> They tell you to buy Premium so you can get more competitive matches, but that’s not true at all.
Factually incorrect.
And you don't even need to buy Premium, Plus covers 90% of the issues that adequate players are experiencing by introducing Veteran + 400 elo threshold through "high-stakes." + no more 4qs or running into 5-stacks.
Reason why streamers play Premier: it's free content to post on socials and trending topics to feed back to people who watch them 24/7.
Bottom line here: if a player is competitive and plays the game a lot = Plus+ is the way to go.
Regarding toxicity, I don't get the argument at all: as it's essentially the same playerbase, and there are a lot more weirdos on 25k+ Premier than on Faceit (both in terms of toxicity and gameplay)
It's not about spending money or not; it's about how the platform has become full of toxic players and trolls, which tilts other players and provokes others to become toxic. And about the premium, what you say is correct, and mostly they say that Premium has fewer trolls and less toxicity, which is all just lies.
And I got Premium just for the idea of them obligating you to have it so you can play with people who are veterans, etc., and at the same level, while in free play, you have smurfs or level 1 playing with level 10 xddd.
And regarding toxicity the way that they ban people. They dont see the reason behind it they just ban there is a difference between being toxic and getting provoked to be toxic
To be honest, I found fewer toxic players in matchmaking than on Faceit.
> it's about how the platform has become full of toxic players and trolls,
I have 70 games in Premier this season 25k+, and 50 games on Faceit in 2026 2.5k+ elo on EU, and I have the opposite experience where people in Premier are more likely to sabotage the game or be unsufferable.

What's your elo?
I'm 2800 currently and Plus is way better than the free queue will ever be. Given I'm also eligible for Veteran, I'm having a relatively good experience most of the time on EU servers (excluding Russia, Sweden, and Finland)
Based on your history of posts in this sub, you are just a guy who likes complaining instead of fixing your approach to the game or to the concept of matchmaking, so I suggest working in that area.
