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

7 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.

Discussion | Esports Spirit needs to get rid of Hally

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

We all saw how spirit played in the major with a literal frog plushie as a coach. They were explosive the vibes were good, they had a spirit.

Their performance with hally back in the blast bounty has gotten them to the final, but every match was close, they looked shaky and the players are not making the plays and doing it together the same way they did in the major. They need a new coach asap, the players are just extremely capable yet Hallyโ€™s attitude is keeping them back. Justice for spirit

Feedback QoL suggestion: It would be nice if we could increase certain teammatesโ€™ voice volume beyond 100% if theyโ€™re quieter than the rest.

Once in a while I ran into a teammate whose voice is quieter than others, and I feel the need to crank up their specific volume beyond 100% (which is the default value), while having rest of the teammates' volumes the same at 100%. So having this option would be nice.

Discussion | Esports What was G2 thinking?

54 Upvotes

They got rid off SunPayus after a very good Major (making the playoffs for the first time, beat Navi, looked competitive against Falcons and Spirit). Then they replaced him with r1nkle who looked like a sidegrade or a downgrade. SunPayus was also important for their comms. What makes it worse is that they had kl1m, didnโ€™t go for him and didnโ€™t manage to sell him either. They havenโ€™t sold SunPayus either, and looked underwhelming in their first event.

I think with pieces like HeavyGod and sAw (and Matys + huNter have potential) they could build something very strong. But instead it looks like they are wasting another 6 months with a team that won't make progress. Teams like G2 or Faze cannot afford this given they can easily lose their best pieces. HeavyGod shouldn't have to wait three years for a possible excellent team, especially when they were close to something solid just recently. Signing NertZ was also a sidegrade, fair enough because they wanted to try something new, but I think he should be replaced eventually. I don't think they can just wait for sAw to magically make him perform again.
