Premier/Comp vs Faceit state

Hey guys. I'm a veteran cs player (been playing since cs 1.6 in 2007, recently had a huge break from csgo/cs2 (2017-2025). My peak rank on premiere is ~25k. I recently started playing Faceit and I'm currently on 26 games with 70% winrate and level 9.

is it just me, or is Faceit actually easier than normal mm, be it premier or comp? I won 4 games yesterday on Faceit with insane KDA and win participation per round.

after that I hopped on competitive dust 2 (gold nova 1, cuz I don't play comp). I thought I could chill a bit, but no? suddenly all enemy players with premier rating of 10k max and Faceit lvl3-4 (all of them) are hitting insane shots, it felt like I'm playing against an army of donks. everyone was really low lvl etc.

after that I hopped on 1 more competitive on mirage and it was literally the same - people with over 2k games in Faceit with lvl3-5 and premier of around 15k max were hitting insane shots, they were really aware and their game sense was insane.

is it just me - like is Faceit easier or is normal mm just filled with closet cheaters/ hidden gems? I'm so confused
