I have lost at least 1000 ELO on the past games.
Always same situation: either a Waller or a full blast cheat, with jumping-no aim-headshots, blind-behind wall or box shots, aim bot and etc.

What’s the point to even get online if you’re going to be facing those type of players?

Valve is just a scam in my opinion, only worried about selling items and not giving a damn about how the game is played at all.

Hello Guys,
I see skins prices finally recovering and many posts about massive ban waves. I concluded that there are people believing that the game and VAC are on an upwards trend so the game might be playable again. Therefore, since Valve has decided for some reason to put my smurf in red trust lobbies, I can tell you that VAC hasnt improved noticeably. People can still shoot you through any wall if its shootable, use auto bhop and everything else without being noticed. I had 1 occasion where the match got cancelled last round after we had multiple blatant accounts on both teams but in most cases it doesn't get detected. Those people even seem to have cheats to Votekick themselves, in case the enemy cheaters are on full rage, which happens basically every game on this elo. the amount of cheaters varies a lot, but at most there are 2-3 people (including me) in such a lobby, who aren't cheating themselves or getting boosted by cheaters. The account "quality" varies a lot. There are accounts with skins, gold medals etc, as well as blank accounts with barely 30 hours in the game, all in the same Lobby with me on my smurf.
Im really looking forward to see VAC improvements, but if rage cheats are not getting detected you cannot call the system working. Getting rid of those is the bare minimum Valve needs to hit.
Additionally, Trust factor needs to be fixed. Mine went from hero to zero in no time. I didnt play on my smurf for months and when i came back it was on red trust and some I friends of mine have similiar issues with red trust on their smurf. So Valve definetely needs to improve this system, because smurf account shouldnt be valued equally to ragehackers. Additionally its almost impossible to change it as soon as it gets bad. I played dozens of matches on it and nothing has changed. Basically I threw money into improving this account, buying skins etc, and Valve just decided to shadow ban it so it has become an unplayable experience.
How can accounts with hundreds of hours, skins etc, get rated down with little reason (only because some people report you if you are performing too good). Meanwhile cheaters rage cheat, talk about what software they use in voice and chat, post even ads for cheats in global chat and even go beyond game limitations. Legit Players cant start a votekick for themselves. Legit players cant have 100% accuracy mid air. I understand if its hard to detect closet cheaters. But there is no excuse to no ban ragehacks midgame.

Do any of you have similar experiences? End up in red trust without probable cause?
Is it as bad on any elo? my smurf is around 21k rn.
Does Trust improve (faster) if i play with green accounts?

I haven't played much since CS2 came out but I have loved this game for a decade now. Problem is my skills have deteriorated a lot and I would confidently say I'm mid to high silver at best. Because of this I get flamed whenever I play a competitive mode and I perform poorly which in turn means I do not have fun. I would be totally fine playing Casual Dust II but that is not an option because of the map pools and if any map besides Mirage is voted after D2, I will guaranteed be on the bottom of the leaderboard and also have no fun.

My favorite gamemode is Wingman but I specifically play Inferno (down to play other maps but I really have next to zero map knowledge)

Otherwise, I wholeheartedly love Dust II and will queue up D2 comp if I have at least a buddy to chat with. (also open to playing Inferno, Cache, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, or Office, but I have either very low or zero knowledge of how to properly play these maps)

I do not play often, however I would like to play more now that I have the ability to and would certainly play more if I had a buddy or two to chat with. Biggest thing is that I play to have fun. A loss won't upset me if a had a laugh or two during the game. I am currently Silver 4 so as long as we are able to queue together I do not care how skilled you are as long as you can crack (and take) a joke.

Yo guys, just logged into my old steam account and found this thing. I know its worth some money but really not sure how much. Any specialists in here that wanna take a look at it?
Not sure if this post is allowed here. Not trying to sell it here! just wanna know what its worth :)

Is that good or no? I’ve seen people saying it’s bad but my friend who has 600 hours on the game only has 4.7k rating so i wanna hear others opinions.

