Cheating epidemic in official matchmaking regardless of prime status, matchmaking matches wildly different ranks forcing higher ranked players to play with vastly different skill levels for essentially no rank progress upon win and a large mmr loss if you lose. $15 Operation passes with garbage content and weapon/operator skins to funnel more money into Valve's pockets while the horrible server quality remains the same. If not for the original design of this game and its community, this game would rot. Valve deserve none of your time or energy, but Counter-Strike does.

cs2 edit: removed many functions from CSGO for a barebones fake release open-beta type beat. Game isn't ready at all but here we are D:

cs2 edit 2 (4 months later): anticheat is non-existant, matchmaking servers and processes are still bad matching you against 5 stacks who are much high average than any teammate while giving you 100 for win and -400 for a loss. Still no overwatch, casual game modes, achievements, economy adjustments. There is almost no reason to play anything aside from FACEIT. Valve have failed.
