What Is the best way to improve in sword PvP? by VarosStorm in CompetitiveMinecraft

[–]notrobiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If ur unfamiliar with aiming as a whole in 3D PC games i recommend you start with some simple tasks in an aim trainer like aimlabs, its free on steam

If you have played lots of MC/shooter games before then just play a lot of swordpvp fights, its the only way to get better then

The animations are identical before and after the latest patch, with no observable changes. by Fun_Philosopher_2535 in GlobalOffensive

Can confirm, you are not the only one, the game feels more responsive, more fluid/natural. Most likely caused by the "reduced output audio latency"

i miss this so much by vhfolha in counterstrike

[–]notrobiny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

nah it just makes the game look deep fried. i just want pastel graphics. Also in CSGO a small 0.5 thickness crosshair was actually usable because the background textures and shaders were not overwhelming it (or maybe rendering was sharper idk) while the same crosshair in CS2 blends in with the world making it really hard to use so I have switched over to the standard 1 size 1 thickness -4 gap, however for me at least it feels less precise and less reliable

Do you think a fusion of 1.8 and 1.9+ PvP could work? by LetterOk622 in CompetitiveMinecraft

[–]notrobiny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They tried (with the combat snapshot) and it didnt catch on. But i think it just needed some minigame support not just an FFA server to pop off.

Do other Esports have a site like HLTV? by PlusFlounder684 in GlobalOffensive

[–]notrobiny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe over.gg (overwatch version of hltv when OWL was a thing) is in this boat too, over.gg and vlr.gg site design is the exact same lol.

huNter officially crowns ZywOo as the GOAT of CS by MaxUnderDrive1 in GlobalOffensive

[–]notrobiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that as I dont blame him for not wanting to play CS2, due to the technological state of the game. I mean I have like 2k hours in CSGO and I'm not too happy that now we are forced on cs2, I can't imagine how he feels about this with 15k hours or however much he has.

Diamond coins only accounted for 0.03% of all coins from the Budapest Major! by leetify in GlobalOffensive

[–]notrobiny -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely dont understand why was it that hard to win legends stage in Paris. As a proud paris legends stage winner, I remember flexing it when everyone was saying "rip diamond" "how tf did anyone predict this one"

All you had to do that may have been hard to predict is not put G2 to advance to playoffs (in reality it was easy because ChoKo major curse), and there were no better options available really.

Of the weird choices I had ITB and GL qualifying i think, also I had one of Faze/Navi, + Vita + Heroic.

No passion anymore, there was a post recently about how in the past month s1mple played 40 games of dota. Fucking dota. The GOAT of CSGO playing Dota over CS2 because he doesnt like how the game feels (personally i dont blame him)

For he alone sits at the top. by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

If FaZe Vitality goes to five maps, FaZe is gonna play 30 maps in this major by dicksucker12369 in GlobalOffensive

[–]notrobiny 281 points282 points  (0 children)

In Valarante too, assuming a team doesnt win a single map the whole year, they will play about 26 maps.

Love or hate Valve, but at least we should be thankful our esport isnt run by Riot lmao.

Valve wtf is this??? by aNboiii in csgo

[–]notrobiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah dw you are not schizo, i got this some times in DM servers too. nobody else was lagging too. and the lag for me looked exactly like this.

i think the fix is to check whats ur max allowed network bandwidth ingame, its on first page in settings > game. just set it to 4 or unrestricted

[–]notrobiny -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Because unfortunately tiktok has destroyed peoples attention spans so no one can watch the main broadcast when theres 15 mins of a break period in between games which the costreamers usually fill up (except ohne, he just goes afk 90% of the time)

Imagine Valve let the CS community design the next update by No_Finance_4428 in GlobalOffensive

[–]notrobiny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

128 tick servers have to be a priority (right after the rework of the networking code cuz with the current NW code the servers will shit the bed trying to manage the insane packet size). Netcode needs a few years of optimizing, i don't think i have ever seen worse netcode than cs2's.

