A brutal CS2<\/em> penalty has players up in arms after unfair punishments forced them into an early disadvantage. CS2 <\/em>players who\u2019ve lost a team member at the start of their match are still losing Elo despite not even playing a single round.<\/p>

Certain players are abandoning once the map has been decided, and everyone starts connecting to the server. This means the rest of the team is stuck in a four-vs-five, with either a long and difficult match or a quick surrender as their only options.<\/p>

If players choose to surrender, they\u2019re hit with an Elo reduction. The community rallied to demand Valve add a remake feature via a Sept. 18 Reddit post<\/a>\u2014something VALORANT<\/em> has had for years<\/a>.<\/p>

The issue stems from the introduction of CS2\u2019s<\/em> Premier <\/a>game mode, according to the community<\/a>. Both teams have a map-veto system that requires teammates to ban particular maps until they find a map they can agree upon.<\/p>

This is currently the only way to queue for official server matches. CS:GO<\/em>, on the other hand, had both the Premier and map-choice queue system, which allowed players to grind Dust 2 over and over again.<\/p>

In CS:GO<\/em>, however, players experienced a similar issue<\/a>. Teammates would leave once the match began but in the early stages of the match, leading to the same problem.<\/p>

It seems this problem remains in CS2\u2019s<\/em> beta.\u00a0<\/p>

CS2 <\/em>players called for harsh punishments for people who leave at the very start of the game. They suggested six-hour-long bans<\/a>, with the later leavers getting a reduction.\u00a0<\/p>

While this sounds severe, players think it might just get the message across<\/a>.<\/p>

CS2<\/em> is still in beta. Odds are, we\u2019ll see plenty of changes in the coming weeks, and with Valve taking some of VALORANT\u2019s<\/em> ideas on board already<\/a>, players might just get what they want.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

CS2 players who\u2019ve lost a team member at the start of their match are still losing Elo despite not even playing a single round. Certain players are abandoning once the map has been decided, and everyone starts connecting to the server. This means the rest of the team is stuck in a four-vs-five, with either a long and difficult match or a quick surrender as their only options. If players choose to surrender, they\u2019re hit with an Elo reduction. The community rallied to demand Valve add a remake feature via a Sept. 18 Reddit post\u2014something VALORANT has had for years. The issue stems from the introduction of CS2\u2019s Premier game mode, according to the community. Both teams have a map-veto system that requires teammates to ban particular maps until they find a map they can agree upon. This is currently the only way to queue for official server matches. CS:GO, on the other hand, had both the Premier and map-choice queue system, which allowed players to grind Dust 2 over and over again. In CS:GO, however, players experienced a similar issue. Teammates would leave once the match began but in the early stages of the match, leading to the same problem. Related Counter-Strike fan wastes 4 of the most expensive stickers ever in incredibly bad craft It seems this problem remains in CS2\u2019s beta.\u00a0 CS2 players called for harsh punishments for people who leave at the very start of the game. They suggested six-hour-long bans, with the later leavers getting a reduction.\u00a0 While this sounds severe, players think it might just get the message across. CS2 is still in beta. Odds are, we\u2019ll see plenty of changes in the coming weeks, and with Valve taking some of VALORANT\u2019s ideas on board already, players might just get what they want.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/T-player-standing-at-Ramp-on-Nuke-with-an-AK-47.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/967865"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2130"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=967865"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/967865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":967937,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/967865\/revisions\/967937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/967867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=967865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=967865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=967865"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=967865"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=967865"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=967865"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=967865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
