Valve Trust factor system is horrible
Valve's Trust factor system is hillariously broken my first game after a while was clean
i won that game 13-1
then i lost 3 matches horribly with atleast 3 cheaters on enemy team
1:13 , 3:13 loss etc yea that bad somehow in each of these i dealt decent amount of damage
then i got lucky i got a cheater on my team won those 2 matches now i played 3 matches today
minimum 4 cheaters per game all accounts are new no badges nothing and the elo range is 1-5k.
im getting 5 stacks Q's with multiple cheaters after i win the game, like wtf do you even want me to do like throw games?
You win a game and if your account is reported, no matter how many matches you play for a short while your MM matches are fucked. amazing system made by valve like seriously wtf is this bullshit.
i still need to win 3 more matches i've had matches from 1-5k,10-19k rating and i lost my matches in the 1-5k range 5 man stacks with cheaters i wonder which elo range im going to end up in.
Amazing company 3 years and all they did is sit on their asses.
like fucking check how many cheaters are running around on UAE servers from iran, KSA, india and pakistan just for the sake of boosting elo.
I had little hope that maybe the lower elo may atleast not have rage cheaters but i was wrong.
This system is horrendous, it is pay 2 win for green trust and even that doesnt guarantee this garbage system needs to fucking GO ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
