Competitive cooldown in CS:GO? It's simple: to punish bad behavior and discourage cheaters. If you're not playing by the rules, you're sitting on the bench for a bit.

Honestly, it's just Valve's way of keeping the game enjoyable. Without cooldowns, CS:GO would be the Wild West with trolls and hackers running rampant. So, cooldowns = more enjoyable game time.

CS:GO slaps you with a competitive cooldown to keep the game fair and fun for everyone. It's like a time-out for players who quit matches early, show some unfriendly behavior, or just play a bit too well (smurfing). Imagine it as the game's way of saying, "Chill, buddy. Let's keep things nice for everyone." Plus, it helps prevent hackers from ruining the game. So, in a way, it's a bit of tough love for a better gaming experience.
