I don't want to improve at Counter Strike (and why you shouldn't either)
I don't want to improve at counter strike. I'm currently sitting at silver 2. Don't even have a premier rating. Let me tell you why I'm having more fun than you:
I get to play my favourite map every match. If you don't play premier you can choose the map pool. You're chasing a number and you're playing Mirage every other match because of it. You can just play the maps you like.
I get to run around with an MP7 and play the game in a unique and fun way whilst still being able to have high team impact. I like playing with off meta weapons and trying weird strategies, my favourite is dropping rifles entirely and instead using the MP7 and snipers, including auto snipers, on both sides.
I view losses differently. A win is a win, awesome, right into the next match. But a loss isn't a loss, it's a free pass to easier opponents. I don't care how good I am at counter strike. The unless I'm Donk, the guy I'm aiming the gun at will be roughly as good as me.
At the end of the day, me and a faceit level 10 player will probably have a very similar match when we both press play. We'll both attack and defend, kill, get killed and then win or lose. I just get to do it on my favourite map, with my favourite weapon, every single time.
Life is short guys. Have fun.
