Feel free to discuss your matchmaking experience, rant or vent, discuss ideas & share feedback for improvement, and talk about your recent games.
What you should know
Keep in mind that there is a limited amount of information available about these systems and how they work to keep them effective. If you have questions, here are some resources to review:
Trust Factor
- Trust Factor Matchmaking FAQ (Steam Support Article)

What you can do
Give Feedback:
- Posting feedback or complaints on the subreddit is not the best way to get the attention of the developers. If you have any specific feedback to give, you can email the CS2 Development team here: cs2team@valvesoftware.com
- They do read every email received, but are not able to reply to each one.
- If you're experiencing low-quality matches, it is always worth emailing them. They use these reports to help improve the system.
Report Cheaters:
- Report cheaters using the in-game report system by right-clicking their name on the scoreboard, and clicking "report". If the game is over, report their Steam Community profile.
- If you notice certain trends or have other feedback, you can email the developers using the email address above.
- To report a specific cheat, follow these steps to notify the VAC development team.
The guidelines
While we encourage discussion about these topics, as a reminder, the following are not allowed. Note this isn't an exhaustive list, and you should review the r/GlobalOffensive rules before commenting.
- Accusations towards any player related to cheating
- Posting profiles of alleged cheaters (if posting pictures of matches, redact any usernames)
- Posting any cheating gameplay footage
- Reporting cheats, linking to cheats/websites, or discussing cheats in technical detail
This weekly discussion thread does not change any of our existing submission rules – you're still allowed to discuss these topics elsewhere on the subreddit as usual, but we do remove a large number of them as they quickly become repetitive and the majority have little meaningful discussion. If you decide to make a separate post instead of utilizing this thread, we encourage you to focus on starting meaningful discussion or providing constructive criticism.

Game still full with cheaters. Vac need to do something…
Anyone having an issue that the game never alerts you when a match is found? I missed some premier games due to it.
Matchmaking is still shit after 1 year, people are all over the place skill wise, I still randomly find level 10s at 10k.
Sucks valve realized if they kept csgo that we woulda played it over this mess that they call cs2 🙁
I will repeat myself: Stop getting so triggered over PUGs. With the state of premier and FACEIT (especially premier), it’s not worth it with all the cheaters and griefers. Stop whining in premier about your elo and stop calling timeouts over every AFK. It’s dumb and pointless.
* [Myth: Why doesn’t Valve ban cheaters?](https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/1621726179584501164/)
So the cheaters can just ruin a whole bunch of PUGs while VAC is trying to do a big brain play? The players don’t give a shit about this. They want to play PUGs without cheaters. Remember that CS2 is free. The cheaters can hop right on another alt account to ruin more PUGs once they get banned.
I also decided to make an alt on FACEIT because I don’t want to give them my ID and I don’t feel like dealing with premier. Sue me lol
idk if u guys know that already but i learned last week that you have to delete people with vac bans on your f list.. the trust factor also takes place in your f list. Since i deleted them i swear my games are WAY better srsly
