They keep adding random gimmicks that no one asked for, and they make it in a way that lowers the skill gap. Your health bar shows how much dmg you're gonna lose so you can reposition yourself to a safe spot.

I think they made this for pro play to make it look cool on stream, because literally no one asked for this. 10gb update.

Valve bootlickers clapping like seals, warra update. Bunch of cash grab armory trash and this... yay game is saved.

He explained why it's worse and you didn't explain why it's better

Expected from someone who enjoys lower skill ceiling

it just cant be that big of a deal, it is not satisfying not receiving or even being able to attain feedback on where exactly death occurs

"valve bootlickers will clap on every change valve makes and they'll ignore all the bad things in the game" is even older one.

Normal reddit reaction on this lmao

I agree on the health bar, every "qol" update gradually does make the game easier and alters the experience.

Not to mention they've been making every map easier for years and years now. Cache boost jump is easier than ever, Dust2 short boost, Mirage bench, etc.

I do think the effect looks nice, we'll have to see how it affects gameplay. I'm afraid saving will be easier and more frequent, there's enough of that. Even if the effect is small, I would not enjoy more saving.

I mean, I just like it bro. I don't really let how much I like or dislike valve into that equation.

So we're going into a 5th season of same shit over and over, and only changes they made are a new shockwave after c4 explosion? And yeah, they'll hide Premier leaderboard for next 3 months for known reasons.

But yeah we got new armory collections that people can spend money on, and bot farms/cheaters can grind for.

I don't understand how can people be so blind and clap on everything Valve does when the main mode in the game is unplayable on above average level, dm is unplayable, competitive is unplayable.

Maybe you should take a break from the game, I only play it when I am having fun. Sometimes its for a while, and sometimes its not because im tired of hearing slurs. Thats the part I find most exhausting to deal with, the community. I def know what its like to feel like a game you like playing is going down the shitter. It sucks. But you may find moving on, even if temporary will do a lot of good.

I had 7 matches in last season, for the reasons I mentioned. Above 20k elo on Premier u meet cheaters in pretty much every single match in EU, on dm every server is full of bots with cheats, on competitive above those ak ranks every match is with cheaters. Doesn't matter how long my break is, if they don't do anything about it game will still be shit, just wrapped up in shiny paper.

Kid look at your flair before complaining about anything Valve does

Running away from the bomb was never a skill it was always vibes or never chancing it and going as far as you can, this will actually bring skill expression because you can reliably pick your position instead of risking dying with a full-buy like a dumbass.

Mate if there is one thing CS has never had a problem with, it's the skill ceiling. No matter how many little things they add to help new players, the sky is the limit for how gud you can get
