I played CS since 2008 xD of course with many many breaks, but still in my case level 9 is something that I should expect after this much time invested into a game. I wouldn't say its that crazy compared to the time I put in :D and the anti-cheat tbh I never really had issue with cheaters, of course there were some but it was very rare like one every 100 matches maybe, they allways been banned really fast and faceit allways give back points for those who lost against cheaters. The best change I think in this season is alltalk durning halfime tho and new sound when all people join. Being able to talk to enemy in half time is really fun and destresses a little bit, also the sound when all people join to server makes it easy, you can just sit at desktop with game minimalized and how know when everyone is on the server ready to play.