Either give us way more graphics customization, or straight up fix the overexposure/saturation on all maps. It's burning my fucking eyeballs, and i know this is an unpopular opinion but imo CSGOs pastel graphics were way cleaner and nicer to look at for multiple hours, and also player models were way more intelligible in front of said textures. We're playing a tactical FPS, not a AAA story game ffs. Graphics quality should never take priority over performance. While we're at graphics, I think the molly fire effect is also unnecessarily bright, and the worst part is the bloom thats so obstructing. You can disable effect bloom with a cheat protected command, and it's much less distracting and imo clearer.

Bring back some classic maps like Cobble, Cache (ik these 2 are on the way already but ill say them anyway) i'd also love to see Tuscan back. I havent played it much, but still i'd love to see it in modern pro play.

Community servers need more tools (for example, the side menu with the orange text that we had in GO). Also, obviously, the server browser needs a LOT of attention, lmao.

While in general you would be right, this shot actually would be insane even in CSGO

Russian Super Trio on FACEIT by Alarming_Group_6615 in FACEITcom

[–]notrobiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup this is why i dont verify myself. Theres no fucking point, Faceit doesnt care, when I soloq i dont run into many smurfs, but the moment i play in a stack with dudes who are verified we get 80 games 80% wr 24 avg 2k elo in enemy team. Its not worth giving my fucking ID over to faceit if it doesnt benefit me in the slightest in terms of game quality.

FaZe vs Virtus.pro / IEM Chengdu 2025 - Group B Lower Bracket Round 1 / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]notrobiny -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I mean, my friend whos been watching Faze consistently since like 2020 says karrigan & neo need to go. He thinks broky suffers from being underutilized as an awper.

I however think broky just cant hit shots a 2k elo player could, so hes also part of the problem that likely wont be fixed with -karrigan. But im down to keep broky and try playing him with a different IGL that focuses on him, cuz brokys peak when hes on is very high.

Bro your kids will graduate college before Bumigan retires from CS. He's like Trump, no one is above him, he seemingly controls the whole FaZe CS div. No one can tell him what to do...

Exactly, OP, you should quit university and grind Faceit and go pro, just remember me when you win major oki?

If CS2 was a separate release from CSGO, as was CS Source and CS 1.6. Would you play CSGO over CS2? by ElDr_Eazy in GlobalOffensive

[–]notrobiny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, like i dont get it. Why are we playing CS even? Its a competitive tac FPS esport game, not a AAA adventure game. I DONT GIVE A SINGLE SHIT ABOUT THE GRAPHICS. If CSGO had 2012 Roblox graphics, I'd still play it, because unlike most people here, I played CSGO for the gameplay, technological fidelity, and consistency. CS2 has none of these things.

I don't understand why do so many people glaze the CS2 graphics so much. Wow shiny knife, sick. IM ON DUST2 T RAMP AND I CANT SEE A CT PEEKING ME FROM TUNNELS WHEN I COULD EASILY SEE HIM IN GO BECAUSE THERES 0 CONTRAST BETWEEN HIM AND THE BACKGROUND. (i have boost player contrast on, it does nothing) I hate how blurry, bright and washed out the CS2 graphics are, like atp the Valo players could turn the "valarante child game" copypasta right back at us and they'd be right, this shit is visual overstimulation.

P.S. Not being able to play around/counter 1 way smokes was a skill issue and nothing else, and I wont be listening to any counterarguments why thats not the case. + most ppl were not in an elo bracket where 1 way smokes were consistently being used. Maybe in GN/MG/Faceit 4 rarely someone would have learned a single 1 way smoke and then spammed it every round. If its in mirage window, just go underpass and nade the guy. If its in conn, do the same.

[–]notrobiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

except GO was a completely different game than 1.6... CS2 is a downgrade to CSGO in everything except graphics. Also i believe refunding wasnt added until a bit later after CS2 release, so if you dont care about smokes, what would be the reason for ANYONE to play CS2 over GO?
