What I mean is that if you get good enough at CS to outCS those people you ' ll climb easilyDecision making is very important but it ' s not a concept you can learn as fast as you can learn to CSWhat my point is , is that basically for the amount of time invested , learning to CS will give you the quickest returns on investment going from 1 k level CS to 4 k level CS will get you another thousand MMR , then you ' re playing against 2 ks and you learn to make better decisions than you would against 1 ks , who won ' t punish you as hard for mistakes , and so onIt ' s also simple to learn you know if you ' re CSing well , you don ' t know if you made a good decision until you can watch a replay or gt outside inputDecision making is abstract and incredibly hard to learn when you ' re against opponents who won ' t punish you for a fuckup in fact , the best way to learn , if only it wouldn ' t ruin peoples ' games , would be to put everyone up against players who are a couple thousand MMR above them so they can learn what not to do . Walk into a bad area ? Dead . Overextend ? Dead . Etc .
