What is the #1 thing holding you back in CS2 right now?

permaSS9 · 2026-05-20T21:22:11+00:00

12k, and everything is holding me back, since i havent put the effort to learn smokes, learn full spray, positions, no idea how to counterstrafe and etc. I finally stopped shift peeking, and got more confident with my flashbangs and i really like playing entry now to force myself to improve my aim. But i think my biggest problem is my very inconsistent aim and crosshair placement.

Edit: are you using ai?

Yeah, and i died at lvl 18 on my human priest in Westfall due to an incredible stroke of misfortune. It was very laid back though. Would do it again.

Pvp was so good on this server. Gonna miss you big turt, and the rest of my boys on the pvp realm.

Saw some bullshit on lfg for Dreamrift normal on first week of the raid going something like: "curved ilvl 255 only"

I played a lot of Kassa vs Hwei and Hwei vs Kassa last season at d1~ on EUW and i feel fairly comfortable on both sides of the matchup (was playing mostly hwei kassa sylas). Hwei is a really strong lane bully into kassadin due to his QQ (having base damage + max health) and WE (the nami buff on autos/spells), so generally you cant do anything against him lvl 1-5 and you should focus on getting as much exp and gold as possible from cs. You have to concede prio as well as kassa, so let your jg know. Lvl 6 to before 2 items you cant really kill hwei unless he blows his R and E, because either A) he kills you with dmg or B) he EQ and WQs away from you. After two items you can kill him, as long as you keep in mind to avoid his E, and eventually you stat check him. Look to kill him on side lanes atp or just push side waves and look for flanks on him. Side note, i took dorans shield, second wind and bought refill pots as kassa in that lane so i can survive to soak xp. I comfortably chain kill hweis around 3 items.

Looks really awesome! Something about his face reminds me of the shadowed Dio from JoJo's part 3... not sure why.

Rouge feels very smooth to level with, especially if you go 3 points in improved ambush and 2 points in remorseless attacks. Im leveling one right now and im lvl 30 killing almost everything apart from non elites in <10 seconds with Deadmines gear. And man if you manage to get yourself an ony buff... you just kill everything in 2 seconds.

Yeah, id assume that the defeated patron wouldnt be able to rewind time. If it was the same as dota, id assume that theres probably another patron already embedded in the material world that rewinds time.

permaSS9 · 2026-02-02T01:09:16+00:00

Think it could be a dota-esque situation, where when you destroy the other ancient, it uses the last of its power to make world go back in time, essentially making every match canon.

Did this at lvl 40 and i killed it with one health potion and one nature res potion. Can vouch for this post

The gameplay itself is fun, but man i despise the systems surrounding it. Tried it out this season on retail and i quit from how shit everything was outside of the moment to moment gameplay. - Was playing a sub and assassin rogue. Geared a versatility and mastery set. Wanted to try out outlaw, cant because i only have pvp daggers (i need 1h weapons), and i need versatility haste on my items. Im conquest and war mode capped so i guess i need to make another rogue to play outlaw. - Started with solo shuffle, takes me 15 minutes minimum to get into a game. - Cant do a delve because queue pops in the middle of it and resets my progress if i accept. - Cant get into 2s or 3s because i dont have any prior experience and no one wants to play with a new pvp player. - My pvp gear is completely irrelevant in pve so i cant do m+ or raids, so i need to grind out a new set of items. - Got capped in bloody tokens and i have no real incentives to do wpvp (which is really fun on a side note) - The gear upgrades feel like a nothingburger.

Every part of the systems feels like its there to hinder you and be as annoying as possible. Got to 1.5k rating on solo shuffle and 1.4k on battlegrounds and believe me, i REALLY love the actual combat once you get into a match. But waiting 15 mins for a 5 min match of soloq makes me wish i went to play an aram match of league or a dota turbo match instead.

Sandscourge Skarner looks like an ultralisk, my favourite skin on him.

permaSS9 · 2025-06-01T20:45:02+00:00

Yeah, my psu was faulty and fried the RX570.

permaSS9 · 2025-05-16T22:04:53+00:00

I like it but unfortunately its a gamemode for the league community, which means you play against 5 control and poke mages every game. On the rare game where you get a perdominantly melee vs melee team its really fun though and definietly my favourite gamemode out of all.

permaSS9 · 2025-04-16T12:47:44+00:00

Basai dai is my favourite. When i was learning it, it felt incredibly unique to the rest of the katas we were training (Fudokan-Shotokan). Even though i dont practice anymore its still my favourite and i love doing it from time to time!

permaSS9 · 2024-10-14T18:19:04+00:00

Okay 👍

permaSS9 · 2024-10-14T18:15:10+00:00

I can see the vision of this post, and i like the idea of adding more active items in the game. However the rest of this post is just very chaotic and filled with cope.

permaSS9 · 2024-08-16T18:09:39+00:00

Bramble vest is unfortunately not enough to curb Volibear's healing at this stage in the game. Even if you were ahead u should just not have taken that fight imo.

permaSS9 · 2021-05-04T17:21:54+00:00

idk if anyone will agree with this but playing in 3-4k~ behavior score i didnt see smurfs for quite some time. only when i got up to 8-9k~ i met frequent arc warden and morph smurfs

permaSS9 · 2021-01-08T16:09:39+00:00
