    A kernel level anti-cheat has access to ALL of your OS, and kernel level programs can directly manipulate your resources to how they see fit. In Faceit's case, the anticheat does nothing but check for hacks, but, if somehow someone gains access to the anticheat, they have access to your whole PC, which is where people have issues with this type of anti-cheat. Its nothing to worry about though, unless it becomes something to worry about, like what happened with ESEA

      Actually, a lot of games have kernel level AC, but it launches before game (easy anticheat) or at slthe same time with game launching

      If someone were to hack any game they can install malware. Anything you download can be a root kit. A kernel level anti cheat does not make you any more vulnerable than any other type of hack, if you download malware you are at its mercy. The problem with kernel level anti cheats are that they are not open source and thus are a massive privacy violation and a backdoor for the company to access your computer as they see fit. People download mods all the time and pose much more of a risk of getting a malware than through AAA games but AAA games are much more likely to have ties to China and western governments.
      Plus if you really want to avoid kernel level malware then don't install MS Windows.

      ​@@Bagginsess "Ties to the Chinese government" main thing keeping me from Valorant is the fact that it's owned by Tencent and it's the reason it's keeping me from faceit, i don't cheat but I'm not giving a company the same access to my pc as me that's delusional. "edit" Considering every U.S. citizen got their SSN leaked a few days ago anything is possible and I'm not having someone steal my banking info or account logins because some company got their servers hacked.

    faceit is pretty cool, especially that one time I got to be team leader and managed to get Finnish servers on Nuke. Me and my bud were the only Finns in the game, both had ~ 5 ping with everyone else sitting in the 20 - 45 range. Hit some nice AWP shots that game

    My main problem with faceit is that unless you have premium the games there are mirage simulators. And I personally hate mirage. The second problem for me is toxicity. I am a person who is highly affected by it. And faceit environment is much more toxic as you mentioned. From my personal experience my level of play hasn't become much higher when I started to focus on faceit games but my will to play and interest in the game fell down a lot. And then my level of play started snowballing down. All of that was during csgo times though, I haven't touched faceit since summer.
    Overall I don't think that faceit is a suitable playing environment for me personally.

    Couple comments regarding the anti cheat and what you said.
    1. The concern with the ring 0 (or kernel level) AC, is not that the company could spy on you (at least not for most). The issue (and real danger) is, that someone could exploit that AC to get access to your computer. I mean look at the exploit with the kick vote system that came out yesterday. That didn't even need kernel level access to your system and could download a payload on to your computer. And that is developed by a multi billion dollar company. Now imagine what someone could do if they found a faceit AC exploit.
    2. Yes cheating on a ring 0 AC is harder, but still very doable. People have been led to believe that this form of AC is somehow the magic fix against cheaters. Well I can tell you, it's not. Valorant has a huge closet cheater problem and so does faceit. You're just not noticing it, because you've been conditioned to believe that there aren't that many cheaters, thus your conclusion is, "he must be pretty good". Also people who cheat on faceit, are just not as blatant as they are in premier. You don't see literal silvers wallhacking, making it easy to know they're just bad and cheating.
    Faceit cheaters are already level 10 on their own and just use cheats only to get that slight edge. Low FOV aimbots, radar hacks that sort of thing.

  • @Allen-in-STL
    @Allen-in-STL ปีที่แล้ว +7

    IMO the main benefit of Premium is better and more responsive support. FaceIt support started to review and react to my thrower/smurf reports more consistently after I subscribed.
    Also, you won’t face a lot of cheaters but low elo players will certainly experience a ton of smurfs. It’s gotten better of the years, but smurfs are a much bigger deal on FaceIt vs Premier.

    the thing about cheaters on faceit is completly different to premier. People are way more serios on faceit so their cheating behavior is profesionally too if they do so. I dont say there are a ton of cheaters on faceit, but how do you wana know. You just dont. if the cheater is acutally somewhat good at the game and just knows when he can cheat even if its just a suddle information or esp. Thats sooo hard to even notice or see on a demo. Thats just a point i wanted to make. The enviorment is completly different. Valve anticheat is near to not existent right now so noone cares how obvious they cheat exactly the opposite from faceit.

    I'm having a good time on premier, but I gotta say the streak algorithm went pretty crazy recently, I'm at a point where my gains / losses are solely streak based, I'm at -100/+100, if I lose one I'm at -350/+100 if I win one I'm at -100/+350. It's just a bit wild and doesn't make much sense to me.

