There's the argument that you get a lot more duels in a 10 min deathmatch than in a 40 min game. IMHO that's simply not true. I get less than ten actual duels per deathmatch, the rest are just a shitshow. Most of the time I or the opponent get shot in the back before finishing the duel or just get shot from across the map because angle checking in dm is useless (someone will spawn where you just checked anyway).

Therefore, I think most of the hate for DM comes from this "advice" that you will be better off with four 10 min DMs than a 40 min game to aim train, which is just false. Not only you'll get at best as many real duels in 4 DMs as in a 40 min game, but in a game, you get to learn a lot of extra stuff than just dueling. I just prefer to use the range coupled with an aim training routine then hop on to comp. BTW, DM is also tilting me because of the wasted time and all the "other reasons" we all know about.

Just my 2 cents. Take it easy on me.
