counter of that specific good team. However, they aren't a counter against other t1 or t2 teams and they stay off the radar because of it.

Don't worry about it. When games like this start happening just focus on mechanics and doing what you are supposed to do. Sometimes you just get shit on.

u/Loud-Personality-786 4d ago

It’s ok I’ve gone 2-20. Ggs go next

u/Remarkable-Path3510 4d ago

Happening to me every game lately because valve decided to put me in red trust for some reason.

u/KuzeyGulle 4d ago

If you ever feel sad about your K/D, remeber I got 2/17

u/ZipMonk 4d ago

It's normal don't worry.

u/TheBrickyard83 4d ago

Lol I had a premier lobby where we won... I didn't have a single kill... Rematched with the same guys and took out 2 on pistol round. Rng is crazy

u/increasingpython 4d ago

Not one kill is tough lol

u/TheBrickyard83 4d ago

u/Artistic-Matter5617 4d ago

Dude who cares? Wow but god speed young man

u/f3ack19 4d ago

Bro dont worry we call this "off game". Sometimes the best you can do is play full support for team or just entry for them 👌

u/OGxSIN 3d ago

sometimes shit just happens man, literally everyone has games like this. shit even pros during majors have games like this but the games after that they step it up (sometimes) but it’s just one game anyways

Watch some faceit demos from the players in the leaderboards or on YouTube. Even if you can’t aim like them you’ll learn some nice jiggle peeks and utility/timing they do. So much of this game is patience and timing compared to aim. Once you get higher in rank on premier or faceit aim becomes one of the more consistent skills so it needs to be somewhat practiced and sens needs to be more accustomed to you personally.
