As for the lag...Yes overrated, it lagged, but what you have to understand although while lagging for you and your team, it was lagging for your opponents team as well. We dont have the best servers in the world, not like we put alot of funds into them either, so kinda gotta suck it up and learn how to play with it like some of the other teams do or try to do.
Excuse me while I pick this apart. Where did I mention Rd in my original statement? I'm aware other teams have lag too and I was only stating the lag regarding me and my own team while judging and rating the server. Not once did I mention another team.
For myself, I can directly place at least 4 or 5 of my deaths due to sliding into something for no reason (final round as a prime example (where poke had already crashed (think it wasn't lag related, however)), perhaps?) or just overall really unstable, jittery play.
To say to "suck it up," and to learn to play with it isn't exactly a fair assessment. As I had just said, I died multiple times due to something uncontrollable. You want me to try and account for lag while I'm in a box? While I only have few options on what to do? Completely change my style of play? Not going to happen, can only be so conservative. Overall, lag had an impact. Would we have won on a more stable server for us? Probably not, but they would have at least been better matches.

For the past 5 or 6 ladles*, R has been scheduled to play in CT LIV in either the starting or second round of ladles. If anyone is more aware of how the server is starting to fare, it would be us. It has progressively gotten worse for me (I believe it was performing very well about 3 or 4 ladles ago?) and after Sunday's showing, it was the last I could stand of it. I don't know why, but it HAS been getting worse.
*One of these ladles I played with CT and played through CT LIV (which I believe the server just had a few random stutters).

To ask to ignore me is to ignore any input I have, which defeats the purpose of discussion and the whole point of the rating system. I said (and admit) something in frustration, but I did not say, nor believe, that's the reason we lost. I said it was the worst I've ever played, and that I believe our team has played in and had to deal with. If I was up and down saying that we would have won, then yes, ignore my biased input. But no, and I repeat myself again, that a better server may have had better matches (R lost 100-24 or something first match, that was mostly us sucking, not lag related, but maybe it would have been 100-40 instead (big woop), and maybe we win the second match).
Just because the server was once good doesn't mean it is anymore. I once praised the server but now I don't, take it in hand, but don't "ignore" my input.
tl;dr. I stated my opinion on the server, I stated how bad it was for me, I rated it, and that is all.
PS: I'd appreciate it, and I'm sure the community would too, if more than just a few people rated the servers.
BRAWL dead. RIP.
