Why am I so terrible at CSGO? [Getting Better, Thank You]

[Snowcow]

Okay. Lately I've been watching pro players, looking at guides on YouTube (Specifically WarOwl), changing mouse settings and changing crosshairs, practicing recoil patterns, deathmatch, etc. but literally nothing seems to work. My friends would be better off with a bot than playing with me at this point. I'm lacking so much gamesense to the point that I look like a failed lobotomy practice was done on me. I never want to communicate in comp matches because I have a high pitched voice and people just ♥♥♥♥ing make fun of me the whole game if I communicate. I miss the simplest shots, and I am just flatout losing hope at this point. Every comp match makes me want to play CSGO less and less. I never use nades or flashes or smokes or molotovs because I just fail or team flash with them. If I learn recoil patterns or flashes or smokes I just forget them the next match. I literally never have any confidence in my comp matches either. I'm almost always bottom fragging and I want to play CSGO less and less. Can someone give me any tips maybe to help me improve gamesense or overall in the game?

Paying someone for coaching is always too much. Those people most likely have absolutely no idea. Nadeking did a test and it was awkward as hell.

You better watch some streams from pimp, flom or nothing. They'll show you tricks all the time and it doesn't cost anything + they actually know what they're doing.

Lol nadeking was making content. Ofcuss hes not going to rent a good coach.
You can find plenty of semi pros ready to coach for 10-20$ in a hour. And the they will look at you pov to teach you more specific things you do wrong. You can even rent pimp as a coach

As someone who was a coach myself for many years and played professional for many years aswell I can tell you: People do this for free aswell. Like me. I never got paid for it. Nothing, flom, pimp & co. also don't get paid for it (actively).

There is no reason to pay someone for coaching. For example I coached most likely people I saw with talent. I coached them until they were good enough for my team or even good enough for other professional teams. Many other teams do the same. They've talent squads and scouts. I also coach some friends as long they want it and listen.

Everyone who's playing and doing his best has the chance to learn better player and you always can learn from better player. You'll always graduate more from that than from any paid coach. It's the natural circle of CS that better player coach newer player, those get better themselves and coach the new newer player aswell.

The first steps should be made by yourself. The first steps are basic mechanics and knowledge. Nobody is required for you to explain you how the money systems works - we've video guides out there explaning it better than any coach could. Game mechanics are something you can also learn in theory. Even warowls videos aren't that bad like "how to strafe" and "how to peek". But you as an invididual player has to learn all that stuff in practice aswell. That's also nothing anybody has to show you, especially not when you've to pay him for doing that.

So. The first things are watching videos and actively doing what you've learned ingame. That will already take multiple 100 hrs until you reach that point.

After that you're good enough to play on faceit, esea, can rank up higher in MM and even can look for teams for leagues and scrims on third party websites. And when you do all that you'll meet people who'll teach you as long you're open minded and take the advice sometimes with a grain of salt.

Imagine paying 5€ per demo to a guy for saying how much you suck in games.

Like why can't you do this yourself? You have all the PoV's and tools to look yourself

Bottom frags are useless , just try to play the objective and help your teammates , that’s what really matters to get many points in the game

Paying someone to teach you to play video games is the most pathetic thing in history. First of all the game doesn't have a fixed scenario settings where you can write a recipe for evey play possible and give to someone to repeat it until they get better. Second, not everyone are skilled enough to learn things in the same way, scale or speed that another person learned. People have different levels of cognitive, motor, and perceptual abilities. Some will always be able to do more things tha others. There is no way everybody can be too good.

So yeah, coaching in video games for me is the most pathetic thing that exist. I just laugh about it and how there are "professionals" in such a thing. Either it being CS coaching or in games like League of Legends, the concept is a complete joke HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's just another way for smart people to make money on top of the suckers.

$20 for an hour is too much.

So i should ask my friends and their friends to pay me because i teach them how to play other games.

In the net cafe (im poor) you have social interaction and can give you advices on what to do and even spectate you live and coach

100 pushups should do for a start.
Also eat a banana every morning.
I can't take your post serious either because to me
It don't look serious. But you say:

-You never want to communicate in comp matches- Well.. Maybe buy a new headset with a better mic because you have to communicate in comp matches - I don't care what you want. It's not always about you.

I have a perfectly working mic and i communicate most of the time now... what are you trying to say??

