Still the best when it's about competetive gaming.

Iam playing cs:go for 2k hours now and always playing random match-making with 4 strangers. It's not as bad as some people would have you believe and people are not as rude as everyone thinks (and these ppl exist in every online game ... it's not only cs:go).

Just be friendly yourself and don't act like an idiot. Stop commanding others around. Stop thinking you are the best just because you are top-fragger of the moment (most of the time the other guys are 1 rank below or above your own ... so they now how to play ... everyone can have a bad day ... doesn't mean you have to teach them how to play CS:GO). Give info and try to communicate. It's so easy.
And if someone's still acting like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ... don't argue ... just instantly mute him. In 95% of the time this is an instant fix for everything.

Back to the game.
In my opinion it's still the best comp game on the market with the most amount of skill needed and the lowest coincidence-rate. The maps are small - but not to small. They allow diffrent tactics but don't overtax you with to many options. The guns are balanced and nearly every gun has it's right to exist.

And - what's most important:
The small amount of maps (which also are alrdy existing for years) and the low complexity of the game makes it perfect for competitive gaming (when it comes to pure skill). In CS:Go there's the lowest amount of coincidence/luck which makes it perfect to compete against others and really find out who's the best.

Means:
Nearly everyone knows most of the positions/timings on the maps. You will know where you'll be seen by an enemy. It will rarely happen that you will be killed from behind (maybe at the end of a round). The nades are not the strongest ... so you normaly wont be killed by a player randomly throwing them around. The guns have a nice recoil/spray (which you can learn ... so it's skill again). A player with skill/aim will, most of the time, kill a player who's just spraying.

So give it a try and always remember beeing a nice guy even if there are some toxic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around and you'll have a lot of fun with it.
