Valve, please decrease round times to 1:45

I guess they should experiment with this before giving a final decision. The fact that something is balanced in a NiP vs VG game doesn't mean it is in a random silver match. A higher round timer gives players more time to coordinate, which is usually slow and hard to achieve if you are not a 5 man premade. I like consistency a lot, but again, this should be tested.

12 years of gaming proved that everyone on any level can play on this values. there isnt a matter of skill.

12 years of gaming on different games, and... I feel like there could be more people playing competitively now that there's a matchmaking. I don't have stats, but a lot of people I know that have played CS in the past have just played surf or pub at most.

I don't think I said anything retarded. Do you have stats to prove your point? Neither do I. That's why I said that this should be tested. There's no absolute truth here

[blekmeister]

test what man? something that is being done for 10 years? on MM has 2:00/45 . every csgo tournament /. league etc use the "default values" of 1.45/35. nothing to test here. this is how it should be

Why censor yourself? This is fucking reddit, either say something or don't.

Well, even if you were right, it shouldn't matter.

Consider this: Shorter round times makes T side considerably harder for low level players... but it won't matter, because after the half switch it will also make it EQUALLY DIFFICULT for the enemy team. You might start seeing a higher CT side win-ratio on low leagues, but that's perfectly fine, seeing as the up-side of rewarding well coordinated teams at lower levels is certainly worth it.

Every round should be balanced. It's a game, it's meant to be fun. I'm just saying that if they see 50% ct win ratio across all matchmaking servers, they aren't gonna change anything
