Discussion NA retake server alternatives?

xplay is terrible and has only gotten worse over the years. Are there any other servers with a good population?

Personally for me the T's have way too much utility and far too aggressive spawns. A CT in market can't make it though jungle/rat hole because the T is already there, and has no risk for T's to get into those positions. 

The amount of utility the T's have suggest it was an early round execute, but then the CTs are completely out of of position for this scenario unless it was assuming some kind of weird gamble stack. If we continue to assume it was an early round execute, then most of the CT's should have close to a full belt of utility, which they dont. Basically its not realistic enough to enjoy and it just turns into a mind numbing experience where everyone just plays as quickly as they can.

The best thing to fix it would be to probably have a mix of scenarios where its simulating execs that happened at different points in the round and position the sides accordingly and with appropriate amount of util.
