Skins give an unfair advantage (read)

[Sand]

Some people believe that skins are completely cosmetic and that they do nothing. However, they are much more than that, skins provide an unfair advantage in the game and can take away your competitive edge. They provide an unfair advantage by making players who use them appear more skilled than players who do not use skins. This is often a deciding factor in games and tournaments.

Don't get me wrong, if cheap skins provided the same advantages it wouldn't even be that bad. However this is not the case. Infact the contrary is true, as I once played a game where I accidentally dropped my AK-47 Safari Mesh on the map Dust 2, and I could no longer find it because it blended in so well with the ground, which caused me to get killed. This means that people with expensive skins get an advantage, while people with cheap or no skins get a significant disadvantage, making the game unbalanced and having an effect on your performance.

People who play with more expensive skins will always get an unfair advantage over people with cheap skins. The problem became so serious that even pro teams began exploiting this, if you look at the tournaments you will notice that the winners always have expensive skins, which means they are cheating. Why would pro teams want to be the best if the easiest thing to do is to buy an advantage, like buying skins to win. You are essentially just as skilled, but you have twice the chance of winning due to owning skins, as much as if you cheat. What is more is that the pro teams can easily buy all these advantages for a small amount of money. This is unfair to the players who do not use a lot of money to buy weapons and skins. They don't have this kind of advantage in the game and they don't play against people who do.

This is why the SKINS should be removed from the game.

If we are going to use that logic in csgo that would be a huge problem, so you want valve to remove feelings complete from the game? You cant play this game when you are happy, or if you make a good flick you cant feel good for that bc that will need to a unfair advantages, The only thing this should be appleyed its have the options to remove the agents those are the only thing that make this game unfair.

These comments simply prove my point since they prove that a lot of people do not understand the issues with skins. The fact that they do not understand something simply means that they don't care enough to understand it.

People want to play the game and watch it on a level playing field, without any advantage to the players. People want fair games. People want fair competition. People want the best players and the best teams to win.

It is a fact that people with skins have an advantage over those without skins, and this is an undisputable fact which no one can refute. For this reason, the SKINS should be removed from the game.

If they still want to have skins they can always play on community servers. Community servers are usually populated by more casual players, and these people do not care as much about the competitive scene, as they simply want to play the game for personal enjoyment, while the competitive scene is somewhat more refined and sophisticated like myself. So like I said, people who want skins should just be moved to unofficial servers.

However as I said, skins have no place in a competitive game and should be removed, and this will probably take a lot of time and work, however it is the right thing to do. There are many other problems in the game as well and if these skins are removed then people might not care about many of the other problems. Which means that removing skins could pretty much negate all other problems that the game has and it would make the game better for everyone.

Secondly, I am a competitive player and I love the game. So I would rather see it improve than get worse. I am not being negative. This is purely for the benefit of the game and I have no ill intentions at all.

Best shietpost.

You're posting a massive rant because you mistakenly pressed G and it got you killed in a round, lmao.

Yes they do. I'll give a good example. So when your enemy peeks but he has an AWP Dragon Lore you will immediately get distracted by his skin because it's so expensive. In a matter of seconds you rethink your life goals and expectations making you not able to aquire that skin. Because of this the enemy has severe mental leverage over the other player and therefore will be likely to respond slower and die more easily. It's not the first time i pointed out this problem. Valve doesn't seem to care because all they want to do is make money, can you blame them?
