Matchmaking in CS2 has become a hot topic of discussion on Reddit, where players complain that the system allows teams of five to play against solos or duos. Many players are outraged that such matches are almost always unfair, as the coordination of 5-player stacks is much higher, especially when they use third-party communication programs such as Discord.
The main problem is a lack of coordination
In the comments, users describe their experiences, with zKura noting that what annoys him the most is not the matches against 5-stacks themselves, but the fact that his own teammates often refuse to use microphones. This significantly reduces team coordination and turns the match into chaos, especially when you need to react quickly to the actions of your opponents.
Other users, like SkySignificant9754, complain about the abuse of voice chats when players just shout or play music instead of giving useful information.
Gap in game levels
Players also draw attention to the large gap in the level of play between 5-stacks and solo players. Wafflepiezzz writes that many of those who once played Call of Duty have moved on to CS2 and often use offensive language, which further spoils the atmosphere of the game. It is noted that some of the problems arise because the system cannot distinguish between players with different levels of coordination.
Possible solutions to the problem
Several users offer potential solutions. ukleif609 compares the CS2 system to League of Legends, where matches involving 5-stacks against solo players are impossible, and suggests introducing a similar feature in CS2. Others believe that it is necessary to limit the ability of 5-stacks to play against solo players to avoid unfair matches.
However, some players, such as bodhiagora, point out that 5-stacks do not always have an advantage. Even well-coordinated teams can have difficulties with communication and coordination, which sometimes makes playing against 5-stacks easier for solo players.
Future prospects
As can be seen from the comments, many CS2 players expect Valve to implement a system that will reduce the number of unequal matches and ensure greater fairness. This may include changing the matchmaking mechanisms or limiting 5-stacks.
