And I thought CS:GO had long comp bans for leaving

To be fair, that says "up to" so I would assume you have to leave a handicapped amount of games for the entire season ban

[Nymph]

I can't even mercy right because all I'm good at is pistol headshots and that's probably because the hitbox is bullstuff

IRRC TF2 also has similar headshot hitboxes tho

No don't get me wrong, I love that the punishments are so brutal for people who leave on purpose

oh yeah i have so much time on sniper. the hitboxes are bullstuff but it's good to take advantage of it vs medics and scouts

i feel that playing games with anyone over lvl 30 makes it a lot more fun since everyone works together and normally don't get steamrolled, while most teams under lvl 25ish in my experience don't work together and generally fail to win.

today ive been getting only losses
what the hell
also ive been put in with teams of levels 1-28 against teams of level 40+ what the forget blizzard

level does not equal skill for forgets sakes

Players will often mistakenly look at player level and accuse the matchmaker of making unfair matches. One thing that I have mentioned before is that we were evaluating your skill during closed beta, open beta and the second stress test weekend. If you played in any of these (over 10 million players did), we had already determined a skill rating for you (most likely). This means that it’s not uncommon to see a level 1 matchmade against much higher level players. In most of these cases, the Level 1 is a skilled player who played during the phases I mentioned but did not immediately play at launch.

level does not equal skill for forgets sakes

i know, but once people get to level 30 they have 20 or so hours and know how to work in a team
don't get me wrong, some low level players are good, but it just seems that higher level people are better due to how long they have played

And it's possible that they have the same amount of hours as you, but just played in the beta and not immediately at launch as Kaplan said. MMR is a mysterious thing
