Counter-Strike Global Offensive (CSGO)

Is it too late to get into this? It's my favourite game to watch, I watch every major but I've never really got into it playing wise. I'm pretty high ranked in TF2, OW and PUBG so my aim isn't too bad.

Definitely wouldn't say it's too late, as above you really need to be matched with half-decent (non-Russian) players for an enjoyable experience - I spend most of my playtime just chilling on pubs or surf/ kz servers which make a nice break from competitive MM.

Is 1360 eDPI a bit too high? (1600 * 0.85)

I was thinking of getting used to a lower one for this game. What does everyone use?

Mine is 560 - use 1.4/ 400 DPI - I've always been a very low sens player though.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as "too high" personally, it all comes down to what you are comfortable with really. Though generally speaking, it wouldn't hurt to try lowering it a bit, providing you've got enough mouse-pad space!
 
I didn't really want to start a new thread so I thought I'd post here.

It applies to anyone, but interested in what the faceit/ESEA players have to say.

I've been struggling coming from MM 64tick to faceit 128tick servers. Now I appreciate that better players may have ditched MM ages ago and I'm just trash :)

But I'm asking for advice as I've become a 31 year old man shouting at his computer screen and thumping his desk because he died...in a video game. I'm not that guy and I don't want to be that guy. xD

But a bit of background, I have been playing CS a long time, since beta 7.1 back in 1999. I've been Global rank since 2015 and I've maintained that all but a couple of times (losing rank after not being active).

My PC is fine: i5 @ 4ghz, 1070GTX, 165hz monitor. Internet is 200mb from virgin media

When I play it feels like everything is faster, the model movement, my deaths. It is as if my reaction time has tripled.

I cannot hold an angle, it's not like I'm even being prefire. I will be holding my usual cross hair distance off the wall, my opponent will run around the corner and will be past by cross hair before I can even react. But I go back to MM and my reactions are fine. I don't know if I'm missing frames but it is almost every corner.

My second "issue" is that after my 3rd bullet they seem to disappear. I am always doing 50-90 damage, Its not uncommon for me to have more assists than kills on faceit. I will get over 10 assists a lot of the time. Is the 128tick spray pattern different?

Third "issue" is I don't "feel" I've been hit, I can't tell I've been tagged after an engagement. I look down and my HP and realise it. Again, this is not the case on MM, I know I've been hit.

Still, I'm not sure what I expect from this post, just a little rant maybe. I'll keep grinding away on faceit (lvl 5). I will say ALL of my games when the server is base in the UK are great.

Maybe everything is in my head :)

TL;DR I fine 128tick servers a worst experience than 64tick - help

as tick increases reaction time becomes more and more of a factor as you are more in sync.

this is why in destiny (ps4) there are a lot of "trades". as in both players die. it's a game with a tick rate of just 6 iirc. as in you both killed each other before the server updated. had it been a 60 tick rate server there would have been one winner before the server updated with all the hits. and therefore less trades.


also iirc the peak age for a gamer is like 16-24. after 25 your reactions get worse every year. you won't be able to play at the same level as you you did when you were 17.
 
I can appreciate my reactions are probably slower than what they were but I've not turned into an old man over night. :D

I'm getting better, starting to top the frags a bit more now, though no where near my best.

Tried that human benchmark thing 233ms average

dpi literally means dick unless there is a lower cap on the sensitivity. If you are on 1600 and want it like 800, just halve your sensitivity.

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not talking about DPI, I'm talking about sensitivity. Effective DPI (mouse DPI * in-game sens) is just a way to quantify sensitivity so it's easy to compare it.

There is too high, it would be too high for the skill level of that player. High sensitivity requires greater skill and adjustment to achieve the accuracy, someone very fast could achieve that or approximate well enough but theres a point they would do better to relearn with lower sens and move the mouse more.
Swag apparently uses mouse accel but any normal player should go much lower not higher then they use on a desktop

Pro players settings are in the liquidpedia. I use 1.81 and 450dpi which I think is pretty low and I do need more space for my mouse, I actually want to get wireless I hate the weight of the lead and I hit my keyboard which should never happen. So really I need even more space to play properly or comfortably, most of the time its ok but not when theres no time to lift like Flusha

I got a Prof Chaos Foil sticker which is a major player who used to set it as high as 10,000 dpi :eek: I used to have similar setting because its more effort to go lower. I also had no mouse mat, the mouse pads had come off and I was used to a ball mouse for years as I played original CS (with upto 400ping and 30fps :o).
Prof Chaos I think uses an ancient hard mousepad about the size of his hand to play, yea he got to the major but its still probably true he should retrain his aim. I think Elige has retrained from a similar start, the best players can learn, lose bad habits

Isnt that effected by ping times. Fairly sure I'm really slow but also peekers advantage in this game makes this hard to judge and of course people using xray. I can usually tell when someone is reacting below 100ms which is impossible, ie. prefire 'luckiness'

proves my point. remember cs:go is a team game so you could carry a player to a win if the others are all playing well and very high skill also within the team. it's downhill from 25 onwards. this doesn't mean it's impossible to win after hitting 25 but 25 is the average age most start to deteriorate at a level it noticeably effects gameplay this age will be different for everyone though.

like i said before a high skiller who is aged 30 will still wipe the floor of a low skiller aged 17. gameskill is the most important factor. a monitor, mouse, keyboard, headset doesn't change gameskill. which is why it's funny when you see noobs spending thousands of pounds on mice, monitors and headsets thinking it will give them a massive boost in performance. it will give them an edge over similar skilled players but still nothing like what is needed to beat the top 1%

While some of it is true, then why has the pro gamers even commented with 144Hz displays and higher, they have the edge peeking around corners while it remains clear and quicker input versus a 60Hz display. There are Youtube videos on it. Just like a good pair of headphones, hearing someone creep about but that is only as good as the persons skill for audio cues. As well as being familiar with a specific games sound engine.

Still, the majority of gamers only play for fun. Or do they? “Get Rekt!”


I’d agree with you on the mouse/keyboard point. The majority of keyboards and mice are more or less the same. Preference in switches etc and gaming mice, the sensors are more or less the same bar comfort.

Crazy how you hear so many that own 12+ gaming mice within 6 months or so and they aren’t pro.
