Undo Buy Button

[DiogoSN]

Before a round begins there needs to be a button where you can undo your purchase, it can be a little annoying accidently buying an extra gun that you don't need to buy. I'd like to hear what you all think.

Just think before buying, that's all you need :)

Mavi ツ, you don't think when you buy guns, in happens on reflexes and misclicks are possible, Or you want to say you never have mistakes too?

I've done it and its annoying. Most of the time just clicking F1 because of a habit and i end up playing with mp7 instead of eco-ing.

Sometimes, because of the rush, you mistaken or your accidently click on the wrong weapon. Either way, it would be really helpful.

No, I don't have mistakes buying weapons since CS 1.5, If you are buying via numpad it's not really that hard to press the correct numbers. Especially in Competitive with 10 second buying time.

Again, sometimes your hands can shake a bit too much and you can get a silly mistake that can be easily undone. I'm not the only one.

I suggest the use of buyscripts (binding keyboard keys to buying specific guns, instead of using the buy menu). They make you faster and your likelihood of misclicking is well reduced. Check the "Guides" section for more information on that.

It would be awesome if Valve would patch that, but I will do check the guide.

Nah, no offense but if your dumb enough to misbuy (which I am sometimes aswell) you deserve to play a round with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon :P

I'm not dumb, I have a condition of which makes my hands shake too much and becaue of that, I can get these misbuys. You don't need to insult people.

Use the numpad?

[Mavi]

Then you should do something about it, for example binding the buy scripts is one of the options how you can prevent your issues, I don't see much people buying something they didn't want to buy in matches. And that's probably the reason why there isn't any "undo purchase" button since 1999.

[ANTIDOTE]

Totally not.

No. This is a terrible idea.

The idea behind purchasing weapons is economy. Accidentally buying the wrong gun can skew either your money, or your team's cost of equipment (chance of winning). This game is about making the right decisions and acting on them.

Since you made a mistake, this forces you to either use the weapon you weren't going to buy, or risk spending more money to use the weapon you did want. Which increases your need for a win to get that money back.

If you're making mistakes it's your fault, and that's the idea. Play smart, buy smart. Communication is key. We all accidentally buy the wrong gun once in a while, you have to adapt or run the risk.

Now, like others have suggested get some buy scripts and you'll have a better chance at always getting the right equipment, otherwise buy slower.. you have more than enough time to discuss your purchase with your team before clicking anything.

True, there is a complex economy on CS: GO, however, you plan your economy. You require certain weapons for your plan to work out. I can't make the right decision if I made a silly mistake of simply pressing the weapon above the list. True, it makes me play in a different way, but not the way that I planned and that could severly hurt my team's progress. Before the beginning of every round, I do think of what I should and should not buy.

Say the game is 14-14 and you need to be best equiped for an ultimate round of "Go high or go home". However you lost the round because you accidently pressed the weapon above and not the one below the freaking list.

You also talked about buying slower but sometimes we're in the mist of various conversations and we could immediatley regret the purchase.

I also already said in the thread, but not in the inital post, that I have shaky hands because of a health condition. The Undo Button isn't gamebreaking because I suggested that it would be only availible before the beginning of the round. You can still buy weapons during the 45 period of purchase, but you can't undo after the beginning of the round. It would be very handy.
