I really don't understand CS:GO ranking...

Does the game just hate me or does the game just hate me?

No you're just bad

There's a lot that attributes to ranking up...

 

Also good luck getting out of Silver.

The ELO system (based on the one from chess) on principle compares your performance to that of your opponents. i.e. if you kill someone better than you you get more "points" toward ranking up and if you kill someone ranked below you you lose more points toward ranking up. So even though you are top fragging against silvers I promise you would hardly have any kills against high ranked players. That being said I personally think the ranking system does a good job determining a player's skill.

Silver? Hell good luck getting out of MG leagues.

yea I've been having trouble too, I was Silver Elite when i first got ranked (after 10 wins) but recently i dropped to Silver 4 (i had a few bad games + disconnections due to network issues). 2 games later I'm back at Silver Elite.

My goal is to get out of Silver by October (when i head off to College)

I think I have two more games to win to get my rank. Would be pleased with a silver 2/3. Should be able to get it this weekend but it can be a grind playing with strangers. Good game last night with one guy giving calls as terrorists and it made a big difference

Reading this thread makes me feel good about being DMG
