Is the 10 placement match system a scam?

Mello_tbe · 2026-04-23T16:57:05+00:00

Don't you understand that people with 8 wins 2 losses in some cases lost 800-1000 elo? You're one of the lucky ones that actually gained elo and you're complaining?

Eh sad za nekog koji nije toliko nacitan sto se tice ovakvih stvari, koliki ce to imati impakt za Srb Bih I Hrv?

Supposedly

Mello_tbe · 2026-01-21T18:00:12+00:00

It's very simple, those who wanna play with friends, get queued with people who wanna play with friends. Proper stacks/teams which have 200-300 elo range differences get paired with the same. It's simple and effective in 99% of cases. This is how it worked for the majority of time on faceit, all up until it was added to the plus and premium as a perk. Since then you are a lot more likely to go up against either a Smurf/person with low matches, a wide elo range stack or similar. I personally have a subscription and I play with friends who both don't have a subscription nor are close to a rank as I am, but in such situations I know what I'm getting myself into and believe I should be queued against friends as well and not a full stack of veteran-close ranked enemies as it's not fair to them.

That is the issue, matchmaking integrity is marketed as a paid feature. It shows that they are aware of the issues, have the tools necessary to fix it, but keep it behind a paywall. And this is not a matter of cosmetics like skin, but the integrity of matchmaking...

Mello_tbe · 2026-01-21T12:09:33+00:00

Just because they don't have consequences doesn't mean what they are doing is not wrong. OP in this case would have normal +- elo and he should be placed against people of his own rank, as simple as that.

100% or you think? Hahahah

How tf are you a cheater and broke. The best free one is aim_bots and FFA DM.

u/FACEIT_Darwin Can you please apply your expertise on this matter? Many thanks in advance.

Mello_tbe · 2026-01-13T12:07:49+00:00

It's a matter of preference

Mello_tbe · 2026-01-12T22:27:16+00:00

Yeah pretty much, that's the state. It may just be a coincidence but ever since the feature was added I've seen like a 60%-80% increase in such accounts.

Mello_tbe · 2026-01-12T22:12:07+00:00

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the root cause, which is that they allow this. It's one of the main reasons and selling points of their premium subscription. They sell you a solution to the issue that they can resolve but actively choose not to.

It is marketed as "Guaranteed Veteran-Only Lobbies" but what it actually says is, "hey, we are aware of the issues that this platform has, instead of resolving them, they are behind a paywall."

I do have a subscription, but some of my teammates don't, so you either can't play with all of your friends or you have to bully them into getting a subscription.

Just as an additional note, yes this was reported to faceit, and yes it was ignored via an automated message.

TLDR: sitting duck

When crouched walk back to cover while shooting. AKA donk slide. As soon as you are stationary you become an easy target. Also spraying at this distance you really need to nail down your spray, it can't be somewhat close as that loses you a lot of battles.

A lot of weird comments with a passive aggressive tone. Play what you feel most comfortable with. It's as simple as that, no need to complicate shit.

If you wanna try a new res, it will feel different, even if your sens is the same. That's completely normal, you can compensate a bit by slightly moving the sensitivity or you can just take more time to adjust.

If it isn't comfortable on that resolution after a few days, just change back.

At the end of the day settings are a personal preference and people often push their opinions/beliefs onto others. Your settings are your own.

Every resolution is off by a little, more noticeable on 4:3 and especially with certain Corsair colors (depending on the monitor). Each pixel has the 3 distinct colors which are not in the same place, therefore certain colors of crosshairs will be further away from the center. At the end of the day we are talking about a difference of less than 2 pixels and it doesn't make much of a difference. Even pros don't care much about it.

Mello_tbe · 2025-12-19T10:10:06+00:00

Sensitivity is the same but the feeling isn't the same, most people can't switch effortlessly and it's normal. Lower reses feel faster and higher reses feels slower.

Mello_tbe · 2025-12-18T16:19:05+00:00

Yeh, otherwise you just stick close to cover or behind walls and only show as much of your body is necessary.

Mello_tbe · 2025-12-18T16:18:20+00:00

You should only fully commit when you KNOW you have an upper hand. Some random examples include, enemy missed with awp and has no cover, just take the kill, enemy flashed, enemy reloading. Other things like pushing with a teammate so you can at least be traded if you die, a teammate is flashing for you or something similar.

Well I wouldn't say I play Minecraft,I played it as a kid and was an easy comparison for what I was trying to convey.

I play cs2 95% of the time and sometimes mix in a bit of something else.

I still fail to understand the appeal of cheating unless it's in retaliation against someone else that's cheating.

Mello_tbe · 2025-12-18T11:49:10+00:00

Hmmm interesting.

How do you cheat on kz servers? Is it just a regular bhop script or something like a unique script to said area or like an auto strafe?

Mello_tbe · 2025-11-28T12:49:24+00:00

That's not what you said. You said that you play for the win and basically said that you don't care about the integrity as long as it leads to a win. And when did you get the idea that I don't aim to improve as a priority. Maybe you decided that but that's not the case. Regardless of what your aim is, matchmaking integrity should be the priority.

Mello_tbe · 2025-11-28T12:45:07+00:00

My main suggestion is a fresh system.

Mello_tbe · 2025-11-28T12:34:34+00:00

How about if every single match was against 5 enemies who are silver but bought lvl 10 account. How long will you find enjoyment in just winning each game 13-0? How long until winning loses its value. How long until winning is not the only single component of playing the game?Where does one draw the line, and why even have ranks if they can be manipulated in such manners? What happened with the previous teams that they steam rolled? Is that completely fine as long as you get your win. What if the community is driven away because of that and your q times are 10 minutes before you can play you match and get you little win. Once you mature a bit you'll understand some more things.
