The main issue with faceit these days is that there is no punishment on ELO (which is what people care about) for poor gameplay or poor behavior.  You say "it's a team game" but I'm getting punished for having idiots on my team consistently, and not getting rewarded at all for having to deal with them, or for playing exceptionally well

I'd like to identify 3 particular problem people that ruin the faceit queues, and my suggestions to remedy this

1) The guy who queued up but really shouldn't have

2) The guy who is a good player but is a very toxic teammate

3) The guy who should simply not be level 10 and has ranked up from getting carried or by buying an account

The Philosophy:

Skin in the game

If you're at level 10, you should not be queueing unless you're confident you will play well and that you will not be a toxic teammate.  Otherwise, go play premier.  Put some skin in the game and make a bet that you'll play well, get punished for not playing well.  That's the idea behind my suggested changes.

-if you're level 8 and above, you should not be queueing if you're going to be toxic to your teammates, this should be punished and should directly affect your elo

-if you’re level 8 and above, you should not be queueing when you are not cerain you’re going to perform at least decently.  poor performance should be punished

-we are paying money to participate in these premium queues, and then getting drunk/asleep teammates who get 5 kills a whole game. This should be punished.

After Action Reports on Teammates (karma)

1) Upvoting a teammate gives them +5 elo

2) Downvoting a teammate removes no elo

-Teammates should be able to upvote and downvote their teammates based on their teamplay/behavior (toxicity)

-This should promote the idea of good teammates and help better teammates rise faster in elo

____

Suggested Changes to ELO:

1) when 2 of your teammates have less than 60 ADR, if your ADR is above 80, you should lose 5 less elo

2) +5 elo reward for having above 90 ADR at end of game

3) -5 elo for having below 60 ADR at end of game

4) +0.1 elo reward for kills made before 1:35

No elo effect from kills made after round timer

_______

Overtime

Often times the game will go into overtime, and then into 5 overtimes, and then at the end, you get no extra elo or reduced elo loss.  just more of your time wasted.  is your time not valuable?

-the winning team should gain 10 more elo and the losing team should lose 5 less elo for simply playing the overtime out

Unexpected CS2 updates and getting banned on FACEIT

Its 2025 and somehow valve and faceit can’t push updates in sync? laughable

I’m really tired of getting banned because i get a pug AND THEN FIND OUT i have an update. Come on people

-Can we just run a CS update check before allowing queue? easy fix

___

Microphones 

at level 8 and above, you should be expected to be using a microphone.  If Minerva records zero microphone activity, you should have an elo punishment for not taking the game seriously enough for your teammate's consideration.  I suggest a -10 elo calculation in this event
