Cooldown? More like a chill down period for players who can't keep their cool. It's there to stop rage quitters and trolls in their tracks. Simple as.

The cooldown in CS:GO is basically there to keep the game fair and enjoyable for everyone. It's like giving a time-out for things like leaving matches early, team killing, or being kicked from too many games. It's also there for new players to limit how many competitive wins they can get in a day until they're placed in a rank. This way, it prevents hackers and smurfs from ruining the game for everyone else. Think of it as Valve's way of saying, 'Play nice, or take a break!'

Honestly, the cooldown system can be a bit much. Sometimes it feels like you're getting punished for just playing the game, especially with the auto-cooldown for new players in competitive. But I get it, it's all in the name of keeping the game fair.
