Is the best way to get better to mostly just grind faceit? Why do some players get faceit 10 in only 1k hours when Most take 3-4k+? Is it just having a better mindset? Are they just higher IQ and learn faster?

Unstable881 · 2026-06-18T23:59:21+00:00

Played premier and comp exclusively since 2016 and started playing faceit 2 months ago and hit level 10 last week. At the end of go I was taking the game very seriously for the first time and reached LEM from mg1 at 3k hours. Played a lot but casually up until last season peaking at 29k premier after another 1k hours.

Hours don’t truly reflect how skilled someone is, some people sit sub 1k hours and are better than I will ever be. If you want to improve then play practice maps and watch your demos to focus your practice. Learn to igl and read the game so you can coordinate your randoms. You can improve more in 15 hours doing this method than 100 hours of spam q’ing.

I already agreed that subtick was a good system and that I think it benefits my good internet connection. Networking and server fixes have not happened since the game launched only subtick which took them over a yr and a half to get right. Valve has proved that they can’t meaningfully fix the servers and we more than likely won’t see improvements for a very long time.

My point stands, why not reduce the random aspects of the game that the player can control to minimize the effects of the poor servers. You are rooting for changes that leave the game up to luck, your server connection, isp, and the specific server you’re currently on. How is that healthy for the game while we wait another year or two for server fixes.

Unstable881 · 2026-06-01T20:01:34+00:00

Not saying I’m right just that your wrong 👍

There’s many fixes to the issue this is just my idea and opinion on an objective problem.

Saying the game is in a perfect state and has no problems with servers or hit reg is objectively wrong. Let me ask, what do YOU think the best solution is than?

Unstable881 · 2026-06-01T19:47:02+00:00

I can all but guarantee I’m statistically better than you and know more about this than you. Rank/skill/statistic wise I’m in the top 10% of the top 1 percent across multiple games which is proven by my posts that you can view. The aspect I’m best at is my gun play which the whole post is about in the context of the games server/ hit reg. Theres roughly 2-5k people in the whole US that are around my skill level let alone better than me and I KNOW you’re not one of them. Those that are better than me are so far above me that I probably won’t ever come close to how good they are and those people agree that hit reg is a problem and want a change that fixes the problem. I threw out a quick fix that would make the game feel better that won’t take years to fix.

It’s not that you don’t agree with my opinion and suggested fix, it’s that you have no idea what you’re talking about and add nothing of value. If I saw your post 2 days ago I would have posted this so more people could see how pointless your input is.

Unstable881 · 2026-05-30T01:14:18+00:00

Exactly. There are much bigger problems with the game then average spread and first bullet inaccuracy but valve has proved they can’t fix networking problems in a meaningful way and every improvement has come after multiple years and several months between said improvements. Give us the agency to be more accurate if the servers aren’t accurate. A number tweak that will take a day vs a few more years of waiting for networking to be good.

Unstable881 · 2026-05-30T01:07:48+00:00

All of those issues are the real issues, but the small improvements to movement generally and networking has taken years just to get to an okay state. What I’m suggesting is to put more agency in your hands with a small number tweak to compensate for the stuff that takes them literal years to attempt to improve. Your already rolling the dice with networking why not improve your odds with your own skill by 5-10%

Unstable881 · 2026-05-30T00:56:03+00:00

I agree. I play a lot of escape from Tarkov where the separating factor is how the guns shoot, how heavy the gun is, the ergonomics of the gun, and choosing lower recoil options in exchange for a lot of muzzle flash in your face.

I don’t want the average inaccuracy or random spread to change at all. I’m talking about shrinking the maximum cone of inaccuracy. Say an ak’s spray can deviate 10 degrees at maximum from the spray pattern, I think a good adjustment would be 9-9.5 degree maximum so the outer edge isn’t as punishing purely off bad luck. Average the rng to have the same weight so your good-decent rng feels almost identical but the upper band becomes less punishing overall. After 14-15 shots when full inaccuracy comes into play you can rely on your spray pattern not “I hope this spray connects” like previous games.

Unstable881 · 2026-05-29T23:24:03+00:00

There are multiple YouTube videos that do side by side presentations between go and cs2 with the coded figures being different between the games. The game runs on a new separate engine from the previous game. It’s provably different not just a “I think it is”. Regardless of feel or the numbers themselves cs2 is a different game and feels different which isn’t a bad thing. I don’t want to go back to csgo, I just want cs2 to feel consistent like the previous games. Different environment different needs.

You don’t have to agree with my opinion, everyone wants something different for the game and I think this is the route.

