I have no idea how to win in this game. This morning I went 25-20, 4 time MVP, which is the best I’ve ever done in a competitive match. We lost 13-16, but that is still the closest I’ve gotten to winning a match. I’ve lost all five out of five matches so far, and the ten wins required for a ranking seem so far away. Any Oppos in the Steam group know a thing or two about playing (and winning) CS:GO?
Here’s a Ferrari Mondial 3.2 I saw earlier today at my town’s annual celebration of itself, in which the entire community comes together in a united, unashamed display of narcissism.

This is the most low-quality roof in history.

I think it’s a temporary cover to protect the real roof... I’d imagine so at least.

don’t solo queue, the chances of having a decent team is something like 30%

It would appear that there’s a real roof under there…but I don’t think any car deserves a cover this bad.

But most of my friends who play regularly are ranked in the Gold division, so I end up going against people who actually know what they are doing. I get rekt.

lower dpi, crouch, find better team lol. CS:GO is probably one of the most difficult shooters to excel in. I actually play better with a controller.

You’re supposed to lose, because the game is trying to figure out where to put you.
If you’re wanting to get better :
Play deathmatch.
If you’re brand new play casual to get an idea of what maps are like. Casual plays nothing like competitive, but it can still have it’s general uses. People play dumb in casual, so don’t try to play the way people do in casual in competitive.
Play deathmatch.
Learn/watch guides on stuff both basic and complex. Have to have your sensitivity properly set so you aren’t making aiming more difficult than it needs to be. Most people, even if they are/were good at CoD/BF/whatever have their sensitivity/DPI far higher than what would be recommended for CS:GO. Lower DPI as much as you can stand, ingame sensitivity lower than 4, and turn off mouse acceleration/use raw input (basically same thing unless you’ve changed sensitivity within Windows settings.).
Play deathmatch.
Watch professional players stream analytically if you want, can be a good source of knowledge on how to peak/not peak etc when you’re new.
Play deathmatch.
Communication is key. If you see an enemy, tell your team (and therefor, know call outs). If you see several enemies, tell your team how many you see. Do not say “all”, because people say all when they don’t actually see all 5 enemies, just say the number. If you don’t know the number and it’s 3 or less, say some. If you don’t know the number and it’s 3 or more, say a lot.
Play deathmatch. At the rank you’re going to be at, aim is literally 75% or more of the battle. It’s not until you get to the mid-upper gold nova ranks that you actually need to know to really use grenades effectively (though use them ineffectively anyway at lower ranks) or any real strategy, and even then it’s not that much of it.

For your first ten matches, it’s going to be bouncing you between decreasing extremes. You’ll start against noobs, then go against top tier, then less noobish players, then second tier, etc. until it figures out how good you are and puts you in a rank. So it’s rough until it places you.

Also, even casual CS is way more competitive than a lot of other shooters. It’s got a steep learning curve, and you’ve likely got players who’ve been playing since 1.6. Give yourself some time.
