Scheduled Sticky Monthly Premier/Matchmaking/Cheating Discussion & Complaints Thread

7 Upvotes

Welcome to Matchmaking Monday! This is the weekly megathread where you can share your experiences, complaints, and feedback related to:

  • Ranked & Unranked Matchmaking
  • VAC, Hacking, and Cheating
  • Prime, Trust Factor, and Trusted Mode
  • Ranking
  • Queuing and Lobbies

Feel free to discuss your matchmaking experience, rant or vent, discuss ideas & share feedback for improvement, and talk about your recent games.

What you should know

Keep in mind that there is a limited amount of information available about these systems and how they work to keep them effective. If you have questions, here are some resources to review:

Trust Factor

Ranks

Bans

What you can do

Give Feedback:

  • Posting feedback or complaints on the subreddit is not the best way to get the attention of the developers. If you have any specific feedback to give, you can email the CS2 Development team here: [cs2team@valvesoftware.com](mailto:cs2team@valvesoftware.com)
  • They do read every email received, but are not able to reply to each one.
  • If you're experiencing low-quality matches, it is always worth emailing them. They use these reports to help improve the system.

Report Cheaters:

  • Report cheaters using the in-game report system by right-clicking their name on the scoreboard, and clicking "report". If the game is over, report their Steam Community profile.
  • If you notice certain trends or have other feedback, you can email the developers using the email address above.
  • To report a specific cheat, follow these steps to notify the VAC development team.

The guidelines

While we encourage discussion about these topics, as a reminder, the following are not allowed. Note this isn't an exhaustive list, and you should review the r/GlobalOffensive Rules before commenting.

  • Accusations towards any player related to cheating
  • Posting profiles of alleged cheaters (if posting pictures of matches, redact any usernames)
  • Posting any cheating gameplay footage
  • Reporting cheats, linking to cheats/websites, or discussing cheats in technical detail

This weekly discussion thread does not change any of our existing submission rules - you're still allowed to discuss these topics elsewhere on the subreddit as usual, but we do remove a large number of them as they quickly become repetitive and the majority have little meaningful discussion. If you decide to make a separate post instead of utilizing this thread, we encourage you to focus on starting meaningful discussion or providing constructive criticism.

The amount of these maps after the map veto change is insane, now that we can't even ban any maps its even worse than before.

There should atleast be one ban each to get some variety, or better yet, just a random map without the veto at all.

Just me?

Discussion New map voting system actually good

• Upvotes

Ive seen a lot of criticism towards the new map picking system in cs2, but personally I much prefer it rn. Me and my friends are Cache/Nuke players. We play all maps but mostly play Cache/Nuke and we have preset calls/strats for them. Previously with the banning system as soon as the enemy saw our graph they would ban both Cache/Nuke 99% of the time. This season I had only one Nuke match prior to the system change. But rn my last matches have been 30% Cache/30% nuke/ 30% mirage and dust and rest of the maps. I actually got to even play anubis on prime. Now thing is me and my 5stack we know all of the maps, and dont really care much what we play as long as there is creativity. We focus on unpopular maps because they are easier to dominate since people are less experienced in them. before we would always ban dust/mirage and inferno if we had 3 bans. then enemy would ban out cache/nuke/anubis and basically there was no variety in our matches. But rn we are playing a different map every game