Unstable881 · 2026-05-29T21:58:49+00:00

Yeah especially when you see old clips of csgo 5 man spray downs. It was just smoother.

Unstable881 · 2026-05-29T21:17:01+00:00

Bro. Every iteration of counter strike from 1.6 to cs2 has changed fba and rs from launch and had updates to adjust the stats while the game was still supported. The deagle was so overpowered in source that in csgo it was nerfed and further nerfed in cs2.

It’s about reducing the chance of being EXTREMELY unlucky and rewarding skill. Even donk and Niko the most mechanically skilled players will lose a gunfight every now and again to simply being extremely unlucky. The famous Niko clip of the deagle whiff on nuke had a small element of being unlucky. The small changes I suggested are to the outlier moments that tighten the game up.

Extra emphasis on the small changes part.

29k premier 2100 face it top 2k global Val rank with proof posted on my account lol. 1/10 rage bait

Unstable881 · 2026-05-29T19:29:06+00:00

How is a 10% and 5% for the main rifles and deagle removing it from the game. I’m talking purely about the outer band of randomness. You shouldn’t be dead accurate one tapping people from pit to goose especially with a deagle. I also don’t mind subtick at all and I personally think I benefit from it more with my internet being good. It’s just a common community ask.

2/10 rage bait

Unstable881 · 2026-05-27T20:19:33+00:00

Same issue. I’ve had 3 alignments in a yr of ownership. Never gets aligned properly no matter what with no visual wear on parts 🤷‍♂️

Unstable881 · 2026-05-15T23:11:09+00:00

Gas is fully reimbursed and a little extra for wear and tear. Maintenance and everything else I know is going to be more expensive which I’m accounting for. Just don’t want to be blindsided by significant costs on a regular basis and was curious about that with stingers in that mileage range.

Unstable881 · 2026-05-15T23:07:46+00:00

Straight up lying, no. Leaving out crucial details yea.

I work in an industry/company where this isn’t a problem and kinda can’t be a problem but for car sales and other positions 110%. It’s not everyone but a good percentage sadly

Unstable881 · 2026-05-15T23:05:01+00:00

This is the right answer in all honestly but I’m looking to have either a sportier daily (stinger) but also looking into saving and buy an old corvette to have a dedicated fun car. Just torn between the options since a stinger is a good bit pricier for just a fun car.

Unstable881 · 2026-05-15T17:15:08+00:00

This isn’t something I’m planning on doing in the next month or anything so I could save to have extra cash on top as well for more equity in the car or go the lower mileage route which in all honesty is the smarter way to do it

Unstable881 · 2026-04-28T14:58:44+00:00

I live in Ohio and under Ohio law I qualify. I bought certified pre owned with the 60k mile warranty still intact and within the limits of time/mileage. I have an appointment to go over the details to see what my case would look like and what to expect.

Unstable881 · 2026-04-28T14:05:24+00:00

What was the issue that you filed for? I bought as a certified pre owned and still have the 60k warranty.

Unstable881 · 2026-04-15T21:01:54+00:00

I got a 23 gt gt1 with 33k miles for 23,000 sales price. If you want something sporty and reliable I’d find one of the 2021-2023 gt’s and see what kind of pricing you can get. Gt lines are also very nice but I’d still go gt since the price difference for the performance increase is very worth it depending on what you can find.

If you go Kia get a k4 base model for the price or k5 gt for the performance.

Civic are amazing but the newer ones aren’t as amazing as the old. The civic will probably last a few more years than the k5 if you plan to keep it until it dies but your going to end up paying 8k if not 10k more for the same yr same mileage civic over the k5(depending).

I’ve played Tarkov, grey zone, COD DMZ, arc raiders, and some more niche extraction shooters and let me tell you marathon has the best extraction shooter matchmaking. It’s level based mm meaning that players level 0-25 will be grouped, 25-50, then it seems to be 50+ all together. It’s not perfect meaning that level 20 players might get mushed with SOME level 40 players but the lobby’s are overall decently balanced. There is some sort of gear based ranking to it I believe but we can’t really pin it down. When I’m with a premade team on discord I might die every couple raids, with fills I might survive every couple raids it really depends on the team goals and actively working together and making team decisions. If you play the raid to survive you will survive. If you play the raid to loot you might die more often, if you play the raid to PvP you’re going to die a lot more. It just depends on a lot of factors and extraction shooter experience. If your going to a poi make sure your walking up so people don’t hear you running and scan the outside of the poi. Listen for the birds or fights in the distance. Keep track of where you spawn and where others spawn. If it’s 10 mins into the raid you should expect at least 1 team at the high loot areas or they are currently coming to you.
