The same pattern is observable with all unfair weapons; in fact, it's what defines an unfair weapon: any weapon that is so effective that use of other weapons is all but futile. I'm not sure medkit meets that definition well enough, but it's so effective and so frustrating that many players are content to disapprove of it anyway.

In a real game of CS you would likely not be able to afford that many AWPs. You keep playing on those servers with 16,000 money and what do you expect? The AWP plays its role in CS and its downfall is that it is expensive.

Regardless to say that you counter an awp with an awp would really depend on the map as thats not always the case.

In other words... quit crying about the AWP.
