The latter option would also disadvantage the lower ranked players as there’s an opportunity they’re going to be queued against this “new” player and obtain a nasty experience.
It seems that Trust Factor essentially tries to pair people up who is at an equivalent relative skill level no matter whether they’re CSGO level 21, unlike CSGO Prime Account.
This HAS the potential to figure well, but as talked above, it can pool intentionally bad players with unintentionally bad players.
Prime is advantageous here as, while being level 21 isn’t impossible for a fanatical cheater to realize, it can a minimum of stop some who don’t have the patience to grind thereto level.
Valve has also said that Trust Factor is usually on, even when queuing with Prime.
This suggests that those you queue against need to be both CSGO level 21 AND play at an equivalent level as you.
