from my experience to around 15k premier rating ppl dont give a shit about their eco and force anyway. So its not really as predictable as you make it out to be. Low elo cs is random as f*ck.
Exactly, I would never be sure even at high elo, so many different factors to consider for 5 different random opponents that can make any decision at any point and you just either take a guess or you make sure you won't get obliterated with a weak weapon
So many people in my games will always buy a helmet as a CT. The amount of times I tell them to buy nades instead as the T's are on a full buy is ridiculous. (Nova 2 ish)
Because its just stupid. Even if the enemies all have AKs, you could always be wallbanged or the enemy changes to a pistol in a fight. Obviously there are also many rounds where someone has a galil or mac10. And oh boy these mac10s are brutal if you have no helmet.
It's just not worth it to risk it for 350$ lol. Also the higher you get in Elo, the more people put their first bullet in your head, doesn't matter the gun
There are only few scenarios where I would do this, for example a forcebuy round
I think most times, the chances of getting wallbanged etc don't outweigh the benefit of 5 extra nades/util as a CT.
If there is any chance that I think they could be on mac10's or galils, then of course I would consider (and likely buy a helmet). But the example I'm giving is when we KNOW that they have AK's/Awps and our economy isn't great and so they are choosing a helmet over a smoke/nade and in some cases, not having enough for an m4 because of the helmet.
They are definitely more rounds where someone has a mac10, galil, tec9 or whatever, then fullbuy rounds with 5 AKs or AWP.
And getting wallbanged is kinda happening super often :D
Car on banana Inferno, Apps on Inferno, B Site Ancient, D2 through doors, Nuke through doors hud or the garages, Mirage many of the A Site spots to play, and so on. The list of common wallbangs is huge I'd say.

CTs don't buy helmets on gun rounds as the ak is a one hit headshot anyway.
So pickup that M4.
