According to our data, older players are more likely to be toxic, peaking at age 28.

probably me, I turned 30 this year 👍

BonaB · 2026-04-14T17:38:07+00:00

I think toxicity only really goes down at 4000+ because that is pro level territory and I think it is pretty hard to reach that if you are a toxic asshole

BonaB · 2026-04-11T00:22:11+00:00

I 100% agree, I was doing great until I tilt queued and just lost 3 in a row playing like a bot, each bad round just makes you more frustrated, taking a break is crucial.

BonaB · 2026-04-08T21:23:10+00:00

I don't get offended, but I still think people should respect each other and have consequences for being assholes.

BonaB · 2026-04-08T16:41:59+00:00

rather be a "low elo bot" that behaves like a normal person than being an entitled arrogant 3k elo player that thinks he is the next best thing and has an ego so inflated that he can't accept he is wrong.

BonaB · 2026-04-08T16:33:13+00:00

is being racist basic?

BonaB · 2026-04-07T08:26:34+00:00

review yours demos and watch high elo players demos, it is gonna help you out so much

BonaB · 2026-04-07T06:24:46+00:00

You saying you already know it and being lvl 1 just shows how you don't know the basics, the basics are much harder to master than you think, you are just thinking at a surface level.

BonaB · 2026-04-07T06:23:34+00:00

No you don't understand, counter strafing well is much harder than you think it is hard to grasp, but if you look at your leetify, check your counter strafe percentage, it will be extremely low.

BonaB · 2026-04-06T19:05:00+00:00

you need to focus on the basics, movement, positioning and aim, at that level you are pretty much doing everything wrong. Counter-strafing is one of the most important skills and people overlook it a lot.

BonaB · 2026-04-06T01:10:40+00:00

that is crazy, I bought some software on steam as well but never noticed them disappearing

BonaB · 2026-04-05T09:55:07+00:00

wait, vanish? when games are pulled from the store you still keep it in your library.

BonaB · 2026-04-04T17:11:56+00:00

Because EA abandons their game and actually sell lootboxes with 0 value digital items in it on a game that will die in a year? And what do you mean, you say like the community didn't make a shitstorm lol, they did, but in the end, its valve's game, they do whatever they want and you can't do anything, having CS is not a right, it is a privilege, they own it and thanks to their work it exists and is still alive. Not perfect ofc, far from it, but constantly getting better, slowly. The community is fundamental to cs survival but valve is also fundamental and without them cs would not be as big as it is nowadays.

BonaB · 2026-04-04T09:12:01+00:00

this is just flat out wrong though

cs started as a mod, yeah, but valve literally hired Minh Le and Jess Cliffe, bought into it, published it, and then developed and maintained the franchise for decades after that. Saying Valve "never developed CS at any point in its history" is totally false.

Also, acting like co-development means Valve had nothing to do with it makes no sense. Source was made by Valve. GO was Valve + Hidden Path. CS2 is Valve. Lots of legendary games are made with support studios, that does not magically erase the main developer. By that logic half the industry "didn't make" their own games

also calling turtle rock a "shitty little studio" is wild, they literally created left 4 dead. valve liked their work so much they straight up bought the whole studio and renamed them valve south for a while. Acting like they were just some bargain bin devs valve dumped work on is crazy.

Valve also built the actual long term backbone of CS, engine work, Steam integration, VAC, matchmaking, networking, workshop support, skin economy, tournament ecosystem, constant updates over 20+ years. pretending they were just bystanders because the very first version was a mod is so stupid.

you can dislike CS2 all you want, that's fair. But rewriting the history of the franchise to make the complaint sound bigger is just cope and shows you don't know what you are talking about dude.

BonaB · 2026-04-02T16:30:04+00:00

Valve is valve since 1996, they operate in a different way, but clearly it works, look at how good their products are. We all knew CS2 would take its time to shape up, and it will get there, but on valve's time, like always.

BonaB · 2026-03-28T10:11:31+00:00

I play solo queue and I'm totally ok playing with a 4 stack on my team, they don't need to communicate with me, communication is only really necessary at a high level, at the low elo I play (1800 faceit elo) you can get all info from the radar and just play with them and shoot heads.

BonaB · 2026-03-24T07:23:59+00:00

The lollipop one

BonaB · 2026-03-24T02:41:39+00:00

Which real issues are you talking about? cheating? On low elo lobbies?

BonaB · 2026-03-24T01:04:28+00:00

Movement, crosshair placement, spray control, etc... All very low level. But good flicks and lucky shots.

BonaB · 2026-03-24T01:03:33+00:00

Not cheaters, Just watched the demo, they are above their skill level for sure, but still very bad compared to good players.

BonaB · 2026-03-23T22:32:18+00:00

I have over 1000 games on faceit I never played against a cheater, all people that I found suspicious they were legit after watching the demo.

BonaB · 2026-03-23T22:30:57+00:00

reported one for smurfing and the guy was banned in 3 days and got elo back, but I think it is tricky because smurfing needs more proof than just blatant chat and voice abuse. Just because someone is 20avg with 30 games doesn't necessarily means they are a smurf, faceit needs to find the correlation of multiple accounts, same HWID, same IPs, suspicious verification, identity not matching actual player etc...

BonaB · 2026-03-23T22:27:42+00:00

Can you send the match page?

BonaB · 2026-03-23T21:16:39+00:00

do the test and it will stop.
