Constant Knifing vs Weapon Aiming

I dont know if this has been talked about in here before, or if I'm going to open pandora's box on this, but I do have to post a slight complaint about the knifing.

Before you hit reply and react, hear me out :

I play CSS for the challenge of being able to aim.. being able to aim faster than my opponent.. and knowing the maps for an all around good non-stop fun (which is why I choose Gungame turbo since I dont want to sit around for any length of time - just put me back in the action!).

When someone switches to a knife to take advantage of someone out of bullets or turned around not looking, it's always a deliciously satisfying knifing opportunity and well deserved.

In pro games on twitch/ESL, when someone whips out the knife (which rarely happens) and takes that split second opporunity to drive it in their back, I nearly jump out of my seat and yell FUCKYEA!!

I love well timed knifings. Even when I'm the victim - I'll tell them 'good job, dick lol'

That being said, when someone plays gungame simply knifing constantly to level up and they end up nearly winning or winning the game -- I feel they are playing a different game. That game is more of a hide-and-seek based run around that is heavily exploited on tight maps with sharp corners.

For me, it kinda ruins gungame and I'm likely to leave if someone is about to win the game and I'm still on P90 or AWP because "My Ass" or alex has simply knifed me repeatedly to the top position.

My solution or recommendation (and I dont know if its possible in gungame's config or if anyone would go for this) is that if, for example, you get a knife kill and level up, you have to level up normally (with 2 gun kills) once before you can level up knifing again. So if you really wanted to you could knife/levelup then gun/levelup then knife/levelup and so forth.

Or just make it so that being knifed doesn't take you down a level.

Either way I come to test my aim against other people, not get railroaded by people running faster than everyone else and swiping their knife at anything in their way.

Although Ms Dreams does knife me the best.. sometimes I enjoy it.

Again, pls dont blow up and I'm sorry if this is a sensitive topic. I just needed to get that off my chest.

 

Another suggestion is to install a mod on the server and have, for example, every 4th or 5th map be a JUST KNIVES map where nobody gets weapons and we have to knife it out for one map. That would be fun too.
