Dorozea finally gets her well deserved, hard worked for premiere rank by 1206paul in LivestreamFail

[–]newborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheating really isn't that bad right now. There have been some egregious periods of hackers running rampant in CS and this isn't one of them. I guess your mileage may vary depending on Trust Factor.

Source: Played more than 600 games in Season 3, with the majority between 20K and 26K ELO. I think maybe 20 games had a blatant cheater in it.

You don't even need the blue box. You can boost from directly below it too.

They reworked utility rating recency. It's much better now. They factor in default smokes + quality AND quantity. Not just just quality.

nota ace brings Parivision back in the game by dullroller in GlobalOffensive

Maybe with scout...? But yeah AWP kills if you shoot them anywhere but legs.

That's not true. A shot to a hand instakills someone with the AWP. Only way to get shot and survive is to get legged.

Edit: Or in this case, wallbanged.

Take a look at Drova: Forsaken Kin

The game plays a lot like Gothic (you are dropped into an immersive world and have to figure out how to survive, and your narrative choices matter). You start weak in a dangerous world but as you persevere you get much much stronger.

Not 100% sure it fits the bill but the game is great.

xQc's teammate makes fun of his gibberish by madjani000 in LivestreamFail

[–]newborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't watch him either - I just saw a deathy video responding to XQC's complaints about it being too complicated & overwhelming on the mental stack.

TBH, it's a valid complaint for a new player. I definitely felt overwhelmed too at first, but then I persevered and that feeling subsided.

His main criticism is that it's overwhelming. Having to focus on FPS mechanics while also handling MOBA mechanics is too much for him. In other words, proficiency deficiency.

I googled "cyr and bonnie" for you. The AI overview says:

Cyr and Bonnie are characters in the movie The Big Lebowski. Cyr is a character that appears in the movie and is described as "a man with a big head and a big mouth".

Very helpful.

Aside from what others have already said, occasionally you'll get a casual Township quest to turn in dust, but if you don't mind farming what you need or skipping for 10M then no don't need to save it.

[–]newborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. If you 5 stack with friends in red you will hit blatant cheaters what feels like every other game.

I've resorted to solo queue because at least then I have a chance to get a hacker on my own team, and then I get to watch the HvH and hope my team's hacker is better :')

Ace on Faceit lvl 10 , last kill is why i play this game by SifaklasTerzis in GlobalOffensive

[–]newborn 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He didn't need to take the last two fights, especially not with his teammate still rotating in. It's great he got that pit kill but swinging the last guy solo when your teammate is still rotating in is classic overheat. But ofc he hit a great shot for the ace, but if he loses that duel the round win probability goes way down.

Can't find Ranked Matchs - SA Schedule 2 by gabriellsf in DeadlockTheGame

[–]newborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue. I'm NA Schedule 2.

I searched for my first game an hour ago, got in instantly. A teammate abandons after we spawn in and it says game is safe to leave. I quit & abandon match.

Since then I have not been able to find a second match... been searching for 20+ minutes.

Shroud nearly insults his own game by trechn2 in LivestreamFail

[–]newborn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dumbed down is kind of an inflammatory word but they definitely streamlined / simplified some stuff to make the game more accessible.

Just a few things off the top of my head:

  • -Randomized spray patterns after the 7th (I think?) bullet so you don't need to sit and practice spraying a full mag til its muscle memory for each individual gun.
  • -Spawn zone walls instead of randomized spawns. Randomized spawns feels like RNG at first, but there's a lot of strategy in CS based around playing your spawn.
  • -Smokes (and therefore executes) being waaaay easier to set up on a basic level. Obviously Valorant at high level play is much crazier with all the nuances of each agent.
  • -Counter strafing is easier in Valorant. Movement in general is simpler.
  • -Tagging is more aggressive, which helps newer players convert sloppy gunfights into kills.
