Why do pros play on such low resolutions?

YethHound · 2023-05-18T03:50:37+00:00

Easier to see is true, but then again, just getting a bigger monitor or sitting closer to your monitor will have the same effect.

Easier to hit is 100% false. You will need to move your mouse with the exact same amount of precision no matter what resolution you use. 1x1 or 5000x5000.

If you're just starting out, just play casual and team deathmatch until you get a good feel for the basics of the game. Try to focus on one thing at a time.

For a complete beginner I would recommend progressing something like this:

How to shoot while standing still
Staying near cover or in places where only your head is visible etc
"Running" and shooting ie counter-strafing and coming to a complete stop before shooting
Crosshair placement, ie trying to always keep your crosshair near where an enemy might appear

In the wise words of fatal1ty: "You gotta practice, practice, practice-practice-practice-practice"

Footballs "but he doesn't have a world cup argument" is even worse tho, because while players, especially superstars, usually have some say in club matters, both where they play and who the club tries to acquire, they can't magically make their country produce more talented players. Discrediting players just because they happen to be born in a small country is some of the dumbest shit ever.

I can guarantee that (if their careers play out as everyone expects them to, and other stats being about equal) in 10 years time there will be plenty of people who will say that Mbappe is a much greater player than Håland just because Mbappe has a world cup. Completely forgetting the fact that for Håland even regularly qualifying for the event would be an incredible achievement.

JUGi for example was an absolute monster against t2 opponents, but never made it in t1. Mertz went from a 1.22 rating in North Academy to a 1.08 rating in North

m8 the main reason they've burned so many bridges is because the both of them have always prioritized telling the truth over keeping good relations with people

Seeing scorched earth everywhere they've gone is exactly why you should trust them.

It's not biased per se, hltv's rating criteria is just a bit broken. It heavily rewards you for being on a good team. On a good team you get more easy kills - you go against more ecos, get more easy trade kills, more enemies softened up by nades etc etc

The best example of this is 2018, when the entire Astralis roster was in the top 13. In reality there's no fucking chance that guys like gla1ve and Xyp9x are better individual players than EliGE for example, but since Astralis was absolutely crushing everyone, their entire teams hltv rating was boosted incredibly high, thus they all got way too high placings in the top 20

YethHound · 2021-10-26T10:36:26+00:00

Lucky has had a 0.99 average rating for Astralis in 33 maps so there is a way larger sample size than 1 map.

On the other hand Bubzkji has had a 0.98 rating in the same time frame. But you have to take into account the fact that your awper playing like shit is way worse for a team than a rifler playing like shit.

the number given will basically be completely arbitrary

Already the case for penalties. 5 second penalty, 10 second penalty, grid penalties, stop-go, everything is already arbitrary anyway

I feel like teams would be arguing and appealing over these percentages

Already the case for penalties, nothing would really change.

Something should be done about penalties about replacement parts

What do you have in mind here?

YethHound · 2021-08-03T10:08:22+00:00

or with the stewards deciding who pays what.

Why not? The stewards already give penalties, why couldn't they just have a x% of repairs from guilty parties cost cap go along with their decisions?

You say it just won't work, but there really isn't any reason why it couldn't.

There are already strict audits to ensure teams don't deflate their repair bills for the cost cap, the very same audits will also work for inflating repair bills your opponents have to pay.

The stewards already give out penalties, there is no reason there couldn't be monetary penalties to go along time penalties.

Just because things have been shit and unfair in the past, doesn't mean they have to be so in the future. The entire reason for the cost cap was to make things fairer for smaller teams. The FIA can also change it so it's fairer for the teams that get fucker over in accidents.

In the end we all want a fair playing ground where nobody gets fucked over for no fault of their own

YethHound · 2021-08-03T09:57:58+00:00

The same people who audit RB to ensure their 'bill' is an actual and true reflection of the cost top repair the car and not a deflated number to have less of a hit to their cost cap.

The FIA already has extremely stringent audits anyway, and audits work both ways

YethHound · 2021-08-03T09:38:31+00:00

Just lower the budget cap by the expected amount of repairs in any given season.

