Current State of Trust Factor Matchmaking in CS2 and Premier Matchmaking (Red Trust on a Legit Player)

[santonica]

Hi everyone hope y’all are having a fantastic day 🥰. I have recently gotten banned on Faceit for smurfing to play with my lower level friends so i decided hey why not try the new Premier mode on CS2, clean elo system just like chess.com .

Trust me it’s fun when you know how to play the game but… it’s kind of odd. after winning my 10th game i got an elo of 11,000 which is don’t get me wrong quite bad for a faceit 6 😭 anyway after my 10 games and up i realised i wa whetting constant enemy elos of averaging 4-6k a game. There was only one time where i’ve encountered a 17k player (we lost -.- i’m rusty). Said my gamesense was to bring me up somewhere near 15k elo he complemented me yes. Well now like the title said there’s Premier Matchmaking problem (in my opinion. go against me if u like i respect ur opinions :))) ). anyway the problem with this constant repeater i’ve encounter with lower elo player or should i use the profanities ‘trash players’ there lies a common problem: reporting/hackusation/no brain of the game, in a sense i find it dumb as Counter Strike has been out for 11 years and I still find it daunting that people who have 1000 hours on the game, 5 hours past 2 weeks, and some being BOOSTED with 13 hours in the game, can just report my teammates and me..? This went on for like every match i played to the point i started playing competitive (the one where u can be gold on mirage and silver on inferno). Oh no it didn’t stop at premier it creeped up all the way into my comp matches. It. Was. HORRENDOUS. Yes i know you may something like “but u and the enemy has no rank so it’s fine to encounter them”. nice reasoning but… your mothe- then try explaining how i have 5 digits in premier (13,101 rating rn) and i’m meeting people who’s not even half my elo 👌👌👌 i’ll give u a cookie if u do. Anyway the reports came in and the blah blah blah you get it i wasn’t safe from the curse of Trust Factors. Soon enough, i got red trust. how do i know?

Friend: hey uh dude it says your party member has a substantially lower trust factor than you. Finding matches with lower trust factor
(i forgot the actual chat message but that’s a system message you’ll see if u try starting a match with someone who has yellow/red)

And finally i realised what happened. Oh and by the way have i mentioned that i got banned for 1 day for ‘greifing’? yeah apparently mollying apartments in mirage and a second later ur teammate runs through it the whole team reports u. that’s pretty dope 👌 Ok this sounds more like a rant now. It is (half of it don’t scold me in forum comments) anywayssss the moral of this post is to warn y’all that ‘idiots’ like this will appear in ur games. And i know i’m not the only ones with this problem. Trust factor matchmaking is yes a GREAT idea. But the system is not ready yet (i guess it is buuuuut who’s gonna buy that?)

Did you actually see this in CS2? That it told you the trust was low and it was either red or yellow in color

yes(according to friends queuing with me who had a warning of my trust factor and the low amount of people who showed up on my looking to play tab.
