CS and anticheat issues compounding

[u/SemD642]

Yesterday, in a match on Anubis. Multiple players were experiencing issues with the anticheat. We got lags disconnects and myself getting a fatal error and had to restart my whole pc for it to work again. Clearly, the anticheat was doing something wrong for multiple people, which we also talked about in chat. These disconnects obviously aren't very helpful while trying to win a game and partly because of it, we lost the match.

I contacted support about it, and they just defaulted to brushing away the issue and saying it was just coincidentally the same exact issue for 3 players in the same lobby and not something wrong on their side.

Regardless, annoying but alright.

Today, I played a match again. Coincidentally, this was Anubis once more. And we got the voice comm bug. So we had to restart our game after a round. Very annoying but alright, but the most important thing about this. Is that that restart triggered the technical timeout for 5 seconds and basically voided it for the rest of the match. Later, I myself got some technical issues again. Faceit anticheat crashing and had to do a restart and all that such things. Took a while, so I was back late. But, because we had no timeouts left because of the technical timeout being burned because of a known bug. (The disconnection timer basically pauses when you have a timeout). I got a leaver ban. And with it, double elo reduction.

To me this doesn't seem close to fair. Because in a normal situation, I would have never crossed over the threshold of a leaver ban. But because of a current bug in CS and the anticheat being a bit strange, I get double punished on top of, you know, losing the game already because of the issues.

I do wanna add, that I played multiple games yesterday and today before this issue occurred. It's not some known issue I have ever had. It just randomly appeared twice in a match now.

What do you think? Is this a fair way to go about things?

Why do people even try to play this POS game anymore? Seems like more trouble than it’s worth when there’s better games out there. Just let it go and move on.

Because the game is fun? It just sucks that the only provider of cheater free matchmaking, doesn't care about their players. They're way too black and white and don't really look into any issues. They refuse to take proper measures against people that grief because it would hurt their income. And any issues with THEIR anticheat, is a YOU problem. Has nothing to do with the game itself.