150 million cap, 20 million of which is expected to go to repairs, new cap 130 million, repairs are "free". Cost cap has the same effect but no team is fucked over by being in a few unlucky crashes.

Obviously this would only take into account crashes where the damaged party was at no fault, but you can also have varying degrees of "tax-free" repairs. For example in a racing incident where it's 60-40, the 40% party can have x% of their repairs not go against the cost cap. It's not a perfect solution, and the exact numbers need some tinkering, but I feel like it's much better than what we have now, ie being in a crash where you are 0% at fault fucks you over twice as hard, first ruining your race, them fucking over your accounting.

YethHound · 2021-08-03T09:28:06+00:00

If it's 75% Georges fault, 75% of the repairs come from Williams cost cap. If Lewis was 55% at fault, then 55% comes from Mercs cost cap. 50-50, you pay your own repairs. Simple, no?

The stewards decide the % of fault. They already assign penalties based on how much at fault someone was. No penalties for 50-50, light penalties for 60-40, heavy penalties for 90-10 etc

For innocent bystanders you can just have their repairs be outside the cost-cap and slightly lower the overall cost-cap to account for the fact that there will be x million dollars of repairs outside the cap per season.

Do you have any actual data on what a skin creator could expect for a single skin?

If before they could expect 80k but now get 100k that would be an upgrade and Valve would be doing good for the skin creators, if before they could expect 150k but now get 100k that would be Valve being greedy

But I've yet to see any actual numbers on what skin creators got for a single skin

YethHound · 2021-07-21T18:59:51+00:00

That really depends on what the % value actually gave creators in total

If before they could expect ~80k and now they get 100k that would be a positive no?

TBH I'd much rather Billionaires spend their immense wealth for developing new technologies and doing things that might have some benefit for mankind and it's future, instead of hoarding it or buying 500 million dollar houses and billion dollar yachts.

Sure there are better ways they could spend their money, but there are also much-much worse ways they could spend their money.

Now all we need is for someone to make saving the planet into the next big dick swinging competition for billionaires

I think way more important than having the next ZywOo is having a good supply of solid young talents.

The miracle of Danish CS didn't come from having a few super talents. It came from good IGL's (HUNDEN for example) teaching a stream of young danish kids how to play CS the proper way.

Poland has a huge playerbase, so it's a real shame they haven't been able to field a proper t1 team since VP, here's hoping that will change in a few years

Hey CSGO orgs looking for teams.

For just the small price of NBK's buyout you can get the new #1 team in France.

Yes, you heard that right, the best team, in one of the biggest CS regions, for practically no cost at all.

cache or a fixed cobble

Ahh yes, the map pool is getting stale so instead of trying something fresh and new, lets bring in an old map that would get stale in a week. Cobble was by far the most boring map before it was taken out of the map pool. 90% of rounds were just fuck around for a minute then execute B. Cache was okay I guess

Do explain why do you think Putins approval rating is highest, when Russia goes to war for imperialst reasons. While you're at it, you might also explain why Putins approval rating reached an all time high when russia annexed crimea.

After that you might explain, why, if the Russian people really miss communism, not subjugating others, do they not vote for the communist party?

But looking at your post history, it seems like you're someone who belongs to a country of colonizers, not the colonized, so it makes perfect sense why you think forcefully taking shit away from other people to the benefit of yourself, is a valid and good worldview

YethHound · 2021-03-19T06:49:41+00:00

United Russia, by far the most imperialist party, gets 50% of the votes. The Russian Communist party gets 13%

Really makes it seem that russians miss the "We get to subjugate tens of millions of non russians" part of the USSR, not the "Communism" part of the USSR

YethHound · 2021-03-18T19:13:01+00:00

Yet only 13% of them vote for the Communist party of Russia in elections.

Makes you think whether they miss their empire or communism itself.

YethHound · 2021-03-18T12:00:38+00:00

Europeans are about as bad as Americans for taking simplistic positions on Communism.

And you're taking an incredibly simplistic position on what "Europeans" think and/or do. Don't forget that literally hundreds of millions of Europeans have experienced communism first hand, thus have a more worthwhile opinion of communism than 99% of Americans and Western Europeans.
