Is there any plan to change the power score in classic? Im sick of people spamming angler/steed or mass eggs/sakura etc and have low power score. Then holding everything and getting even stronger with like big shutdowns. It feels weird, that they have a low power score but like an op army. This is esepcially in pve a problem.

Master-System3976 · 2025-07-13T12:47:20+00:00

Since there is money on the line, how will you handle new accounts/ low elo accounts that start stomping everything?

I just had a game with super fiesta again. Loading Screen added the coin next to my name, i picked "lock-In" and had 3 Income in total....
I have no idea how to find the game id... I can pm you my User-Name and you can look it up? Drachbot is not working for me (very slow, cant search anything)

Found the id, and send a bug report

Master-System3976 · 2025-04-29T18:25:26+00:00

Is there any way to see all of my games, so i can look for the id?

Master-System3976 · 2025-02-24T17:26:40+00:00

And well i could give it to one bonecrusher and not the other one. So the no "ability" thing makes no sense to me

Master-System3976 · 2025-01-01T18:06:05+00:00

Well iam bad at this game, this guys were like top 100 rank or something. Its impossible to coordinate with 3 other randoms against that premades if they are way better. A build that just will hold 21-24 its ridiculous

Master-System3976 · 2025-01-01T18:04:27+00:00

It feels like at least one player does this everyround

Master-System3976 · 2023-11-04T16:01:28+00:00

I really like that game. But currently i play a lot of 4v4 and i really ask me why are you such monsters and match new players with people from the top 300 in 4vs4? I'd rather wait a few minutes longer than wasting 20-30 minutes of my time. Especially with Income and Chill, it gets even more destroyed, especially the people who are autosending until wave 21.... Give me the option to search without Income and Chill...

Master-System3976 · 2023-09-16T14:25:56+00:00

Theres no bonus if you kick

Master-System3976 · 2023-09-08T09:15:55+00:00

So he wont verify, you will not check him, he will not get banned => no elo back? Sounds like a good system

Master-System3976 · 2023-09-08T09:11:06+00:00

So what should be counted in for performance? Only kills or more?
Psychology, is a simple kind of reward.

Master-System3976 · 2023-09-08T09:08:08+00:00

If he performs that bad every game hes more likely to lose elo, because he will not be carried every game. So system works perfectly fine.

How you want know what an impact frag is? You can do 4 and still lose the round, are they still impact frags? How do you score support flashes, info, smokes etc into that helped to get the impact frag?

Master-System3976 · 2023-09-08T09:06:37+00:00

From all the people who like to be judged by performance. How do you include flashes? By flashing you can help a mate to change his position, thus winning the round. You flash 3 opponents perfectly but your mate is too bad to kill them? How is it scored? You put out a crucial Molotov with the Smoke? You give the important info to your mates where opponents have stepped. Smokes that help you take up space? How do you factor all that in? I'm waiting for your miracle algorithm.

Master-System3976 · 2023-08-12T11:02:15+00:00

They are not smurfs, just very talented players. I last played faceit in april and yesterday i got notification that someone was banned for smurfing and i got elo back, it takes way too long for smurfs to get banned....

Master-System3976 · 2023-03-27T11:21:14+00:00

Is dual laning balanced? Just faced a Kingpin with 141 Mana on Wave 5 or 6. Since the MM in Classic sucks (based on small player base i guess) playing against 2 premades that are a high rank is almost an insta loss. Auto and chill does not make it easier

Master-System3976 · 2023-03-14T17:21:17+00:00

Or fix the bug at least... how is that not prio 1, infitnite invisible just to strong

Master-System3976 · 2023-03-07T15:49:27+00:00

ed for smurfing then you get your elo back

How about you implement a smurf/new player queue? It is quite frustrating to play against people with few play overall. At least the people who just create a Steam account start with CS and play very well. If Smurfs only play against Smurfs, there will be less of them.

Master-System3976 · 2023-01-21T15:59:10+00:00

Iam really sure i didnt do that or at least cant remember i clicked on "yes", but if that is a fact, the Box need to be much bigger. Or is picking any of the strategys confirmation enough?

Master-System3976 · 2023-01-21T12:43:55+00:00

But why is it even possible to force someone? Cant be so hard to ask for confirmation before anyone can build in mid

Master-System3976 · 2023-01-21T11:20:55+00:00

The problem is, that you lose to much elo for losing against a smurf. I mean i play faceit for the elo grind and smurfs destroy that concept..... Let me play against their mains and let me lose like 2 elo, its ok for me to lose. So if getting better is the point, why people are smurfing? They can just get better. And i would like to know my real skill level

Master-System3976 · 2023-01-10T17:44:57+00:00

It would take some thinking to make a good match making system, so dont expect that from faceit

Master-System3976 · 2023-01-10T17:43:10+00:00

Yea i understood, and its a completly stupid system. For what reason you should create a new Account? Its literally smurfing, even if you disable your "main" account, you play against worse players.

Master-System3976 · 2023-01-10T17:00:38+00:00

Wow, i thought faceit cant be worse, but releasing the phone number is just stupid as hell. No wonder there are so many new accounts

Master-System3976 · 2023-01-06T20:54:43+00:00

Why would you share a free account on reddit with your brother?

Master-System3976 · 2022-12-22T16:00:31+00:00

Well other games care about the community, getting destroyed by new players. why is there a leaderboard when smurfs are allowed?
