We all love Counter-Strike 2, and it is the best team-based shooter in the history of esports, but there’s always room for improvement, especially given its current state. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog will suggest three features that are missing in the current matchmaking system. And yes, we’re talking about matchmaking, so we won’t mention fun modes, 128-tick servers, or a perfect anti-cheat system. We’ll focus on some different aspects.
Get the most out of Counter-Strike with awesome skins, and CS.MONEY will help you build your perfect inventory at low prices!
Rating Adjustment After Playing with Cheaters
Valve is working on its anti-cheat system, and it seems that the situation has been improving recently. However, players still don’t fully understand how cheaters impact their ratings. In Rainbow Six Siege, there’s a feature where players who play ranked matches with cheaters have their ratings adjusted. The changes can either be positive or negative. The important thing is that players know how many cheaters were in their match and how it affected their rating.
Refunding Purchases and Requesting Drops
Let’s turn to another CS2 competitor, Valorant. We love joking about Valorant and pointing out the developers’ mistakes, but there is one feature worth bringing to CS2. In Valorant, you can cancel your purchase during freeze time and also request a drop with a single click.
Imagine this situation: there’s not enough money for a full buy, and the team is trying to decide: force buy or eco. How often have four players agreed on an eco, but one particularly fast teammate forced the buy? Canceling the purchase before the round starts would be a nice addition. Additionally, requesting a drop with a single click would be also convenient.
1v1 Matches
We’ve mentioned that we won’t discuss fun modes (like surf or kz) here. However, 1v1 matchmaking is a different story. This could be an exciting feature, especially if it had its own rating system. It’s the perfect place for players to test their mechanical skills. Currently, you can play 1v1 on maps from the workshop, and we have a list of interesting maps ready for you.
Valve is actively working on Counter-Strike 2. While we’d love to see updates more frequently, the important thing is that the developers are moving in the right direction. Maybe, someday, we’ll see these features directly in the game.
