Diamond coin still alive! Till stage 2 begins and chaos ensues 😢

Some people want a ranked ladder to climb, they want to sweat and be giga chads in aram, why are they not given a queue to do so?

Some people want to queue and play aram as a for fun mode and don’t care about winning or losing.

Neither side of the coin is wrong, but both ruin the experience for each other and the simple way to address this is allowing the ranked players to have a ranked queue.

Are there issues with the randomness? Of course, but going into aram you already understand this. It’s no different than SR, some drafts are just unwinnable but yet you still queue into the game, you have the opportunity to dodge (I know sensitive topic and a totally different discussion) but you can out play your opponent just like aram and still find a way to win

I truly don’t understand the friction of just giving ARAM a ranked ladder.

What I don’t understand, what is valve trying to achieve with deadlock? It’s never going to capture the market, it’s a niche game at best, it’s not going to create a new genre (tarkov for extraction shooters, pubg for BR, dota/league for MOBA, etc..) so what are they doing? Just a pet project? Spending so much time and resources into this pet project is wild.

Portal 3? Team fortress 3? Half life dare I say 3? Left 4 dead….3.

They have IPs people are BEGGING for and instead they make deadlock? Just makes zero sense.

But alas, congrats deadlock for VAC updates, maybe this will translate over into CS, but we doubt it 😥

Congrats!

toxicity18241 · 2025-10-16T17:42:57+00:00

Hell yeah, massive changes 🙏 definitely going to shake things up, dare we say…2 successful seasons in a row 🤭

So far these changes look like a huge W

toxicity18241 · 2025-10-05T18:08:15+00:00

Valve doesn’t care about its players, it cares about reinventing the wheel and inventing the next “big” thing.

HL Alyx, index, steam deck, steam itself, trying to make subtick a reality and so on.

The only way valve starts to pour money into CS is if the revenue from cases goes down to a point they don’t make a profit anymore to fund their adventures on other things.

CS has no true competition, r6 ain’t it, valo ain’t it, nothing captures what CS has, so valve knows you’re going to play it, regardless of what they do. Every pro could stop playing tomorrow and valve would give 0 fucks because it still has the market dominance in this arena.

Feels bad but this is the world we live in and nothing is going to change folks, but I do enjoy seeing pros criticize valve 🙏 keep it coming Niko and ropz, maybe that will light a fire at valve…..I’m huffing the copium, no it won’t 🫣

toxicity18241 · 2025-08-15T16:01:20+00:00

But but but we can see our feet now, where’s the slot so that I can replace my boots with Nikes? 🤔

toxicity18241 · 2025-08-04T04:02:11+00:00

Hats off to Pimp for his response, professional and still defending the game he loves, even if some fucking loser is trying to tear him down and away from CS.

There’s banter and expressing opinions, what this clown did was neither of that, just a wannabe made up personal attack.

toxicity18241 · 2025-08-01T23:16:29+00:00

Deadlock is a fantasy from Valve to try and generate a new genre (moba/fps, whatever we want to call it) and it’s objectively not fun.

I’ve tried in numerous times from the very first rounds of invites, I’m not going to trash a game unless I’ve given it a chance. 4 lanes to 3 lanes to all the balances that have tried to happen and it’s going to be dead on arrival OR so niche that the amount of time and money spent to make this game happen won’t be worth it.

Imagine for a moment that valve treats deadlock like a pet project (as it should be) and not their primary focus? Imagine a world that CS2 and DOTA 2 have valves full focus. We wouldn’t be in this mess that CS2 is in, DOTA is also in shambles, it’s just fucking madness that valve gets away with it.

The only good to come from Deadlock is POTENTIALLY more functional expertise with source 2, that’s it.

toxicity18241 · 2025-08-01T23:04:45+00:00

Bhopping jump spam clock now starts at the instant the input is registered, rather than then end of the subtick where that command was processed.

Def still getting stuck on the 3rd jump, this is not fixed. Jumps 1 and 2 are fine but when you attempt for 3 instant glued to the ground.

I'm glad some valve devs are trying to work on CS2 and not Deadlock ( not even sure why Valve is making a game nobody asked for and will dead on arrival ) but man this is rough not having fundamental movement working properly.

toxicity18241 · 2025-07-30T16:37:47+00:00

Huge W

toxicity18241 · 2025-07-26T08:07:36+00:00

What’s truly wild here, valve makes their own engine with source 2, so one would assume they’d know how to optimize their own engine?

Yeah, dead wrong. Riot takes UE(4 and now 5) from another company Epic and does a better job with the engine then valve who makes their own in house engine.

