>>26475131I was LE pre-rank patch and MGE post.
>weapon sounds are lame, CS:S had better onesThat's your opinion.
>balance is laughableIncorrect. Besides pistols and SMGs being slightly overpowered for their low prices, it's balanced pretty well. The way you describe the process for balancing guns is incongruent with reality. Yeah, they nerfed the CZ and the R8 into the ground, but nobody wanted those game-breaking shite guns in the game to begin with, so why care that they're no longer viable?
>hitboxes are laggyFactually incorrect. They fixed the hitboxes months ago.
>servers suck64 tick isn't great, but it isn't nearly as bad as you're implying. But if you get that irritated by it, Faceit and ESEA exist.
>VAC is flawed, hackers everywhere!Not really. I play roughly one comp game a day, and I see maybe one hacker every 10-15 games. This isn't terribly alarming, since VAC usually bans the latest cheats in waves, and it's been several months since the last banwave, so at peak hacker level they're still more of a minor annoyance than a widespread problem. As for smurfs, the likelihood of them making up a full 4% of MGE players is very low. Why? Because post rank-update, MGE and above is roughly 18% of the entire playerbase, (
https://csgosquad.com/ranks, view stat compilation for last 30 days) with MGE being at most 5% of all players. What is more likely is that in public server pugs, the random nature of the team selection creates both teams that work very well together, and teams that don't fit together well and consequentially do shit.
>these issues are just the tip of the icebergSeeing as the issues that you've listed are clearly the ones you thought were the most major, and even they aren't terribly compelling, I find this claim extremely dubious.
Pic unrelated, but as long as I'm having a mildly off topic discussion I feel that I should at least post some bestpone.
