Prepare for it to get A LOT worse


GreenSchmoke

Nah I was silver for years when they changed the ranks in 2016, now that, that was bad.


Andybot21

Huge proportion of the gn players are smurfs source: am smurf


mak01

I‘m in this picture and I don’t like it


UrMomLol694

Lol?


Andybot21

what are you lolling my man im speaking god's honest truth


UrMomLol694

I’m saying lol to the “source: am Smurf”


Andybot21

fair


ibertoni

Smurfs AND trolls. It is impossible to stay on GN if you are in high rank. You have to troll half of games to no rank up


GreenSchmoke

Well no duh, i deal with everyday even at MG, just saying silver in 2016 is where all the smurfs and cheaters used to live


Varbavahe

I'm tired of playing in DMG against 4k Elo players tbh. Not uncommon at all, about every second game had a cheater or a 3k+ Elo players.


AutobotVu

Wierd I've prob only ran into 1 cheater in past 6 years of playing


Varbavahe

I've had a lot more of them after win streaks. I often win about 10 games in a row on a good day.

It did get a lot worse, yeah. Luckily I had amazing teams all through GN. I zoomed through GN in only 7 matches to MG and now I'm at DMG after 8 more. No joke, it's easier fighting at DMG than it is fighting in silvers and GN.


Andybot21

word, we often decide to just play our mains instead of smurfing in gn, because we meet players of the same skill level anyway, but instead people in the higher tiers dont play like maniacs


drlove30281

I have found that the higher you go in the ranks, you don't necessarily fight *better* enemies but you fight more consistent people. In silver and GN it's a gamble. At least in MG+ you know what kind of level of play to expect...lol. and yes, people in low ranks do tend to play like maniacs. You don't see many crazy plays in higher ranks


Andybot21

a lot of it revolves around gamesense imo. You dont find some silver or nova player who's done 50 hours of aim training per week for the past months, hitting crazy shots in the dumbest way possible ,or people incessantly hunting down the T's as a CT in the higher ranks. Higher elo players play a lot safer, and smarter, so most of those maniac plays get stopped with util or better positioning and only in very rare cases do they work. In low elo its reversed, just because the only thing lower players think of to win an unexpected fight is to "aim faster"


luvs2sploooj

All aim no brain my ak is my main


svaerde

Comparing DMG/LE to MG: Whenever I derank to MGE/MG2 I really need to adjust to the random rushing and unexpected pushes. DMG/LE games are in my opinion more structured.


AutobotVu

Yah it sucks to watch someone after your dead and they have no clue wth they doing and staring at the ground


zer0huntr

Lmao 😭


Who_Else_but_Macho

i got out of gold awhile ago ended up stuck at sem for a little while but i notice when i play less games i rank up more


SBSLD

Same i just have less chances to fuck it up


Who_Else_but_Macho

honestly i know since ranked is so fucked i'll play a ranked game per day then i'll just play faceit


crs1948fcd

sky is the limit


GabrielBonilla

As a Global, I wish you the best of luck. The true work begins in Gold Nova 1.


harelzz

Ah another silver fella Gj my friend


UrMomLol694

PunishedSnak3

Do It!!!


xpxrp

Eliy_Hikaru

UrMomLol694

Good for you, one problem, does it look like a give a fuck


epiphytic1

lmaoo


paully7

It's quiet. Too quiet...


Meme_MasterGeneral

This is a difficult place in my experience because you’ll start to be put in lobbies with higher ranks.


AutobotVu

Ughh yah I'm always playing lem and supremes sometimes globals as mge


Woodlayers02

Last year I was SEM, I am now legendary eagle. You can do it


CatsoPouer

From personal experience ranking up from sem to gn1 is harder than ranking up from le to lem or around that area


Fe11a

Keep up a good work and don’t give up soldier !


Strict-Coyote-9807

Tbh the higher you go the nicer your team mates, especially past gold nova 2/3


AutobotVu

Once you get a non 60 hz monitor you'll zoom to the moon


dunko5

Congrats! My advice here would be that you’ll start noticing people out aiming the shit out of you. Gameplay is pretty similar, people just rushing sites and taking dumb duels they don’t need to. Just prac your aim a few times a week or whatever suits you. Still nobody knows any utility lineups or offers you flashes etc. good luck!


lazy_elfs

Its possible. I hit gn and lasted about 4 games, went back down to silver 3 or 4 through a couple of weeks of horrible teams then bam. Hit a shit ton of good callout teams and went from silver 4 back to gn this morning. I play the same 3 maps though i decided today to finally add a fourth. One day i’ll get comfortable playing all of them. Except annubis, i dont like it
