CS2 vs REVOLVER R8
Hi everyone, I'd like to ask you how do you think, if R8 may be repaired in summer update (Counter-Strike 2) and how about the skins, will it rise up in price?

What's your opinion? R8 is broken, unsuable, and probably 99% of CS players would agree Deagle i much more better than it.

You might have a point here, if the R8 revolver will be updated, more rare revolver skins should go up in price. I bought some stattrak FN revolvers, in case this happens. Because boy oh boy if this happens, all the richies are mine mhe hehe eh! :steamhappy:

The problem with the revolver is that you can't fix it. Either it will be OP or too weak. The entire idea of that gun is not possible to put into a good spot in a competitive environment. So it's left over as a so called "fun weapon".

Btw. same why the m249 and autosniper aren't made cheaper. Because then they would very likely too strong and it would end up beeing a weird meta. Way worse than we had woth sg and aug.

R8 > deagle
and wdym by "repaired" it is in a good state (just look at all my comments from using it), all it really need is a small buff in accuracy for fanning and obviously another drum.

I'd say It's soo OP, that it gets you "grief banned" All for containing the infernal cowboy within you.

Biggest downside of R8 is:
You play like peasant farmer who never held .357 - you get reported for griefing

You play like Dirty Harry and deal at least 1 HS kill per round - you get reported because "R8 is garbage and no man ever used it, espesially killed with it, it's impossible, absurd and nonsense"

I expected you beeing global with like 1.2 kd only using revolver after that post but you are gold nova 1 who just ranked up from silver with 1 kd thus your statement is far fetched. You'd do much better with deagle, shotguns or whatever only. And the only people who report you are probably your teammates for griefing.

Keep the damage as it is, make it much more accurate, cut the trigger pull delay in half or remove it all together.
I doubt you're serious about the competitive value of the R8.
It sounds like you only want the R8 to get buffed so the skins go up in value.

I was DMG in 2019 just by using R8 as budget AWP and UMP for close range (Being GO was never my goal to begin with)
But sure, keep jerking to that shiny legit rank system with no smurfs, no cheaters and no boosted blokes and ignore everything "casual veteran" say.
Can't use deagle regardless how many times i tried. I'd beat awp on mirage mid 6/10 times with R8 while i can't hit anything with deag.
I am nova 2 right now because i couldn't handle the state of this game and left it for over a year.
You claim you were dmg yet cry about smurfs, that doesn't make sense. Also a oke year break does not remove your skills. It only takes few hours of gameplay until you get used to it again. If you were that good before you'd be at least dmg again.

The fact that you say yourseof that you can't handle the deagle shows that you actually struggle with basic mechanics of the game and rely on non meta weapons who have no big issues when it comes to movement inaccuracy and crosshairplacement. Because the deagle is the weapon showing the best movement, aim and crosshairplacement. That is why Niko is one, if not the best deagle player. It requires the most crisp mechanical skills.

But even when you are not even to close as good as such a player the deagoe is still much better. If you were dlg (after 2017) you'd understand that. But you don't have that general knowledge.

Btw. I do breaks of multiple months very often but I'm still effortlessly in the highest ranks. Seems like the system isn't that broken and smurfs/cheater aren't that much of a problem.

Maybe at some point stop hitting the mental wall and get open minded. Accept your flaws in terms of attitude and gameplay and get better at that.

I don't cry about smurfs, just said about "legit" MM which you can truly "enjoy"
You don't even play the game, that doesn't make sense.
And even IF you do, MGE isn't as high as you think (assuming i found and checked your account "Ray")

I don't struggle with basic mechanics, nor with movement nor with placement.

Hitting mental wall? What flaws ? quit drugs alright and quit hogarth around

I have 8500 in GO and am LEM/Supreme with 1.4 kd.

Also I'm a former pro and coach and I just gave you tipps for free. But typically for many you also have cognitive dissonance and dunning kruger effect and take help as personal insults rather than thinking about it and getting better as a player.

And drugs? What are you talking about? I'm 30+ and never even drink normal alcohol and workout 5x per week so stop accusing nonsens just because you can't handle positive criticism.

Imo R8 is a pretty viable weapon, just suffers from its meme status. Great for wallbangs especially.

Deagle is better for close-mid range, revolver is better at mid-far range. Maybe the right click could be more accurate, but I think Valve needs to be careful with it to not make it overpowered again.
