Arcade battles are actually pretty fun, the research system takes too long though

Let's start with the bad things about CS, one of the biggest flaws are the trust factor and report system. Any player who performs well or gets lucky with a couple of plays can be reported and have their trust factor go down. Reports don't count as much as in game behaviour but if you are playing with low to decent trust factor to begin with, it's extremely annoying to not be able to progress with your trust since you are put in low trust factor with players who are either mic spammers, afks, team killers or your occasional cheaters here and there. Since it is so easy to cheat, it's difficult to distinguish good players from actual cheaters which can be very toxic for people who are putting their honest effort into the game. This can create a toxic mentality that any player who makes an unlikely play or just playing unconventionally seems like a cheater. New players who are new to the game might find this an obstacle unless they purchase PRIME since it takes so long to reach level 21 by regular means. Since CSGO is free to play, banned players can just make a new account without any consequences which can lead to even more players cheating. However at the core of the game play, CS is a very well designed game which has seen it's fair shares of bugs, exploits or boost spots. There isn't any terrible lag compensation nor are there bad hit detection compared to either arcade or tactical shooters. It takes a while to learn the game and has an extremely high skill ceiling. VAC can be underwhelming when it comes to banning players, but it learns everyday. As you learn the game and understand the core mechanics, team play and when to or not to take fights, making every win feel extremely rewarding. The pros and the enjoyment of CSGO far out-weights the cons. That's not to say the game hasn't had it's fair share of mistakes and flaws. But for the price of $0.00, What do you have to lose?(Except all your skins and knifes when you get VAC banned dummy boi)
