Most certainly.

Reduced Exposure to Cheaters: One of the main advantages of Prime status is a reduced likelihood of encountering cheaters in matchmaking. Since Prime status requires players to link their phone number to their CS:GO account, it adds an extra layer of verification, making it more difficult for cheaters to create multiple accounts. This helps ensure a more fair and enjoyable gameplay experience.

Matchmaking with Other Prime Players: Prime status allows players to participate in a separate matchmaking pool that consists exclusively of other Prime players. This generally results in higher quality matchmaking, as Prime players are typically more invested in the game and tend to exhibit better sportsmanship, communication, and overall game sense.

Access to Prime-Exclusive Items: Prime status unlocks exclusive cosmetic items, weapon cases, and drops that are only available to Prime players. These items can be valuable in the CS:GO trading market and provide an added incentive for players to upgrade their status.

Trust Factor Boost: Along with Prime status, players also receive a boost to their Trust Factor, which is a system implemented by Valve to evaluate a player's overall behavior and reliability. A higher Trust Factor increases the likelihood of being matched with other trustworthy and cooperative players, further enhancing the matchmaking experience.

More Accessible Communication Features: Prime status allows players to use in-game voice and text chat more freely. Non-Prime players have some communication restrictions, such as limited text chat and being unable to use voice chat in certain game modes. With Prime status, players can enjoy more effective communication with teammates, promoting better teamwork and coordination.

Enhanced Progression and Rewards: Prime status offers additional opportunities for progression and rewards. Players can earn Prime-exclusive weapon drops and receive bonus experience points, allowing for faster leveling and unlocking additional features and customization options for their CS:GO profile.

Another question, is the case & skin drop consistent? Does it always give a drop after every game or does it do whatever it wants?

[Orecoe]

drops in CS:GO are random. The drops you receive in the game, such as weapon skins or cases, are determined by a random chance mechanism. The drop system is designed to distribute items randomly to players during gameplay. This means that each player has an equal chance of receiving a drop, and the specific item you receive is determined purely by chance.

2 possible case drops per week and 1 skin/graffiti from leveling up every week, most of the time the skins you get are only worth a couple of cents so dont buy prime for that reason

If you want to continue to play and have a better experience by not running into cheaters then I highly recommend it

v cool

I would recommend it. up to 3 free cases and a level up reward every week will pay back the 15$ a lot faster than you think when cases are a dollar a piece these days, and the reduced amount of cheaters is a HUGE bonus.

No, not worth it. Still find trolls that will kick you for no reason or cheaters trying to hide it. Spend it somewhere else. I made my cousin spend this money buying prime, he regreats too.

If I knew, I'd have spent it buying other games.

That is literally every online game ever.

Prime isn't about getting rid of trolls/cheaters in their entirety; to think so and expect it from a mere 14,29€ upgrade is simply said stupid.
It's about reducing them, which it most certainly does.

And if you're out here, regretting your pruchase of 14,29€, while still playing the game (which you do), then you have some other problems to worry about and take care of.

Besides, this guy said it pretty well:

There is nothing to regret, after playing for a couple of weeks, seen as you easily make all the money back.

That being said, if you enjoy the gameplay of CS, buying Prime is the thing to do.

I'm convinced! I already bough Prime and I had a good time doing ranked competitive matches. Thanks for helping me out.
