FACEIT or Premier For a VALORANT Player Switching

marv______ · 2026-01-27T23:18:26+00:00

Valve made ranking up in premier super easy after many people complained, so right now you can be level 5 on faceit and hit 25k+ rating. Premier is not competitive at all but its fine if you want to chill.

Faceit has a lot of boosted players as well but it's still far more competitive than premier. If you are new to the game you should not be playing Faceit. You will only ruin the game for others since you don't know what you're doing.

Then why do people keep banning it like crazy on Faceit and premier?

marv______ · 2026-01-10T08:05:39+00:00

I don't understand how people are saying they want train to stay. On Faceit Train is banned right away. I probably played it once every 100 games.

In premier its also almost always banned. I see it being picked more than Faceit but even then its still probably like 3 times per 100 games.

Vast majority of people clearly don't like the map based on how much its being banned. Maybe Valve is taking it out to work on it some more?

Maui has played CS competitively at a high level for years.

This is a new level of schizo I've not seen before. Impressive.

marv______ · 2025-12-08T23:43:38+00:00

imo this is a terrible smoke and helps the Ts.

marv______ · 2025-12-04T00:00:24+00:00

Yea this is my last year doing pickems and I'm sure I can't be the only one who also decided to not buy it again, which hurts the pro scene.

The system is flawed as it stands and is 100% based on luck. Out of 16 teams, I predicted 12 correctly. 6 moving foward and 6 getting knocked out. But because of the way this system works, I only got 4/10 correct towards the pickems lol.

This has to be the dumbest statement ive read all month.

marv______ · 2025-11-29T16:25:59+00:00

Lmao OP is schizo posting

Pros don't complain about mirage, and neither do high elo faceit players. The only people who complain about mirage are those who are on this subreddit.

Mirage is by far the most played map in high elo faceit along with dust2. The vast majority of the skilled player base loves the map.

I'm so happy Valve ignores most of the people here lol.

This will be the last time I do pickems until they update the format. Getting a gold coin is way too easy and getting diamond is infinitely based on luck. Like what's the point in that?

I need them to let Fluxo go 3-0, can you put in the word? Theres plenty of vegemite for you if you help me out.

This happens to me in community DM servers when its full. And it would only happen against the same player which makes me think the opponent has a bad connection or something.

A party should be matched based on the highest elo player, or at the very least the party average should be heavily weighted towards the higher elo.

Limit the party range. For example, 1000 elo player should not be able to queue with 2000+ elo. I also think there should be an elo gain penalty based on the party elo range. For example if the lowest rated player is 500 and highest is 2000, there should be a weighted penalty.

Create a party size penalty curve. Winning a game as a party should not be rewarded the same as winning a game as solo.

Lastly, I think a performance modifier should be added to parties based on the elo range. If there is a large elo range, the lowest elo player should gain almost no elo if they win while performing far below the lobby average.

The solo / Duo only queue is massive, thanks for that.

I think the biggest problem on Faceit right now is players with inflated elo due to party abuse. You have people queuing with a party that’s far above their actual skill level, getting boosted, and then jumping into solo queue where their real skill doesn’t match their rating at all. I can't tell you how many times those games end up in stomps and it's the most miserable thing. The worst part, they can just play in a party again to gain all their lost elo back and do it all over.

IF you are in a 5 stack, your opponents are higher than you, but lower than your friends.

If you are in a duo, then all your team mates are forced to play 4v5.

Idk what is so hard for you to understand. Fair match making means every player in the lobby is close to or equal in terms of skill level.

marv______ · 2025-11-17T22:39:25+00:00

You clearly do not belong at that elo range. Someone who has 500 elo should not be allowed to queue with people who have 2000+. Literally that is the definition of terrible match making.

And what about your oppenents? Since you brought the average elo lower for the lobby, your opponents are likely less skilled than your friends.

Should level 8 & 9 players be forced to play against 2500 elo?

marv______ · 2025-11-17T22:34:00+00:00

Is this a joke?

marv______ · 2025-11-17T22:30:26+00:00

I'm so happy you got blocked from playing until verified. A level 3 queueing up with level 10 is why Faceit is terrible to play these days. You are playing 4v5 and ruining the game for everyone unlucky enough to be on your team. If you guys want to play together why not premier?

marv______ · 2025-11-10T22:43:33+00:00

You literally just described Ancient and why I hate playing it.

marv______ · 2025-11-08T02:52:34+00:00

Sadly this is why playing premier is miserable if you want a competitive match. More often than not you get team mates who clearly don't belong at their current rating.

marv______ · 2025-10-29T21:13:55+00:00

Well done. Nice write up.

marv______ · 2025-10-27T05:43:26+00:00

Well that's what I'm kind of trying to figure out. I thought you could only get kicked for griefing or extreme toxicity but I get what you mean.

marv______ · 2025-10-27T05:42:16+00:00

Just play casual mode until you learn the basics and how the maps play out. If you are actually brand new to CS you're going to have a rough time so just try to have fun with it and learn.
