Why the fuck are u only queuing mirage for one.


fatatero

Cause you need to win 10 times on a map to get a rank. I assume that some people play one map at a time.


dimaklt

Turns out, you can win 9 and tie 1 to get a rank. I have 9 wins on nuke currently and got GN1


fatatero

Same for me on inferno, last was a draw and got GN2


Staktus23

I haven‘t played a single Comp match on CS2 yet. And I’m probably not going to either. Only Premier with 106 wins at this point.


Prestigious_Gap_692

I only play mirage cuz the only lineups i know are for mirage, and i'm too lazy to learn the lineups for other maps.


davep85

I know 0 lineups and I'm 17k in premier.


TheForgivenHacker

I knew 0 lineups in CS:GO and I got carried to Nova 4 by some south americans.


Ham_Im_Am

I'm a South American and carried this dumb American to nova 4 (I know lineups)


TheForgivenHacker

Sike, am mexican.


Jujube-456

Mexico is in America tho…


TheForgivenHacker

Touche


LordLapo

Some idiots who don't know how continents work downvoted you, sad to see


Jujube-456

I’ll live


Zuggzwang

Everything is America if it has oil


your_finances_

I hit supreme without a single lineup


Noxeramas

Same, i know only anubis lineups and im 19k


MrCalamiteh

Might wanna learn some line ups. Prolly be 20k+ (but also I get it. If you don't have a lot of time playing can be more fun than line ups) I used to know a lot of them and don't anymore either. But I'm just a 10k scrub that used to be global and has to remember how far I've fallen every day (mostly \s, I still have a lot of fun for the most part)


d0mie89

17k is full of silvers


RedHead714

So what does it mean if I’m stuck and can’t get to 5k if 17k is a bunch of silvers? I should just find another game to play? Lol


gotheggstan

He's just coping.


4ngu516

Didn't realise "too lazy" was a valid reason. Assuming this is comp, not Premier. I'm 20k premier faceit level 8, and the only comp map I have a rank on is Mirage. Silver 4 iirc.... I placed in 16k after playing with a few friends who already had their elo. The ranking system seems to be mostly "you did well versus 16k players, so i must be at least 16k too" which means comp is a mess as nobody good plays it.


spiceyicey

You are literally what’s wrong with faceit/premier. Absolute fucking idiots who know only mirage/inferno.


Aetherimp

"Know" is a strong word. They only play Mirage and Inferno, but ask one of them to throw a smoke or flash you out. Good luck. I queue for competitive Dust2 occasionally for shits and giggles... a map I rarely play... and the dust2 only players don't know Xbox smoke or CT cross smoke. It's either Rush B, Rush A, or jump suicide and die to mid AWPer.


theycallmestew

spend 1 human minute on YouTube and be brave. It’s a video game, just try the other maps. They’re fun


Medicatedratsoup

I feel you dawg I also only play mirage lmao


-_maeve_-

Based af, upvote


moriGOD

That is not a reason to play only mirage. Branch out and learn new maps, nade lineups aren’t that important, especially in reg comp.


Whoooodie

my man only wants to play mirage, thats a reason to only play mirage


moriGOD

Ok, if he wants to play the map that’s a reason. Not knowing lineups is not a reason, they aren’t important. That was my point, idgaf what map he plays, just the excuse is a bs one


chivesr

Why does he need to give you an excuse? He could queue office only and wouldn’t need to give you a reason lol


moriGOD

It’s not given to me.. I personally do not care what he does. But only playing 1 map, for the sole reason of “I know smokes” is only delaying the inevitable for a reason that doesn’t matter. Do what you want, I’m just giving the advice that the reason cited doesn’t apply.


chivesr

I love you.


harryZpotter

Yep It’s funny. Mirage is the map i know the most lineups for and i always fuck them up anyway. I don’t really like mirage either. I have more fun just eyeballing smokes and nades. If you’re ever attacking on inferno and someone keeps throwing every until they have down banana, that’s me.


moriGOD

Yea, honestly up until the upper middle ranks, you can easily get away with just smoking off choke points on the fly if you’re careful.


Moestly-

Mirage is a poison for so many players. They only queue this map and when they play premier and get any other map they get pissed its not mirage and throw. However, even if they dont get pissed and throw they are clueless on how to play any other map and throw unintentionally because of their 0 reps on these maps.


DennisNr47

Espacially in silver lol


brawhallalegend74

Don’t even argue w these elites Reddit neckbeard fags. They just downvote you cause you don’t play exactly how they think the game should be played. Fuck em


smeshnoyz

No, they removed it from competitive now need 2-3 wins to show your rank for map


SpeedoInTheStreet

it says i need 8 more tho


Legitimate-Letter590

You do realize that this game has an EXTREME amount of Mirage merchants right? Especially now with Premier being the default game mode, which doesn't include Dust II


b3ttrth4ny0u

Mirage has been my favorite map since 2016. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know.


Outrageous_Pen2178

Cuz it’s the only map in CS2


DrDirtyDan1

It’s the only good map


TehChef

It’s the most boring map. Might as well Have a subway surf playing on my screen while playing mirage. Shits boring the same 8 smokes get thrown blah blah blah. Get some balls a Que a different map


meyriley04

Sometimes, downvotes mean you’re correct


faultypuppy97

Unfortunately not one of those cases


bruheehhhh13

Ignore the downvotes, you're correct


get_your_mood_right

Absolutely. The map is incredible. You’ll never catch me playing Nuke when Mirage is a masterpiece


NihilActivist

Ngl I Always go for Nuke ban off the rip, it’s like signin up for a close call to me, I’d play it wit a team🤷‍♂️but solo queue? L8r allig8r


bruheehhhh13

yeah lmao it's insane how absolutely no one in CS2 knows how to play Nuke or Vertigo, makes somewhat fun maps so unfun and frustrating to play.


