3kliksphilip claims CSGO\u2019s Deagle doesn\u2019t need buff despite player outrage YouTube: 3kliksphilip \/ ValvePhilip \u20183kliksphilip\u2019 Dyer has weighed into the CS:GO Desert Eagle debate, saying that the $800 hand-cannon doesn\u2019t need a buff like players have suggested. Instead, the popular YouTuber believes the gun is well-balanced. The Desert Eagle is one of Counter-Strike\u2019s most iconic guns. Countless plays have been made with the hand-cannon, from Happy\u2019s Play of the Decade Ace, to Xizt\u2019s huge clutch way back in the 1.6 days for Fnatic. However, recently players have gotten in an uproar over the gun feeling weaker than it ever has before. Dozens of posts have skyrocketed to the top of the \/r\/globaloffensive subreddit, all claiming the Deagle doesn\u2019t live up to its former glory. \u201cThe Desert Eagle is flawed. Not because it is overpowered or underpowered, but because its intention is missed by the developers. It is supposed to be a high skill, high reward type of gun. Yet that doesn\u2019t seem to be the case,\u201d one post by Woody_S said. However, YouTuber 3kliksphilip has debunked these claims, saying they\u2019re not backed by facts. They\u2019re reliant on nostalgia, which doesn\u2019t even really exist, to base a point that the Deagle needs a buff.

Compared to any other game in existence, CS:GO\u2019s weapons have been far more rigorously balanced to ensure they all serve some sort of purpose,\u201d he said in a November 27 video. \u201cAll those frags you\u2019ve seen from pros are as much luck as anything else. There was one difference back then, and that was the second shot fired was just as precise as the first.\u201d He broke down the stats of the Deagle to prove his point. The gun is one of the most accurate in the game, beating out all other pistols, and even most of the rifles. While it\u2019s never claimed to be the \u201cmost accurate,\u201d it\u2019s still \u201csurprisingly accurate,\u201d like the weapon\u2019s description says. \u201cThe gun has never claimed to be the most accurate in the game, not by a long shot. The Deagle does live up to its expectation of being surprisingly accurate though.\u201d Valve did try to fill the community niche for a sniper-like hand cannon in the R8 Revolver, but that missed the mark due to the long wind-up. Now, the community wants that ideal gun to be the Deagle, which Philip says is illogical. \u201cFor what people want from the Deagle, you\u2019d be better off making an entirely new weapon to fulfil these criteria. But Valve did make a new weapon \u2014 they made the Revolver, which players can opt for instead of a Deagle, but don\u2019t because it\u2019s a bit rubbish.\u201d There has been a decent patch proposed by community modders. The Weapon Balance Mod\u2019s latest update, which 3kliksphilip highlighted, would decrease the Deagle\u2019s high damage drop off, while reducing its base damage and armor penetration to reward headshots. While these changes won\u2019t be making it into the game properly, at least for now, 3kliks wants the community to realise that the Deagle is in a better spot than ever before. He used a side-by-side of 1.6 vs CS:GO as a comparison, and the Deagle in the 2012 release is far more accurate. \u201cAs far as competitive Counter-Strike goes, RNG has always had a part to play with the Deagle. Those wanting less of the random element should be praising the gun for the state that it\u2019s in right now in CS:GO in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
