TLDR: After 3 acts I finally learned that

1. If I don't feel like my aim is warmed up, it isn't, and I should play until I feel like it. Using the spike plant/defuse is a really good practice(at least for me).
2. Invite good players to play together, it's way better than to wait the matchmaking system to randomly pick someone for your team.

I'll try to stay on topic, but I've got a lot of things to say, lol.First off, I remember seeing a guy post here one time that practicing on the practice range with the spike plant/defuse did a lot for his aiming, prefiring and crosshair placement, and I've got to say: Yep, it does seem to work. Today I was kinda bored and felt my aim was kinda sluggish even after playing for a bit, so I spent some time on the practice range until I could consistently finish it on hard, without abilities. Only after that, I got to comp.

So, the first match. Our team was fine, and the enemy was too. They started winning, but when we got to defend, even with our Sova disconnecting for around 3 rounds, we managed to get back on top. The first half was 5-7, the final result was 13-9. I got MVP, with 30/20/5.

By the way, by the normal standards of comp around Bronze, I got to say, my first team was really good. Only one afk that returned, a guy fragging as much as me(25k) and the rest giving us good support. But I didn't mention this because on the second match, I felt like I was around friends, tbh.

So, match starting and... everyone using their mic. Yep, just like that. I was easy match tbh, and I even dropped an Ace getting more agressive on Omen. First half went 10-2. They surrendered when we won the pistol round on defense. I got MVP again, ending up with 17/6/2.

The third match was great too. I played 3 guys from the first game and one guy from the second game. The first half started kinda scary, as I thought there could be some smurfs on the other team and when we were losing to 2-3 something just clicked. We won every round after that, with the first half ending in 9-3, and no second half as they surrendered again. It sounds like an easy game, but they were playin really well. Their plays were coordinated, but it seems some of them lacked the game knoledge. Oh yeah, almost forgot. I got my second ace of the night on this game. Ended up with match MVP the third time, with 18/6/1.

After these three matches, I stopped playing. Y'know, I'm not a player with 10k hours on CS. The only other FPS I played was Quake Champions(230h) and insurgency(100h). And on neither of them I felt like I was good or anything. Stopped playing QC because of matchmaking times(like, no one plays that, never mind on ranked) and Insurgency because I got kinda bored of it and most of its player base moved to the newer game when it launched.

On act 1 I peaked silver 2, and after that most of my friends stopped playing, so I've been soloqueueing on bronze since around Act 2. This streak of games made me think about inviting more random players that play well(using comms, not being an asshole, etc) to play with. I've never felt too comfortable queueing with strangers, but now I think I'll start playing unranked before comp and getting people there to play with.

Anyway, I feel like this subreddit has a lot of people complaining about their matchmaking, and I don't disagree. Comp matchmaking can be a bitch, and we should complain about it, so that it gets better. I don't like the "you deserve the rank you are" talk because it places the matchmaking system at an uncriticable state. "No, you cannot complain about it, it's the sacred system, nothing about it is bad." But I do think we have to praise the game when it actually provides us some nice games. We do love the game, after all.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Hope the best of luck for you! :)
