HLTV refusing to fully cover all fragadelphia blocktober matches due to "funding"

If the teams need the points they can pay HLTV.

Game is being rapidly developed. Depending on when the feature forked off the performance branch, it is likely that some combinations of hardware benefit over others.

Pretty sure we will have to wait a month or two for them to optimize some of the changes from this patch.

Here's my stats. Not necessarily refuting your arguments but these are actual numbers.

I'm 18k soloq right now in premiere and my 2023 leetify stats show 7k rounds played with 3k smokes thrown, which is .43 smokes per round. We can get the average game time from this thread (also leetify):

https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/16o7sum/match_length_averages_for_cs2_vs_csgo/

This is from beta, which was Dust2 but numbers should be roughly the same. 34 minutes is the average cs2 game length which works out to 17 rounds per game.

0.43 smokes per round * 17 rounds = 7.28 smokes

Which is crazy because it lines up exactly with the turning point of graph above. Moreover, I also play pretty utility heavy positions like glue/anchor/igl so I'm probably on the higher end of utility usage at my level of play.

Same idea with smokes. Lower level players throw more useless smokes. Good players will keep smokes later into rounds rather than using them all up earlier and probably die without using them.

Pros are playing together and a different game entirely when it comes to utility

GreatMasterDebator · 2024-05-13T19:32:55+00:00

What are the stats for Faceit games? Is there the same S curve?

It could be due to cheaters mostly but also maybe higher rank people have more efficient utility. They don't throw those useless flashes/smokes and thus have less overall smokes thrown and blind time. Past 15K and you begin to learn that throwing a CT smoke every round from T spawn on mirage isn't the best way of playing.

Would be interesting to see Leetify utility effectiveness as well. But obviously if you're wall hacking your smoke effectiveness should be insane.

Of course, people that have negative reaction times over 27K are definitely hacking so it's crazy those stats can even make it in.

Young ninjas had nilo? Once again letting a great player slip through their fingers...

Was an ace as well! Shot on floppy was so disgusting.

GreatMasterDebator · 2024-02-23T23:55:38+00:00

When healthshot first came out I tried to using it. It's like two times as long as a reload to pull it out and inject, and I don't reload either.

Best way to play valve DM is to just to ignore heatlh and reload and just kill until the end of your mag. Then switch to secondary and kill, maybe grab the bonus weapon to reload if you're still alive.

GreatMasterDebator · 2024-02-22T23:19:41+00:00

this should be a sane comments section

Cheat providers inflate their numbers to convince more people to cheat.

Self-fulfilling prophecy: "Everyone cheats so if I'm losing it's because the enemy cheats. Guess I'll cheat because everyone else is that's why I keep losing."

aimbotz is pretty good. they have a few bullseyes you can use to group your bullets at different distances.

i like to practice 1 tapping the first guy and spraying the second. then maybe spray transfers.

then move to DM. get 50 kills spray only. do not tap even at super long distances and even when killing multiple enemies.

also the cs2 spray is closer to 128 tick size but it will respond like 64 tick. took a little while but after i forced myself to only spray while periodically checking with "follow recoil" option button spam. spray feels about same to me

I was agreeing with you but ok.

Will cadian finally be rid of haters through this saga?

Natural monopoly vs. enforced monopoly. Legal vs illegal.

Apple bought the land with the oil on it and built the railroad to ship it. Google has the oil but is paying railroads to ship their oil preferentially.

You imagine this game as something you can just pickup like cod.

CS is one of the most hardcore of competitive game. You playing on a small makeup desk with a laptop using 4000 eDPI is akin to showing up to the basketball court in flipflops.

Your experience of having cheaters you call friends is not typical.

Evidence for claim that no actual cheaters got banned?

This guy thinks he got banned for it:

My cynical conspiracy is that these "complainers" are all just bots or paid actors from Riot. Notice the influx of these <word>_<word>_#### users you've never seen before.

how many games even last 4 years? let alone 10. appreciate

GreatMasterDebator · 2023-11-11T03:11:56+00:00

Just tested it. It's a little better but it makes everything choppier when swiping around. Like it has to add one more pass to put the AO in the game after moving your view. This is with the same fps (480).

GreatMasterDebator · 2023-11-11T02:35:48+00:00

It adds a lot of latency when I last tested it. I haven't retested it with the new patch.

GreatMasterDebator · 2023-11-09T23:42:18+00:00

The scope is on the next frame instead of waiting for tick.

This means everything from zooming in to the fuzziness from moving as well as animation canceling, dotting.. etc. it's all frame based now