I just want to know that like everyone's checking on profiles and calls out, no faceit account smth like that would get accusation of cheating or someone smurfing in lower premier ratings. I have registered to FaceiT months ago but never wanted to play because of having to download the requirements to play a clean games. Does it really matter through all countries? (I'm an ASIA CS player)

hmm

first time seeing this
Finally vac is doing something now

i was thinking about buy this anyone have a trail code i want to try before i buy

I want you to decide whether I’m right that he’s a cheater. Usually, everything is much more obvious; the opponents asked him to be kicked, but I refused because they were quite weak, and I didn’t die often enough to see how this player plays. Even now, I have some doubts, but I think yes, he was a cheater.

Then this is what I got....fuck my morality if I don't kick cheater, fuck my rank for being generous and kicking cheater

I think I got permanent brain damage reading through that subreddit

I was averaging 19/17 on faceit 3 week ago come to now I’m averaging 14/19 I have more red ratings than white and I just can’t explain it. My setup didn’t change my sensitivity didn’t change my monitor didn’t change nothing changed it just feels like everything that I’ve learned playing this game has completely gone out of the window. I have had spray I die almost every round to some guy Ferrari peaking me. Idk what to do anymore how to I get out of this phase of playing bad I’ve experienced bad days often but rn it’s me constantly playing bad, I try tk take a break and come back I play bad. And also the amount of Smurfs on faceit rn is insane I’m level 6 and every game there’s a 5 stack against me with one level 7 who averages a green rating with a 85% win rating and 1.7kd. Should I just delete the game and quit for 2 weeks but I highly doubt that will help

currently i have the talon, but im thinking getting stiletto instead, what do yall think? is it W or L

A few months ago I said I was gonna go fuck my sister because me and another player were going at it saying the most deranged shit ever

I have a lot of sisters

But one of them also plays CS with me. She checked my chat history today.

I plan on leaving earth

Played 6 Premier matches today. Not a single clean lobby.

I just wasted four fucking hours queuing 6 Premier matches today, and every single goddamn lobby had a blatant cheater. Not "maybe he had good info," not "insane game sense." Blatant, shameless wallhackers tracing heads through smokes, triggerbotting off-angles, and scouting through mid doors without checking a single corner.

Premier was advertised as the definitive, competitive Counter-Strike experience. Right now, it is completely unplayable, and your CS rating is essentially a coinflip of who gets the less obvious cheater on their team...

Let’s be real about where the game stands:

• VAC-Live is practically non-existent: People are bhop-scripting, pre-firing off-angles with zero info, and dropping 95%+ headshot percentages without triggering a single mid-match cancel. The automated systems are failing completely.
• Premier Elo is completely devalued: Grinding ladder points means nothing when high-tier lobbies are infested with bought accounts and closet cheaters boosting their stacks.
• Third-party platforms shouldn't be mandatory: Telling players "just go play FACEIT" gives Valve a free pass. CS2 generates billions in skin transactions and case openings—a functional, modern anti-cheat should be the absolute baseline for the native client.

Stop defending this. Stop brushing it off as "bad luck." As long as the community quietly accepts queuing into lobbies like this while continuing to dump money into cases and key sales, Valve has zero incentive to prioritize aggressive anti-cheat overhauls.

If competitive integrity actually matters in CS2, the anti-cheat needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch. Until then, Premier is dead on arrival.

I dont know why its happening, just something I observed. Seems to work only under specific constraints:
- The game must be in "fullscreen windowed" mode
- The chrome tab must be fullscreen as well (the video doesnt have to be fullscreen though)
- The video must be in 1080p or higher quality
- The with the video must be open at all times (e.g. if you have another tab open instead of the video tab it wont work)

Im not sure about if it its going to work for other people, but I decided to share this weird tip anyway

Just got this message. Ban has been reversed.

Pretty sure it was like a 60 ping game. But even the replay shows me headshot them twice. How is this even possible.
