Play Hours by Rank

Is there any generally accepted "average" for how many hours players of a given rank have? I've seen a lot of Nova 3 and 4 teams with about 100 hours per player, which I say is impossible with a single account. (I'm including CS:Source and 1.6 as well, since I've seen some good players with a lot of time in Source/1.6). Then I've played a few teams where the players all have 2-3 thousand hours of CS play time and they're all ranked low to mid silver.

Is it REALLY that common to have a smurf acount? Over the last few weeks it's been almost nothing except these types of players, and it's VERY uncommon to see a player with a few hundred or more, and the ones who do have vast amounts of time usually play ridiculously well but are ranked like noobs.

That said, the ranking system seems to be behaving a little better, since I haven't downranked off of all of the repeated losses where I top frag but am stuck with crappy teams... I remember a time when two games with unranked players got me downranked to silver even though I 30-bombed both games... :/

100 hours in nova isn't far fetched, neither is 1000 hours in silver. Ranks are skillbased, not playtime based.

True, but you don't play 2k hours in Source and then 1.5k in GO and have a Silver 2 rank. There was a whole team like that.

unless all those css hours are from things like gungame, scoutknives, jailbreak.

modes where you learn a little about aiming, but nothing about the actual competitive map layouts or strats.

Exactly.

I'd say you don't learn anything, just like that I had 500 hours of casual play (AWP, knives, kz, gungame, minigame, 10v10) until I tried competitive, and making first steps in comp all my fundamentals were terrible, I had to learn everything from zero.

These guys played like experts though. They were a cohesive team, got near perfect headshots, and had practiced strats. At Silver 2? Not a chance.

That seems reasonable. But last time I saw a 1.5k hour player they were Nova 1, and I just played a game a few hours ago with a Nova 4 with 30 hours.

In any event, I just deranked again in a game with a blatant cheater. After we reported him he turned off the cheats and he sucked completely, but he had run up the score so high that they had already won. Just waiting for the reversal and rerank now.
