My friends have complained about my basic button mapping for FPS games, but I've been using this since the '90's.

  • Invert Y-Axis
  • LMD: Primary fire/attack
  • MMB: Move forward
  • RMB: Move backward
  • Alt: Alt-Fire
  • A: Move left (strafe)
  • D: Move right (strafe)
  • LShift: Crouch
  • LAlt: Sprint
  • Space: Jump

If you’re in the bottom 10% of players there’s a 90% chance you are going to get your ass handed to you without mmr.

Casual means exactly that. “Casual”.

Play casually. You will get easy lobbies and difficult lobbies. An issue I see is that many players take casual too seriously. When they’re down they switch to their sweat set up or main. They stop going for fun plays and start playing like it’s the MLG world championships because someone else is casually beating them.

Let go. If you lose, good! You get an easier lobby. If you win, good! Someone who is better than you will beat you.

If you fight to win every casual match you’re going to eventually get to the point where it feels like sloppy comp.

It's kind of annoying for someone like me. It seems to not be able to find a place for me. I'll have a few games with lower level opponents and do well, then a game or two with markedly better people and get smoked. Rinse, repeat. I can never get consistent lobbies. Either I'm a good amount better or worse than average.

Maybe I'm just in a weird skill level range. I used to play shooters for hours on end in the Halo 2 and CoD4 days. Now I mainly play RPGs and single player stuff, but have retained some level of shooter skill. I'm also 31 now with a job and fiance and life.

So maybe I'm just better than your average gamer, but not nearly as good as streamers who do nothing but play so SBMM has a hard time placing me.

I just accept my fate if I've had a few 3+ K/D games in a row knowing that some team of kids who play 8 hours a day is coming for me.

Just use your own server? They cant/won't stop mods on private servers. Edgy stuff, even specific edgy stuff has been banned on public videogame servers since videogame mods began. Likewise, people have complained that their edgy stuff has been banned on a public server forever as well. "Moderators banned my sex/drugs/gore mod" is a tale as old as time.
