>We heard those of you who are affected by unreliable internet/electricity issues and are losing double Elo frequently as a result. While you are responsible for not creating a negative experience for your teammates by dropping out mid-match, we want to still offer a pathway to playing without worrying about penalization. As a result, we’re waiving all leaver Elo penalties for players in 5-stacks: if you’re playing with a team that’s happy to compete despite the disconnection risk, we feel there’s no need to add the extra penalty.
This is a nice change, but what I’m hearing is that if you’re playing in a 5 stack, the first guy to abandon a game that you’re about to lose gets to just save their elo. Hopefully Faceit has thought of this and has a way to try to mitigate abusing this, or maybe I’m just missing something.
I’m glad they took an all or nothing stance regarding SOCD/Null binds. It makes zero sense to allow one but not the other since they essentially have the same impact. However, it really sucks that we’re just allowing cheating now because it’s inside a keyboard.
Wait are desubticked movements still allowed I’m at work I can’t read shit rn. They aren’t null binds but they’re the
Alias +forward_ “+forward; +forward; +forward”
Alias -forward_ “-forward; -forward; -forward; -forward”
^^^ am I allowed shit like this on all my movement keys or should I get rid of it? It doesn’t mimic snap tap at all.
Getting rid of the toxic players is good faceit is so bad for it
Any update that isn’t adding vote kicking back in is unacceptable
Faceit is riddled with toxic players currently. I have to mute so many each time I play.
These increased bans sound like music to my ears.
So null binds are allowed in normal faceit matches but not in league matches. i understood right?
Lmfao
Firing up my bull bind config I guess. So dumb
Dont play at a possible disadvantage I guess….

the amount of misinformation about SOCD is actually insane, the amount of people who think you become s1mple by just turning it on is actually unbelievable, people here really think it eliminates 100% of human error and makes counterstrafing so easy that you can master it in 1 play session, regardless of the existence of the feature, people who suck will also suck with this feature on, it wont change anything and people who say its p2w, there is and will be always p2w hardware like monitors, PC’s etc. its nothing new to the scene and yea its technically a disadvantage but again then there are kids with 60hz monitors playing with low framerates and destroying people with the highest end of hardware
I experienced someone getting banned for toxicity already !
