The world CSGO community is controversial because of the game’s latest update

The new CSGO update has received mixed reviews from the community.

CSGO: Big update changes losing round bonus, adjusts AUG price and M4A1-WORRY magazine

The new patch, with its revised economy system, has the potential to completely change the metagame.

• Bonuses from losing rounds are now based on the ‘number of rounds’ the team lost. The ‘number of rounds lost’ increases by 1 after each round lost, and decreases after each round won (minimum 0).
• Previously, a winning round would ‘reset’ the bonus money from the losing round. Now, winning a round only reduces the ‘number of rounds lost’ by 1

This change affects the previous ‘reset round’ where you won a round and then lost the next round. Usually in this situation, the team can choose eco twice in a row, to accumulate enough money to fully load the gun later. Teams can now have extra cash to get their guns earlier, increasing the number of gun rounds on a map.

This change was generally well received by the community. However, there are a few small adjustments that make some unhappy. They don’t affect rank much, but can reduce the competitive value of professional games.

Regarding the response of the AUG, the price of this gun increased by $150. This is considered the right move, but some players think such price increases are not enough.

AUG is constantly used in the highest arena of CSGO, and sometimes completely replaces the classic M4 of the game. Some people consider this gun not to use much skill and are waiting for more nerfs. Valve then considered adjusting and increasing the price of the gun.

AUG still needs a nerf or even higher price.

FaZe Clan’s NiKo says AUG needs to be nerfed or raised to $3,500. Many people believe that $3,300 is not enough to influence AUG habits in the pro scene.

nerf AUG money so it’s harder to pick up WHILE at the same time changing economy so resets aren’t as bad and CTs have more money so we can buy the AUGs still ?? I see what’s going on @csgo_dev XD

Liquid’s EliGE said that raising the price of AUG so that people don’t buy as much as before, but the economic change will help CT have more money, giving players the opportunity to buy more AUG. Overall, this nerf has not been able to reduce the AUG fever yet.

Meanwhile, an update that looks small, but has a huge impact in the competition is information about flashbang. This item has not been changed, but the flashbang assist will be displayed in the upper right corner.

• Added flashbang assist for players to successfully flash an opponent and then get killed by another player. Flashbang throwers will be shown assist in the notification panel. However, if another player deals more than 40 damage to the victim, the support flashbanger will not be displayed.

I think it’s stupid to show the flash assist in killfeed. If u are for example 3 guys on a bombsite and u kill 2 of them u know that there is one more if the third player got the flashassist earlier

Lets say one T go banana, 4 Ts go street, CT push 2 people banana, kills that guy and a third guy gets the flash assist. They know 100% 3 CTs are B and can do something fast towards weak A defense

Fnatic’s JW gave a good example of how this flashbang change could affect the game. For example: 1 T goes banana, 4 T goes mid, 2 CTs push banana and kill one, while the third person support flashbang info appears. T knows with 100% certainty that there is a 3CT on side B and will quickly exploit the weak defense of side A.

This patch is currently being applied at WESG 2019 and is being opposed by professional players because it exposes too much information in the game to opponents.
