Temporary cooldown for skill placement
With the update of 21.11.2014 (DDMMYYYY) a bunch of changes were made to the matchmaking system:
[MATCHMAKING]
– Added three restrictions to Competitive Matchmaking:
— If a player does not have a competitive Skill Group, they will not be able to queue in a party with a player having a very high Skill Group
— Accounts are restricted to two Competitive wins per day until they receive their competitive Skill Group
— Unless they are in a party of 5, players will not be able to queue for Competitive Matchmaking if their skill group range is very large.
The middle part is most relevant to you as a new player here. Note that it says 2 wins.

This only applies to matchmaking, you can still play everything else in the game. This includes, but is not limited to, deathmatchs, arms race, gun game, casual, community servers, and playing against bots.

That's a welcome addition. Sadly most people don't bother reading anything and just complain about it :/

At least I can point them to the sticky ;) I linked it from there.

It is soo lame that i gotta play 5 days with 2 matches each to get my mates skill group.. I just don't get it... Whats the explanation for that? Anyone?

For one, it can better determine what skill level you belong in. It counters you playing as the worst player in the game (supposedly), and being 'carried' by your friends.
Secondly, it would act against smurfing and other abuse of people buying a second (or many more) account and 'avoid' the rules.

Not to mention the game consists of a lot more than just matchmaking ;)

thanks for your answer Killahinstinct. I get it but it is really making me sad as 5 days is a long time if u have a run ATM :P

You've too much free time ;) I mean, it's after 2 wins right - so you could have normally speaking played 4 games. Unless your friends are good, and then we circle back to 1 - why it was implemented in the first place.

FYI: I don't work for Valve so it's just an assumption.

it's not because i left a Match! It's because i WON two matches. I have to wait 24 hours until i can play the next two matches....

It really gives a ♥♥♥♥ for players who have a skill level again and can´t rank up because there is no rankreset and you get retarded randoms who just keep loosing.

You should really be more clear what you mean, preferably without all the flaming. It sounds you've valid feedback, but it's unclear to me what it is.

Why is this being called a good idea, if ranked players are upset about non ranks playing in their games just match up non ranks with non ranks. Now someone like myself with 5 wins so far is going to take least another 3 days and that's assuming I win twice a day.
