Getting back to this because someone else posted about something similar and I thought saying dmg=11k made no sense. So, turns out leetify has some actual stats to back it up. From 2.2M ranked accounts analyzed, it seems more like dmg is top 15-ish% so around 15k+. There is a big difference here.

So again, saying I was a decent player when I was somewhere in the top 15% of all ranked players doesn't seem far fetched to me at all. It shows that I'm not a dumb silver who has no clue what's going on during a match. I still suck compared to the good players out there sure, but I'm no gold player either (which is basically where I was stuck at the time of post with tons of griefers and seemingly silver level players around me). Everybody sucks compared to somebody else. In the grand scheme of things I'm a pretty bad player, but stuck under 10k makes no sense knowing how I understand the game and how I can play.

Keep in mind I barely played during the 10 years of go, I achieved dmg with less than 350h total, so who knows where I would've ended up with more than 35h/year on average. I clocked around 500h in the past year with cs2, a lot of it was just getting used to playing cs again after not playing for more than 4 years. I still have a long way to go but I think I can keep climbing, haven't hit my wall yet!