  • @A1_Oxyde
    @A1_Oxyde ปีที่แล้ว +3

    One big problem with faceit is 5q going vs non 5q, especially since people abuse the elo factor when you have 1 or 2 high elo players with a bunch of low elo vs 5 people on sorta average. And the issue is that the difference between a level 3 and a level 7, is way smaller between a level 7 and a 2600 ELO player.
    Also their AC it's kernel level yes but is a very aggressive one for being kernel, as an example EAC is also kernel but is not as intrusive (proof of that, apex is filled with cheaters in the top ranks)

    Basically, the kernel is the brain of your computer’s software. If something has access to your kernel, it could potentially gain access to sensitive information.
    It boils down to a single consideration: would you rather play private or enjoy the game? You can’t have both. Ideally, you’d separate your gaming system (Windows 10/11) from your work/personal system (Linux/Unix… or Arch if you’re a gangster).
    Hope that clarifies things!

    While the kernel anticheat will help prevent the blatant and cheap cheaters, it's not going to do anything to people with external hardware that's reading and processing memory or using image recognition software. You're just going to be facing subtle cheaters, rather than blatant.

    2) Their anticheat isn't 100% so you can still encounter cheaters, but more wealthy that are paying for subscription based cheats and more savvy that are not rage cheating but doing it more subtle.

    Lmao I was just considering starting FaceIt. I used to tell myself that once I reach Global I will do Faceit, but I only managed to get to LEM before cs2. Now the premier elo is not that satisfying to climb, and the games are not fun half the time. Thank you for the video!

      No problem!:) I hope you have a good experience. The first chunk of matches are always the weirdest and most difficult on faceit

    About the expected ELO to gain - it's not as simple as 50% of the opponent's team chance to win. If a 2100 ELO queues with 1400 ELO and the enemy team's change to win is 50%, the 2100 ELO player will gain a lot less than the 1400 ELO player. For example 2100 ELO player will gain 14 points where as the 1400 ELO player will gain 26. And this makes sense to me.
    What's interesting is that if these two players were to lose, the lower ELO player will be deducted higher points than the high ELO player.
    These are just observations from my games, I do not claim to know everything about faceit's system.

    Great video, Wilson! I just have a question though. Since the elo you'd gain or lose is already predetermined, does that mean that your individual performance does not count? Is this the case or did I just misunderstood what you explained?

    I've been trying Faceit. I've somehow managed to get nothing but complete idiots, who literally never even use their mics and I'm the only one on comms. I'm 7 games in, with 7 losses, all 13-2 or 13-3 or somewhere in that realm.
    I'm ending the game with 2k-2.5k damage and 23-25 kills and 8-10 assists, the second guy on my team always has like 800 damage, 0 assists. I feel like I'm getting paired with literally the worst people on Faceit, who won't communicate or do any teamwork, and i can't carry the team to a win without SOMEONE doing something. And i think i have yet to play anything but mirage. They always go mirage.

    Just to make it clear, FPL is not a "rank" or "level" beyond challenger level. It is just own hub of matchmaking, that only invited players can join. There are lot of fpl players who are not challengers, there for lower level than some of the players that are not in FPL.

    Hey Wilson, awesome video. I may have missed this, but when you mentioned the Captain mechanic, does the Captain ultimately have the final decision on the play for a round? Is it just the considered way of playing FaceIt?

    • @WilsonCS2
      @WilsonCS2  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The captain is really only important for the map/server/starting side bans and picks. I’m terms of in-game calling, it’s totally free game and there isn’t any attention paid to who is captai.

    As an NA SoloQer in Level 6, faceit fucking blows. I get toxic teammates and teammates with no microphone, and smurfs on the enemy team about 1 in every other match and constantly get people who don't really know what they're doing. Finding a team under level 9 is basically impossible, and running strats with rando's just isn't an option. Faceit is as bad or worse than Premier right now.
    Oh and I forgot about the people from EU playing on NA servers, that's super fucking annoying.

    • @NOBODY-bf9cs
      @NOBODY-bf9cs ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I believe the EU people playing on NA servers are there cuz they'd rather play on 100 ping with someone who at least speak English instead of having another lobby full of Russian screaming people who flood the game and are a nightmare to deal with. Still a valid point obviously, but yeah, this is how it is. I guess if Faceit started banning them there would be so little people to play their business plan would no longer be viable.