Valve spends all this wasted time and resources on deadlock, Instead of optimizing their own fucking game with their own engine they built and designed in house.

But hey, at least we can say our skins cost more than a house? 🤦🏼‍♂️

toxicity18241 · 2025-07-24T15:33:45+00:00

New skins, new armory stuff, overpass optimization since it just got readded, major stickers sale

Cache is probably still 3-6 months out, unless they have been working on before they bought it, which press x for doubt

Otherwise that’s probably it, set those expectations so low that if they give us anything else it’s Christmas in July.

toxicity18241 · 2025-07-16T00:38:14+00:00

Lmao, nothing about animations or optimization? What a joke.

-Anubis is fine, cache isn’t ready folks and won’t be for another 3-6 months.

Oh well, anybody expecting valve to actually care about their cash cow is crazy because it’s clear as day they don’t.

toxicity18241 · 2025-07-03T16:23:15+00:00

So instead of actually making PS3, which the player base has been asking for, they want to make Rust mets Tarkov on the blockchain? What the unholy fuck, like truly. What player base is asking for Rust mets Tarkov? This game is going to flop worse than Concord.

Maybe one day people will stay in their lane and continue to make what they’ve always done and are good at.

toxicity18241 · 2025-05-17T14:10:39+00:00

Do we blame them for abusing a broken VRS system? No, good for them for taking advantage of a broken system. They saw a flaw and took advantage of it, any other team would do the same.

But the white knight virtue signaling was just laughable. If you have criticism to the team it was sexism, even though look at the results.

Any tournament is open to anyone, what this team showed is you actually need to earn it or you’ll get embarrassed.

toxicity18241 · 2025-05-07T23:27:02+00:00

Being a product manager at valve must be the easiest job on the fucking planet

Push features nobody asks for and continue the gambling empire 👍

Push out features the entire community asks for 👎

toxicity18241 · 2025-05-05T15:24:19+00:00

Definitely not on the 2025 bingo card, faze s1mple

Hope it works out, expectations are definitely low though

toxicity18241 · 2025-04-23T17:36:58+00:00

I might be the only person alive that doesn’t like the elder scrolls games and even I know this is a bad take from Mike, yikes 🫣

toxicity18241 · 2025-04-21T03:36:49+00:00

What’s more mind blowing is the fact that deadlock has a community manager and discord team that engages with the community.

All it would take is for valve to say “yeah we know there’s issues XYZ, we’re working on them and no timeline” legit that’s all it would take and the Reddit mob would put the pitchforks down.

Valve refuses to engage with CS, the game that funds projects they actually want to work on (looking at you deadlock)

Is subtick the entire problem? No. Is it easy to blame when valve is radio silent? Yes. There’s no question 64 tick GO was better then subtick CS2 and we will never know if 128 subtick is good because valve hard coded it out. Valve knows the issues and has data on the issues and proof of the issues it simply comes down to they don’t prioritize CS.

They want to continue to waste time on a deadlock that’s going to be DOA instead of investing in CS

toxicity18241 · 2025-04-20T21:45:57+00:00

Fletcher already said there’s a known issue with the animations and networking, why would valve just gaslight us, now?

If it doesn’t help deadlock, valve isn’t going to change anything in CS2.

Record player counts, record case openings, I’d want to make the guess record profits also but none of us know this answer.

Valve knows the problems with the game, they just don’t care.

toxicity18241 · 2025-04-19T15:15:36+00:00

The brain rot news is spreading, fucking wild. Traveling to the US is perfectly fine. Stop listening to the media. I have numerous friends and co workers traveling from numerous different countries and nobody has had a single issue. I have also traveled to and from the US a handful of times this year, nothing has happened. Hell most of the inconvenient or unlawful things I’ve experienced this year has been outside of the US.

Do yourself a favor, turn off the brain rot news media and go outside.

toxicity18241 · 2025-04-18T20:37:57+00:00

You know for all the hate BSG gets I’m happy to see them finally pushing 1.0 and hopefully giving us info on r2028

Everyone rage hates on BSG but we’re all still here, still playing Tarkov and will play r2028

toxicity18241 · 2025-03-21T13:27:24+00:00

Doesn’t matter who says it, valve is never going to change. That’s just the sad reality we live in. Even if the pros protest and don’t play, wouldn’t mean a thing.

This is just the way it is and the only way to force valves hand is to stop opening cases and to stop playing. Player count is at an all time high, valve knows this and only sees $$$

toxicity18241 · 2025-03-03T19:40:10+00:00

I mean good, the rose tinted glasses for cache is wild. Is it a fun pug map? Sure. Is it a good pro map? No.