[Kilarpias Figglebottom]

Just download some training maps and practice on those. Don't bother learning spray patterns and just focus on learning how to aim for now

[Snowcow]

Also not playing with my friends seems to skyrocket my performance in how i play lol

Yesh that CAN happen when you get better mates and/or don't have to rely on them so much. :/
Still playing with friends makes fun aswell.

Where did I say you should get paid or pay others? I said you should NOT! And I talked about friends, teammates and people you meet and that it's normal to teach them and get taught FOR FREE aswell. That's the circle of skills.

The reason behind people getting paid is not because it's more effective or helpful, it's just pure egoism. They see that they can make profit with silly people actually thinking that they've to pay in order to learn something.

It could even get called scam because they advertise something you can get (even better) for free.

Btw. that's going offtopic so that was my last comment to that.

I helped out several community friends with entry-level teams back in 1.6. It was fun and I never asked for a dime - even learned some things myself along the way.

But individual coaching seems like a waste to me. Everyone plays a little bit different, and it's impossible to actually learn and correct mistakes jumping on with someone for the first time. So it ends up being an hour-long reashing of 10-minute videos from n0thing, longbarell, or v00. In fact, if you want to pay for something - n0thing's course is probably 100x better than hiring a coach.

Same thing happened to me, I was absolute ♥♥♥♥ for 2 years, then all the sudden I started to get better, just try and learn smokes, flashes, etc.

You should perhaps start practicing with bots or see habits that certain people have when playing.

[Ralph]

1- Play with legit friends that are higher rank than you are. Learn from them and see why they’re higher rank than you are. Then practice in the areas you are weak at.

2- Learn the different angles, camping spots, smokes, and call outs for your favorite maps. Play all the maps and figure out which you’re best at. Utilize YouTube tutorials and review Pro matches. Watch your own demos to see what you’re doing wrong and what the top fraggers are doing right.

3- Play for fun. Practice a lot and play with good, legit friends. In the end, rank doesn’t matter, it’s all about having fun and doing your best as a team player. Don’t be toxic. Use your mic to communicate and give call outs. Buy for those without money and ask for a weapon if someone has extra money.

4- Don't be afraid to entry frag and tell your team to follow. Going first in a strategical position might not SEEM good, and you might die, but if that position is taken, a lot of leverage on the bombsite is gained.

5- Learn the economy to buy better. People in lower ranks don't tend to eco/anti-eco. Knowing how good or bad your economy and theirs is, you can pick what you'll buy accordingly.

6- Learn from your mistakes: B was taken ? Rotated too early. Got flanked ? Playing too passive. Overwhelmed post-plant ? Not enough grenades were used. All of those are mistakes that you could learn from.

7- Practice aiming for the head on a variety of different weapons, practice flicking, spray patterns, strafing. I recommend you watch Bananagaming's videos for more help, mess with your in game settings and see what feels right, also your mouse and audio settings.

8- I can recommend solo queuing, it teaches you a lot. If you have bad teammates, aim to play better, if they are good, still aim to play better. Mindset is key, if you hop on csgo feeling frustrated, then you won't play at your best and and up rage quitting. Always aim for a positive mindset, in and out of csgo.

9- Communication is key, learn callouts, different positions and remember to call out where you have died or where bomb was dropped. Also to let your team know of other things which may have happened. If that isn't possible, use the chat.

10- Something else I can recommend it to play a lot of 1v1 maps, a ton of deathmatch and aim maps in general. Create a routine, say 50 headshots with the AK, 50 headshots with the M4A4 and so on.

From me, Deathdragon, and Cynaax.

You should watch these videos, way better than warowls videos:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN8-LHGdFMPT4h8rHEqXakA/videos

Also explain to use what settings you've.
DPI, sensitivitvy, resolution, graphics settings, how much fps, what ping etc.

You also only played 200 hrs. CS is a game where you'll learn everything new even after 20.000 hrs and 15 years of experience. CS is arguably the hardest game to learn with the highest skillcap. No one was good after 200 hrs, especially not when he has no experience from other games before. So don't think just because you train for some hrs you're a god. It will take at least 500 hrs until you understand the very basics. Another 250 hrs until you understand all the basics. Another 1000 hrs until you learned all relevant maps in detail. And gamesense will take infinite time to be honest. Even top tier pros sturggle with that because it's sky high skillcap.

Arma III is harder tbh
