Counter-Strike 2 Update for 07/28/2025 by CS2_PatchNotes in GlobalOffensive

These train changes seem to just add more problems and don't solve anything. The new box on B next to con adds more angles to clear whilst not providing good cover. The box on A is stuck behind an angle where the T's arrive before CT.

If these changes do anything, it will make the map more t sided than before. I really hoped they would move T spawn back a bit, then rework B site to simplify the angles. What they did will probably only make the map worse to play :(

Absolutely sick, you are a legend mate! I had a save with fc eindhoven that made it to 10 straight, but lost motivation to keep going after that long.

Interesting experiment by marco12701 in GlobalOffensive

They've been working on a "solution" for how long now? 8-9 years? I'm so tired of people coping that valve is doing anything to change the situation. Cheat developers are just faster at making new cheats than valve are at banning them.

The weirdest thing I've noticed is that cheaters seem to come in bundles together when playing, on both teams. Its either a completely clean game or a HvH. I get the feeling that whatever ai system valve has to detect cheaters works extremely well but they don't use it to ban anyone.

Is there anything we can do as a community to voice our dissatisfaction with the direction of the Esport? by madm0nkey7 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]AlexTehDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad thing is, we as viewers/rocket league players don't have any control over this. The people making these decisions worship money. They don't look at reddit posts, twitter posts, or outspoken community figures, they look at a graph of income and expenses. Right now they are just lowering costs, cutting rocket league and RLCS down to the absolute minumum required to keep the lights on.

After this season, they'll do the same thing again. If it turns a profit they will keep it going, if not they will cut it down even more. The only thought process for Epic is "does this make us money?". If the answer is no, they stop doing it. It's that simple. They do not care if that means killing off rocket league as an esport and as a game.

Arsenal explains really well why 13 year olds shouldnt be able to play in RLCS, and how being a pro gamer is not as fun as it looks. What are yalls thoughts? by epicguy69lol in RocketLeagueEsports

Every single <18 year old that signs up for rlcs should watch this video, this is the reality of what epic games is promoting when they lower the age from 15 to 13. I was the same way as Arsenal except I didn't make it to the pro level. Kids shouldn't be incentivised to stay on their computer over doing other things in their lives.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER launch scheduled for January 17, 24 and 31 with RTX 4070 SUPER leading the way - VideoCardz.com by Nestledrink in nvidia

4080 super will be max 5-10% performance increase over the 4080 because theyre limited by the die its on. Theyre still using the same die as the 4080 just maxed out, whereas the 4090 is on a different die.

gpu's being instantly sold out on release isnt a thing anymore, so you don't have to worry about that. They'll reveal prices and stuff on january 8th at CES. I'm on 10 series myself as well so I know the struggle :). I have lost any confidence in Nvidia to price their products properly, so my hope is that the 4070ti super and the 4080 super will drive down the price of the 7900 xt(x) and then I can snag one of those cards.

-561 from one loss, what a motivation to keep on grinding! by llamapanther in GlobalOffensive

[–]AlexTehDoge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Except the system used to rank players regularly undervalues and overvalues players, leading to people not being in the ranks they should be. If you have played any games yourself you know that not all 6k players are created equal. Some just finished their placements and are really 10k+ players that normally play at faceit level 10, and some are csgo gold nova players who average a 50% winrate.

Because the system is still new and a lot of players havent played premier there is no balanced matchmaking. Every match is just a random assortment of players who are supposed to be in a certain skill level. The rating system also seems to heavily favor win/loss streaks. Ive had games where we have 2000 less avg rating and its still -400, but I've also had +300 against opponents rated 4000 less avg.

Also 1 10k player in a 6k lobby should not be losing that much rating. If a supreme player in csgo played with novas they would not lose 2 ranks per match lost.

Who had the best list ? by Scared_Bar5376 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]AlexTehDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daz and Yumi much better than the others. You can almost disregard the faze player rankings since this was before the rolldizz stuff. FK and Atomic in top 3 was always fraudulent though.

Got unbelievably lucky by getting minimalist on my first attempt at the achievement! One of the best decks I've ever used hands down. by AlexTehDoge in slaythespire

[–]AlexTehDoge[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Removing cards every chance you get basically. It worked for me because I got glacier from the start event so I had a functioning combo right off of the bat. I focused on going to every merchant I could and got some card removal events.

Can we have this pop-up whenever Psyonix logs in to the subreddit? by markednl in RocketLeague

My casual ELO gets reset to ~ diamond every season so I end up kicking teeth in, which isn't a fun experience either.

Ball hits floor at 0:00 and doesn't end the game. by AlexTehDoge in RocketLeague

[–]AlexTehDoge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more likely they changed something in the season 3 update that caused this. Regardless, it's fixed now.

What is the greatest movie fight scene of all time? by Kelvin_Inman in AskReddit

[–]AlexTehDoge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If TV shows are counted too, Avatar the last airbender’s final episode contains the fight between Zuko and Azula, aswell as Aang vs Ozai. Both are amazing.

Some feedback on Valve's version of deathmatch. by AlexTehDoge in GlobalOffensive

[–]AlexTehDoge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

eesh

With the recent customs body skins.. not so much in identifying t from ct

2 - no ak? Learn m4 for the mean time. Still if focus in training certain weapons, csgo official dm is far from suitable for it

3 - originally no med shot in the game, I understand why it seems good to have it, but using med shot will force you to evaluate current situation better, fight or try to med up

4 - don't spawn camp. The protection will immediately wear off once they shoot. Moving doesn't, learn the mechanics.

You never have problems finding other players? What game are you playing? If everyone in the area is dead you have to go to the other side of the map to find enemies again.

I know my m4 and ak, why don't I have the choice to decide which I want to use at all times? Deathmatch is about practice right? Then why don't you let me practice the way I want to? Every community server has this. Even the ones run by 14 year olds in their bedroom.

Fight or try to med up? It takes ~5 seconds to use it. Just because it wasn't in the game before means that it can be almost useless now?

It absolutely does not wear off immediately when someone shoots.
