Has CS2 Become Too T-Sided?

[@pettergustafsson5007]

They should buff the Famas, the gun is useless. Would be an easy and convenient fix to cts economy problems. Ts can win rounds will Galil against m4, but a Famas wont ever kill Aks at the current state of cs

[@bo0m_cs]

i agree, even after the plant adjustment i still think Galils are way too strong in 2nd rounds

[@trevorthabest161]

I think they should just reduce the cost to same as galil

[@Topunito]

Might be one of, if not THE worst feeling gun to use in the game. $450 more expensive than the galil and yet like 5 times worse.

[@Sphericaldorito]

maybe just nerfing mp9 will make famas more viable

[@lawv622]

famas is just a little worse than galil, I think they should reduce price to at least 2000

[@danielstello90]

Mechanics seem to be a strong t-side contributor. Peakers advantage and running accuracy.

[@izimonics2]

there should be a larger inaccuracy for moving glocks. thats literally it. i dont know why valve went so hard on mr13 but not accomadating it properly in any way

[@BicheCS]

The CT incendiary should have his area back. The duration Nerf is a nice idea. But the area is too much and brings inconsistency in gameplay when grabbing mollies from the other team

[@josephbo7399]

I think just restoring the economy will fix it, even. Valorant uses 1900/2400/2900/3400 loss bonuses and solved MR12, CS just needs to remove $1400 so double ecos arent common

[@Pluto1v5]

honestly mr12 is just bad imo like in the sense of gameplay it makes a ton of sense in the way that society is shaping up, games NEED to be faster, but i genuinely miss mr15 cs, i think it would be a lot better in cs2 :P Like i've never felt there are *too* many rounds when playing csgo, but ive felt there are too few rounds when playing cs2, especially during the first half of every game.

[@facelesscsgo4134]

In CS2, CT players who are struggling should not feel like they are getting worse, but rather consider changing their play style. The traditional method of holding angles as a CT is no longer as effective. Now, CTs need to be more proactive and peek before T players can peek them. Strafing is crucial, and peeking as a T player has become easier than ever. As a T, I feel invisible, while as a CT, I feel vulnerable until I started to take a more active approach. I ask for flashes around corners and try to time my peeks based on sounds. Being creative and proactive is necessary, rather than just holding angles. This shift is also why AWPing has become more challenging in CS2, as peeker's advantage is significant.

great video dude. love the production

[@daahoodOG]

Great video, bro. Shout out from Brasil. Just a tip: try changing the font over the black screen. Idk if its just me, but the one you used was a little annoying to read. Keep it up

[@CoolDrifty]

i get where you're coming from but in an avg pug its still a flip of the coin. they say anubis is the most T-sided map but that really only applies to very high level CS where the teamplay and util is on point, especially with post-plants. CT economy is god awful though.

[@bo0m_cs]

i agree, i don’t think all of this stuff is one size fits all as far as the game is concerned. i’m most interested in the pro scene - i thought abt trying to include matchmaking data for this video but it was a lot harder to reliably collect

[@kujshow]

Nahh you can do good on ct side but the chances of getting overruned from the T side is so much higher. There are so many games where the team starting T side will win the game and if the other team would start T they would have won.

[@n3bu1a]

Great stuff again! I think due to the nature of the game with peekers advantage being so powerful, CT’s do need a little something. Not sure what it is though.

[@bo0m_cs]

thanks! for sure, there's a lot of angles for balancing

[@HomelessCows]

It's important to note that while high level matches are important to analyze in balancing decisions, the vast majority of players do not play anywhere near the mechanical and technical level professional players do, and it's equally important to balance a video game around that incredibly large data group as well. Obviously compiling matchmaking data without Valve's help will probably be a near impossible task, but you could try looking at low level face-it to maybe get a better idea how things play out? In general face-it is still going to be people far more dedicated to learning mechanics and technique than 0-9999 matchmaking, but it's still a data group that isn't at the level of professional play. Not that I think any of this data won't hold up in matchmaking or face-it, I honestly have no idea. But I figure maps probably lean different ways when you have teams who aren't as confident in throwing util and coordinating plays. Inferno is probably a map I would argue is fairly balanced for most of the general player base, since it only really becomes T-sided when T's use their util efficiently. Vertigo ironically I think is probably even more CT sided the less util is used though. If T's don't know smokes and molotov's on that map, they're gonna have a really tough time even with peeker's advantage. But I do honestly quite like Vertigo, and I think the changes they made make it a fairly balanced experience that is slightly CT sided for sure, but a more competent team can still easily pull a win on T side.

[@split1594]

cache has got to comeback, imo the most fun map on csgo

[@cheahyeah7134]

Id bet it’ll be back in the next 6 months. just a hunch though

[@coob3300]

i fuckig love green pillow!!!!

[@bo0m_cs]

me too man

[@dekzzx]

the glock is really powerful now but so is the mp9

[@aegiltech]

Maps all have variances in their sidedness, but its pretty obvious the two big contributors to CT win rate right now is the incendiary nerf and a lack of mid tier rifles (i.e. FAMAS is junk). Its why we are seeing more and more teams running MP9's. FoveSeven's and Scouts in CT force buys. But more realistically, the incendiary nerf should be reversed and just leave it at $500 and go from there. (Side note, I do think CT's are also struggling against T Pistol Rounds with the improvement to movement accuracy and USP's poor spamability. But this is probably a team issue where Pro's should be considering the P2000).

[@alexkim789]

v nice video, subbed

[@mrotss]

great stats

[@crixi__]

cache needs to come back ASAP

[@michuXYZ]

Finally decreasing the cost of incendiary just to nerf it is a son of a b... move from Valve. They really hate CT side.

[@DaHorizonFTW]

I strongly believe the core mechanics of CS2 just aren't what they need to be, otherwise the game is good. I seriously hope Valve is cooking.

[@neimenovani7256]

Bro what music is this in 3:00 section? Like I thought there was an alert in the city

[@dangers]

Had a stroke trying to read the title of the video

[@HandsomeMadMax]

I think that might be a "you" problem.

[@DaHorizonFTW]

I actually love Vertigo. I can understand why people dislike it, B site is awful. Inferno is also really good. I absolutely hate playing Dust 2, it's overplayed.

[@00zero557A]

W video

[@kaleka588]

i HATE anubis, i just dont like it, i would remove it and add cache/cobblestone instead (not train bcs i never liked it)

[@Igor_Zdrowowicz]

This is petty, but watching CS footage in less than 60 fps is kinda annoying.

[@Payday5]

Not really, nuke is still ct sided i believe

[@DarkysLPs]

The problem with CS2 is that it sucks

[@Katt1n]

Lost me at cobblestone. Dogshit map for competitive play. Only worked way back when because it was before the utility meta. Train is better but there are much more interesting maps. Also, why is dust 2 still in the pool?

[@valiceman8015]

No, it has become too cheater-sided.

[@cheahyeah7134]

play faceit

[@mrotss]

cache > cobblestone

[@inqizzo]

For competetive play yes, but think of all the casual players, its the casual community favourite
