Pistols in GO will always be OP until they fix tagging.

Can't take this mouse anymore, the random stopping is getting more frequent and it's also lasting longer, around three-five seconds now. I tried multiple usb ports and also reinstalling the drivers. Nothing is working though. So I'm pretty sure it's dying or going that way.
So I decided to get this beauty to match my new headset. Corsair M65. I should be all set after this.

Envy were melting faces with the CZ in their match against NIP yesterday. Granted, they are eco specialists but you should have seen some of the long range headshots they were pulling out with that gun. I think the reason the CZ feels worse than it really is because the alternatives (5-7, Tec-9) are just way better. And yea, it's possible that they might go overboard with the nerf but the truth is that it does require rebalancing.
Don't make the tech 9 worse, just make everything else better
That would be a stupid solution imo.
So I think I've discovered that a big deciding factor for me dropping from nova 1 to silver elite (back to silver elite master now) was being too tired. I've recent started a new job which I need to be up at 6am and then when I get home and sort kids out its about 8pm so I'm shattered and it's been having an impact on my reaction times.
Secondly playing consistently, cause of the new job I've been going 3/4 days without playing which means I'm having to spend my two game of comp actually warming up(my spray control has really suffered with the AK, just when I was getting great at long range spraying)
Lastly, playing solo, I really need to stop this and just play in DM, but because my time is so limited, if my buddies aren't on then I just want to play comp and get stuck with people that can't speak English, try to full buy on second round when we lose pistol and then continue to be toxic the entire game.
I seem to be back on the right track now, so hopefully can build it back up I'm trying to go back to basics a little by watching old videos on spray control and positioning to remind myself what I might be lacking!

No it makes the game stupid. adadada tap tap tap tap tap tap.
no pls don't hurt my 5-7.
I know that feel.dankmeme, but nothing a shot of tequila won't fix.
If your mates are not on then just do DM, and more DM. I rec just starting out with bot DM, and then go into a server. Just really work on improving your aim.

250>5-7 don't hurt me pls
Literally the worst opinion.
Can't say I agree. Like at all.
I don't have the stats on the top of my head. But idk man, if they deal the same damage, and is a one shot headshot at close range. I rather have the 5-7. Cause the clip are bigger.
My suggestions to fix the tec9 and pistols in general:
Basically a middleway between 1.6 pistols (which were way to underpowered) and current pistols.
And then a lot of other things like fixed hitboxes, slightly nerfed smokes, slightly buffed flashes, more wallbanging spots, removing that ridiculious scout jump shot, fixed sound, real competitive settings in MM, removing that stupid rank limitation in MM etc.
There is so much wrong with this game I wonder what the devs do all day. It's almost like they don't want to fix all this just to keep the casuals and silvers happy. Especially after that CSGO dev retweeted an article about Katowice where literally the first point was "strong pistols make the game a lot of fun to watch". I really hope this isn't the mindset of the devs. Not to mention that I don't know what's so fun about watching a team steamroll their way into a bombsite with tec9s as if this was COD.
- Reduce running accuracy of all pistols (except deagle)
- Reduce damage multiplier to the head of all pistols so that the Deagle is the only one shot kill against armor.
- Reduce fire rate of the tec9
- Fix tagging system based on which weapon you are getting shot with and not based on which weapon you have.

This is wrong.
Please apologize and reflect on what you just posted.
The Tec is so ridiculous. Why do a proper forcebuy on Tside when you can just roll in with full armour and a Tec-9 for $1500? You have more mobility than any other gun and the running accuracy is insane.
It needs a nerf, badly. It'd be amazing what kind of change you'd see if just the time required between shots was increased.

Tec 9 should cost more. Let you get them headshots on tec 9 rushers.
I say leave the gun alone but have it cost 1.5x more.

In the current state of the game, pistols are far too easily spam. The spread after each shot should be increased across the board.
Wow that fucking pisses me off. They are totally ignorant to balancing in this game.

I'm no fan of overnerfing stuff. Just look at what they did to the CZ and they started to reverse some of the nerfs. I think it's better to gradually nerf the pistols until they feel balanced, instead of nerfing everything at once and give the eco team no possibility to win a round. Makes it far too boring.
play matchmaking mate
that might actually work, I probably get the Russian server as it's in Stockholm and I have 5 ping on it, thanks a lot!
Definitely try this. Personally the app doesn't work for me because I don't use Microsoft firewall but I was able to manually block the IP ranges of the non US servers in my firewall and it solved my high ping issues.

KRiMZ not playing tonight. Put a small bet on F3 just for shits and giggles.

If this works...
Then again the last game I played I had two pricks from Bolton or something calling us "queers" (clearly it's still 1995 in Bolton) and then the ultimate insult: "BY THE WAY MATE YOUR KNIFE IS SHIT"
I had to dip myself in the North Sea to cool down that burn. I'll never fully recover. Insulting my virtual item, how am I supposed to handle it?

adreN or AdreN?
pistol armor!
I've been pretty accepting of most changes between 1.6 and GO, but pistol rounds in GO are so ridiculous to me. Body shots mean absolutely nothing, you can barely slow down someone running full speed if you hit them once.. Should I just accept that pistol rounds are just an RNG fest and try to work on falling back as a CT and retaking?
They are definitely not an RNG fest. but headshots are essential on both sites. And it's always a better option to get of some shots and fall back to retake with your team then getting overwhelmed and dying pointlessly.
5-7/Tec-9 + Armor all the way.
Yep. It comes down to being able to stand still to position shots properly, I think -- even if just for one shot/one split-second. If you're outnumbered, 2v1, one of those players can stand still while the other pushes you -- you're dead most of the time. You need to outnumber the enemy in fights, and if not, you need to be able to take a few shots, change your position/fall back, and repeat until you're dead or you take one of them out.
That's just my style though. My aim isn't good enough for me to be scoring pistol entry HSs and crazy shit like that.
Unless I have a Tec-9.
Do what I do. Just don't win pistols. :d
At least the opponents are as good/better than the pros.

Hmm - interesting.
I wonder if Valve immediately pushes the update for the MM version - or if we'll have to wait a couple of days longer for that and this is just an update for the Workshop version..
