Armor update in CS:GO. When not to buy it?

Updating armor in CS:GO is the most common mistake and problem of both beginners and professional players. There is a service Scope.gg it calculates various statistics on the game CS:GO and not only, there since the update 0.09b there is a section – Performance, which collected the most unusual information, including “in vain (useless) upgraded armor”.

Players often break themselves and the team economy just by buying “upgrading” armor, you should not do it if you have 50 or more % of it left when playing for T or 60 or more % when playing for CT.

If you buy it when you have no less value, then you just lose 650$ on nothing. Buying it once you’re not creating a problem, however if it’s in the long run your team’s economy will likely suffer.

The scope service collected over 100,000 demos of players of different levels and came to the conclusion that in every 2nd round players re-buy armor, even though it is the right value.
