A New (female) Player's Questions

[Mrk]

Hey Guys,
I'm new to CS2, just switched here from Valo and I have a few questions:
Is it hard to get a good rank? What rank does the average casual player have?
What is a good value inventory? Can you recommend any anime/cartoon styled skins?
Do I need to spend hours on training or do you get better by just playing the game?
And last but not least: Are there any female players in CS? I have already played about 10 hours and the only mates I got where male. I got to the point where I'm afraid to talk to my mates as they will usually start shouting at me.
Thanks🤭

if u spend more time in CS, you'll find a bunch of females to be honest. Yes, they're rare. But they exist

The speed of your "rank" achievements are dependant on the player

I personally don't have prime cuz I'm broke so yuh

Skins are obviously not needed, but you can still buy them (most of them are cheaper than the Val skins)

Hey! Female CS player here and I can agree.. talking in this game is scary, but you should find a group to run with.. it makes the game so much better. I personally don't talk to even some of the females on CS because they can be pretty mean themselves especially to other females.. but playing the game is the best way to learn and you should check out the Prisma 2 case and Revolution case. There are a lot of cute skins in this game!

Good luck bestie

Good ranks are hard, yes.
I can't say the average rank, because its a new CS. Lets says 6-8k is average. But thats my opinion.
I dont care about skins, so idk.
No real anime skins, got a few girl skins if thats what you need. a CT and a T skin. T skin is mucular girl with red bandana, forgot her name. and FBI agent for CT.

Unlike valorant where ive heard some stats say its 40% females. Wich sounds real balanced.
I'd dare say atm csgo's girl players have always been maybe 5% if i am being generous. Probably less. Getting some more now maybe due to female skins and being more colorful.

EDIT: Yes outside of premier mode elo numbers, gold nova is your average player in the other ranked feature.

Idk if it has to do with my rank, maybe its diff in lower ranks. But i maybe meet a girl once every 200 games.

right now the ranks can be a mess because they just reset

exist

It's a popular mainstream game. Just expect to run into mostly toxic people if you're going to play online, like all popular competitive multiplayer games. You can look up all the skins available online, they have images and all that.

Most of the players are ranked as gold nova. You can google it to get the players' rank distribution.

The first thing you must know about CS is the game mechanism. Unlike some other shooting games, CS has a very simple UI and is easy to learn. There are not a bunch of options BUT the complication is faced when it comes to the speed of your reactions. The faster you react, the more you are successful. Your aiming skills (especially for snipers) and your skill in controlling guns' recoil should get improved either in some official game modes like deathmatch mode or in workshops with your friends. Then you need to get familiar with the game strategies (distracting, smoking tactics, ...). Sometimes players with lower shooting skills win because of their IQ anticipating their opponents' next move. Moreover, listening to sounds is critical due to the high-value information (position, reloading, ...) they convey.

There are girls and they are not in too small numbers either, you will make enough friends if you play.

About the skins you mentioned, you need to know that most nice skins are expensive usually. So if you want my opinion, I think that's better to play a bit more and then go through skins.

"good" inventory 500-20000. "good" knife plays a big price tag in that number. at least 50%.
just an ak + m4 will just be 50$.
in combination with some 1-5$ skins thats perfectly fine.
the term "good" is just very picky for cs ppl. xd

Hello an old player (Male), It's changeable to your skill levels and all depends that you can make a basic research for these questions on Google, good luck in game!

[PatchAdams]

A very unintuitive mechanic in this game is counterstrafing, also called ADAD from what you do with your keyboard.

I don't have a lot of experience with CS2 yet, but in GO you had to counterstrafe a lot to hit things accurately, and do basically the same manoeuvre more slowly to peek corners. It's not obvious when you first start.

The CS playerbase is probably more toxic generally than Valorant's, not just to women but across the board. I definitely recommend making friends who are chill and who communicate well to play in a 5-stack, because solo queuing will always get you a lower rank, and you will find more toxic teammates among randos.

I keep my inventory costs low so I am not the best person to answer that. Go with your tastes and do not treat skins as an investment, but buy what you really like

There were a few women in the death match. I guess most of them play the main game too. Although there are many profiles with a maiden name and picture of a woman, of those I think the lot of theses players are men.

Skins, I have no idea. I do not care. But there are a few cool ones with a graffiti look (far from anime, I know).
