This game has been an amazing way for me and my friends to have some fun while getting that slow dopamine drip of winning comp matches or having amazing rounds, the skin collecting that you can do with just a few hundred bucks is awesome especially when you find a good deal or a nice sticker craft. The case opening is addictive and can potentially be problematic, but being someone with absurd luck, the adrenaline of pulling something worth $1000+ can be so satisfying.

overall game is fun for friends and has the best application of competitive gaming through and through.

I will now list some Pros/Cons

Pros:
- Easy to learn
- Tons of Workshop maps for honing your skills
- Perfectly scaling ranking system
- Skin collecting
- Lots of potential for making gaming friends
- Cases

Cons:
- Not easy to learn for casual gamers
- If you don't look for ways to get better, you won't
- Not a clearly shown ELO system(you don't know when you're going to rank up/derank)
- Bad trust factor means you WILL lose your games because all players also will have bad trust factor(which means if you're
a little toxic, you will queue with cheaters more often).
- Cases ;)

TL;DR

Game Good For Good Gamers
Game Bad For Bad Gamers
Don't Gamble Kids
