^^ that was a really good anti-eco. I wonder what would have happened if fnatic had bought some MP9s.

Well, that is what the pros get for thinking they can use pistols against smgs, and attacking one at a time at that. They are gonna have to learn not to be so conservative in their buying now.

I know you were linking that to show how overpowered smgs are now, with a 5man mp7 buy. But that was exactly what you said they should be used for. Anti-eco weapons. Show me a 5man mp7 buy vs rifles

Ughh! I haven't played the update yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate the AWP changes.

Yes, you are the type of person who scopes and then moves around. I think you will hate the awp update personally.

yes, same here i like to play agressive awping but it is a challenge to adapt to this new change. i think i will be able to do it but what i have found to be a pain is if you miss your first shot it is a bitch to repeek and try again. its almost like if you initially miss, you have to fall back to a new angle

I played the update a bit yesterday.

For the new awp speed I am somewhat happy and somewhat not. I like it because I seldom use the awp and it makes it harder to turn corners scoped in. I don't like it because when I used the awp, I was aggressive with it. And another flaw is it makes maps even more ct sided

For the SMGs, I like where they are at now. I can already tell they are being used more but they are not OP for their price.

Tec9 fix is close but no. The update helps but as I've already spoke about, they missed the ball

Overall the update is meh. I'm not happy with it but I'm not against it

I still don't see how any part of this update has made the game more ct sided. People keep saying that, and I just don't see it at all.

I think making aggressive awping less viable helps the CTs.

That's pretty much the only CT advantage I saw from this update.

All else seems to help the Ts, except the tec-9 change. Even then, the tec-9 is still good.

But the reason everybody keeps using for the AWP patch is given in the example of JW rushing hut on nuke on CT side with an awp and getting like 3 or 4 frags.

Yeah well you can't always look to the community for examples of intelligent discussion. Awping is now easier in a camper's position, and CTs get that advantage on the competitive maps.

Yeah, I agree awping has now been made to more of a scope and get your shot instead of scoping and moving to get it, but I still think cs go is a peakers advantage and if you are gonna stare at a corner I will win a majority of the time peaking, if I peak correctly.

Diving to the beginning to answer this. The opposite viewpoint would be to play the meta game.

You think I SHOULD save. You're expecting me to save. I force a mag or nova or big pistol/armor. IF I take you out, I'm ruining your economy and saving mine after the first round deficit. If I don't take you out, I'm not any worse since I wouldn't buy until the 4th round anyway. The risk vs reward in this situation means that I'm (talking about myself in actuality, not a scenario) am almost certainly going to force on second round. Unless it's like t side nuke which means I'm already facing a hard time against ct's. I think that in almost all scenarios, the risk is worth the potential reward.

Since we seem to have an odd opinion that what the pros think is all that matters, here's Friberg giving props to the SMG buffs. https://twitter.com/fribergCS/status/585046471457771520
