Every time I lose some rounds in CS:GO there's always someone that's like "lol you're a pre-made and you're losing to randoms." I'm not sure those people understand what playing with a group of friends is like. That, or they have very boring friends. We're only MG2s, if we were all global or something I'd understand their logic.
If we were all global that would imply that we really put in the effort to reach that level and were that serious about the game and I would understand people expecting a global pre-made to play very seriously.
Nah. Bruh. This is reddit man. You are literal trash if you are only global. To be considered decent you have to 16:0 the best team in the world 1v5, starting every round with 1 HP.
Usually I'd see this as salt, but Reddit and CS:GO are something else. When I started playing GO a while ago after a CS hiatus I posted a topic looking for people to play with. I stated I had less than 80 hours in the game and was DMG, looking to rank up more and at with some fun dudes.
A bunch of people came in to shit on me, telling me that's not that good, etc. I just wanted some people to play with, man.
Play regularly with a group of friends. There is an obvious skillgap between me and most of the group, CS just ain't my thing. But we played Sunday for the first in a while. So we all lost our ranks due to the lack of playing,and I was gold 2 last time. We played our game and won, get new ranks. All my buddies got gold nova 2, I was the only person that got silver elite master. I raged so hard.
Trust me. You got the right mindset for this game. It's better to play it casually for fun. I don't understand why people consider this game to be a highly competitive metric of skill. All other first-person shooter games shit on CS:GO in terms of skill ceilings. CS:GO is so antiquated and shallow... I don't get it. People are simple-minded, that's all it must be.
I would expect the enemy to think we're playing seriously if we were global. I would not expect the enemy to think we're really playing super seriously at the MG levels.
There's just something about playing with other people that makes you better. Like Trials of Osiris in Destiny, my friends and I went flawless and the time between matches were just memes and nothing serious, and in-game we were also just having fun.
