I've played Counter-Strike since 1.5, summing up over 10 years, so expect skill and experience in my gamesense. Since 2010 the cs community has strongly increased, CS Source and CS Go and the useless ('my opinion') skins were introduced - but the biggest problem still exists: CHEATERS/HACKERS.

VAC and Steam are not able to avoid cheaters playing this game! Since I have been working professionally I do not have time for 5-10 games per day. I'm focusing on the wingman games or a quick 5on5 with a real-life friend, enjoying the beauty of Counter-Strike for a few minutes during the week - usually fun ends after the first game.

I've experience in boosting cheaters in 1on1, 2on2 and 5on5 matches from 2005-2010 in ESL. Cheating is the most powerful tool to destroy fun playing this wonderful game. If I play 7 wingman games facing 4 cheaters it is just a waste of my time. VAC do your work - take a look at cheating forums. Every day 2-3 cheats are published or updated. Multiplied by the amount of cheating forums, that gives you a tremendous amount of cheaters. From my experience more than 50% of all my wingman opponents had been cheating: incredible one-shots, always perfect timing, turning on after losing, just making fun of their perfect timed wallbanging. The reporting system for wingman does not work. The idea of offering this game for free was ignorant. I have always supported the community watching Overwatch demos and working on banning cheaters - but the cheater problem has increased incredibly and kills this beautiful game. Actually there is no chance to play this game without a third-party software to prevent cheaters destroying your match.

Looking at the downloads numbers of cheats within public forums you should expect more than 10,000-20,000 cheaters playing this game right now, not taking into account a dark digit (foreign language forums, private hacks, etc.). So expect more than 50,000 players who are using cheats.

VAC/Steam: Start to improve your analyze system, ban immediately during the game, ban hardware, take personal id data for a CS GO prime registration, ban for life, ban for a few days after suspicious behavior, punish also the teammates for not reporting a cheater if he is detected, introduce a transparent and new ranking system (waiting period to rank-up into a new level from silver to gold..., maybe several years to reach global). Your task is to prevent cheaters destroying this game, especially on high level matches. Just start!!!

This is so sad.
