Almost 60 days late, but good. Mentally, I feel like I've escaped the chaotic part of teenagerism, though I've felt like that before.

Just about to play CS:GO now actually. It's just with my little brother and bots though, not exactly like I'm up against fnatic. I wish my internet was fast enough to play with enough people for more advanced tactics to be viable.

Nice! Good to hear from you.

    I wish my internet was fast enough to play with enough people for more advanced tactics to be viable.

I feel that on an emotional level. Colgate's WiFi is shitty enough that I'm confined to playing offline with bots, alone. Although when I get the opportunity to play a couple games online, I tend to rank up quickly-- all my offline play means much better aim.

They should stick to dental care(I know where you mean :P)

Yeah, I assume ranked matches have you play against people with a similar skill level? If 4g comes here I will absolutely destroy a bunch of poor, unsuspecting newbs.

What's your setup when against bots? CSS's 'expert' bots were a lot more of a challenge than CS:GO's, often find myself on a team with members 1:2+ ratio with 'bot team'

Yeah, the ELO system matches you w people of a similar skill level, but it's very malleable in the first 10 competitive games so after a map or two you should be playing against people who can compete with you.

I mostly just DM w expert bots (and on aim maps when my connection is good enough to use workshop), trying to play competitive with them is shit.

Yeah, it's not the best.

I think the AI is actually really well done(Minus the way they act like an awkward school of fish when they're following you, and their trigger-happiness flashbanged), just there's no good way to communicate with the bots which is one of the most important elements.
