be warned: a bit of a rant post:
CS2 might be the most unrewarding game to try and get good at in the entire genre. no matter how many hours you put in, no matter how consistently you practice or train, some people can just download a cheat (at this point any fucking cheat, even free ones) and just perform better than you, with barely any risk of getting caught or banned. and even if they get caught or banned, they lose a $5 account, which they can just buy another one the next minute and keep doing the exact same thing.
it is so demoralizing: warming up, practicing your aim, learning util and other stuff, just to queue into a cheater in the majority of games. that cheater doesn’t even let you express or show off the improvements you’ve made because they have software doing it for them with zero work.
as someone who’s played this game (CS:GO and CS2), i have never been as demotivated, and honestly heartbroken, as i have been since the release of CS2. it’s sad and honestly miserable. i used to look forward to playing the game i love, but now, every time i queue a game, i always wish that i hadn’t, and that i’d spent that time doing something else instead of suffering.
and there is no solution, since Valve doesn’t want to invest the time and effort to properly try and combat these issues. even Faceit and the lower tiers of professional CS2 are absolutely infested with cheating, and they do it for YEARS without ever risking getting caught.
i say all of this as someone who truly loves this game and wishes it was great, but i have no hope left for it, and i don’t see a brighter future for it either. we have Valve spending more time blocking community-made projects that were made with a true love and passion for the genre than actually actively updating and developing an anticheat or a cheater-prevention system that kind of works. there will always be cheaters who fall through the cracks, but EVERY SINGLE GAME shouldn’t have multiple cheaters either blatantly using hacks or closet cheating.
with my experience, and other players who have this kind of game sense and experience can agree, you can tell/feel when you die to a non-legit shot or play, because you’ve been in those situations THOUSANDS of times and you know how they usually play out when the opponent is legit. you fucking feel it because you’ve lived it.
even the bottom-fraggers on the teams are usually fucking cheating, they’re just that bad that, even with software assistance, they can’t get a positive K/D.
but yeah, sorry for the rant. i know this won’t mean anything to @counterstrike or @valvesoftware since they haven’t shown any signs of giving a fuck for years. CS2 will forever be the neglected child with a good job, bringing money to the family but not even receiving a hug back.

The real story here is that esports is a money sink cokehead investor-type play for ad rev and this was an excuse to get out of a deal that wasn’t making them any money. How many people knew Honda was sponsoring esports anyways?