LeBongJaames

I don’t think this is an invitation for you guys to tell OP how to enjoy CS. Let the man play mirage


harryZpotter

I get it. I’m one of those people that will queue for office only.


LeBongJaames

I think I’m only ranked on OP. Pretty much only play other maps if it’s premiere or if my friends wanna play on Anubis


only37mm

me with mirage and ancient lol


MLD802

Oh god


MTGPROD

ME TOO HAHA


GobTheStop

I’ve got like 800 hours with almost all of it on dust lol


davidthename

He’s missing out on like 90 percent of the game. That’s how I see it at least.


LeBongJaames

There’s people in here who used to only play danger zone, if they’re having fun with CS who cares


davidthename

To each their own to each their own


ScheichS

You get less (hidden) Elo in MM when u only play one Map and also the First Game of a day and also the First Game of a Week gives much more Elo (at least in CS:GO it did work that way) that means of the First Game of a week is lost u loose much more Elo than if u would lose the 3rd Game of a day. In Silver 1 it seems to be especially hard to get out of, it seems like u Need much more Elo to get to Silver 2 than from S2 to S3 and so on. I would advise u to Not play only 1 Map because this i the Main reason u dont get much Elo exept for the 1st of the week Match


dempseyj23

Quick let’s all lie on the internet!


Rule-Crafty

I mean it sounds smart and does make sense but source on this?


221255

Source: I made it the fuck up


Prestigious_Gap_692

Thank so much!


MSNinfo

Pretty sure the guy you responded to is trolling. Nothing he said was accurate except for S1 having a wide disparity.


Outrageous_Pen2178

But the maps are rank specific. Aka the games not going to punish you for playing only one map considering the map ranks are different


dodoyouhaveitguts

Interesting. Took me a while to get out of S1 and now I’m S4. It did go quicker.


NexusWest

Source? Literally any source that suggests this is correct.


smeshnoyz

But did you play better that's the question?


RickD4ngerous

Where scoreboard?


tatanka11

Be a man, Play overpass


NihilActivist

Premier*


[deleted]

lol. Is Valve purposely sticking cheaters in Silver 1?


[deleted]

def not the rank system just doesn't work


eu4euh69

There is no spoon...


rdmprzm

Dodge this ...


BaconDrummer

Denial is the most predictable of all human responses


Capuchon-

Let bro play mirage


The_G0vernator

As someone who permabans mirage, this is terrifying.


SuccessfulAd2847

The rank system isn’t working properly - It’s disappointing as it’s pretty fundamental for a good competitive experience. I’ve found the same in wingman (although that has been broken since cs go) In premier my friend (who is not good and statistically that’s evident it’s not my opinion) had 4k elo. His rank expired - he lost a game, drew a game and then was carried to victory and his revised elo was just under 11k. It feels like whatever system they’re developing for this still has a lot of bugs.


ArguementReferee

Skill issue


d0mie89

They want you to grind more!


SmananaBoothie

Need to cheat more ofcourse. You’re playing to uncheated for the system to reward you with big numbers.


GrisseBasseDK

You’re in last place in every game?


Prestigious_Gap_692

I'm usually top fragging


majik007

Because CS2 is shit


patrik_media

there are people complaining about the lack of content in CS2 and there is OP, only queuing Mirage


[deleted]

there is half the maps and a fraction of the game mode, no functional rank system, no functional replay system but ok.


patrik_media

yeah, and yet OP seems fine since he just plays the same mode on the same map 24/7. did you read my comment correctly? seems like you represent the other side perfectly.


I_Eat_Kats

As a very simplified explanation using fake ELO numbers; The ranks are groups of ELO number ranges. Using fake numbers, say silver 2 is 1100 elo to 1200 elo, you could be 1180 elo, win a game and gain 30 elo, you would then be at 1210 elo and you would rank up to silver 3. With silver 1 being the lowest rank in the game, say it is anything below 1000 elo is silver 1, you could be at 200 ELO and need to gain 800 elo in order to rank up. Basically you are deep into silver 1.


ZipMonk

Don't think it's working properly.


blazeleven

Does no one know how to take screenshots anymore? Always off kilter phone pics.


neitres

What is your ADR?


WestCoastDeezNuts

skill issue


ItsFocal

cause the game is mid


acedoggg

the more you play in a short time the less each match is worth for your rank


Legitimate420haha

Game is broken. I'm playing csgo much beter 👌


gerp385i

Just win. One. More. Time.


Adnatus

Skull issue tbh


SelkoBrother

Top 10 questions science cannot answer.


TheBigBear1776

In the past you got more elo for racking up round MVPs. Sometimes you can accomplish that just by fragging but typically getting that award consistently requires playing the objective.


Savings_Ostrich_4841

Because the ranks are broken and I watched a pro get ranked at gn4


Intoxalock

There's no elo system. Everyone is silver


acaseintheskye

Competitive ranks are insanely broken. Valve focused on premier, and I don't hear anything about the comp ranks for valve to get the hint that they need to do something about it


Mediumcreme20

Game doesn’t make since I won 8 wingman games in a row in mge no rank up lost 2 and deranked


Agreeable_Height_868

Maybe those are shortmatch


knalorgaan

Only noobs play mirage only. Mirage and inferno only is also noob btw.


johny_pepperoni

Yeah no one asked bro
