legit the last three games i've lost the top frag on the enemy team has always had some insane statline and a private tracker profile
i always thought the smurf complaints were overblown but this is kinda nuts
i just feel so powerless, i've been playing for like barely an year and im in my peak rank of gold and im surrounded by people with champs 2021 vandals and diamond buddies
please help

Just don't let people play comp without phone number on their account at this point
just dont let people play comp
make it so the only way to get anywhere vct wise is through premier
delete the concept of ranked entirely and let the masses play unrated
playing premier made me hate ranked with a passion
ranked is so fucking boring, 2 duelists locked 1 chamber 1 clove most of the time then its run it down and watching people overheat and throw away advantages
need to take more initiative around the map against mechanical freaks. fast flank if noise across the map, fighting mid sometimes, etc.
especially in gold, a lot of people's instincts on defence will be to turtle into sites (2-1-2 or something), and all that does is doom half the team to die before the retake
you can always play unrated instead and treat it like comp. in my experience, players in unrated are a lot more vocal/responsive than people were in gold

legit never had someone put it into words before but this is pretty accurate
i think the secret might be the canezerra attitude of 'im better than you so im running it down'
i hate playing good fundamentally but i miss because they caught me on a random ass timing
i think i need to start taking the random ass timings
NO
people like canezerra are also very intentional about where/when they run it down - if they weren't, they would be the same bum shitters that your favorite streamers complain about after games
just take like five seconds every pre-round to guess what the enemies are doing.
I think the number 1 thing that'll help in Gold is recognizing, when you're on defence, whether the enemies tend to alternate sites (A B A B A)
and then whether there's a guy who tends to poke around mid, and setting up one huge fight against him to discourage his lurks for the rest of the half
on attack, just keep track of where people tend to play, and think about where you would play if you were them, based on what happened in the last round
ill use split as an example
Attack pistol - always go A. who tf goes A on defence pistol? do you? and how easy is it to get stuck behind a smoke in B main, especially with only pistols?
slam A again round 2 if it worked out pistol
defence pistol - prove that you can hold B main, and that they can't just run out off one flash or a right-side sage wall. maybe walk down mid instantly to flank B, since who tf goes mid on attack pistol? do you?
so stuff like that. think what you'd tend to do if you were them, and decide what to do based on that. it got me to ascendant with peepee poopoo mechanics last year
someone told me something practical instead of just saying "stop playing the game"? it must be my birthday but that's in 9 days
Ur headshot % increases by 10 when u use 2021 champs vandal sadly I don't have it
