CapuI understand what you mean, but when is the playerbase going to be big enough? The way I see it, it's the same problem MM has: you try it, the games are awful and you never come back, so it never grows.

I can understand this, but Valve have dropped the ball horribly on MM which has left us a bit short on options for growth. FaceIt is a really good chance to establish a strong base on a high profile platform with devs that might be more responsive, and as a community it could be huge to work through the growing pains and establish it as a viable system.

sacsolo experience:
no logs
play in teams with no medics (and if you do go medic you get people who can't do the rollout)
no comms and people get upset if you ask them once to go discord
clueless players holding down forward all the time

vs

keen nerds stacking together for the premium with full team in discord/mumble comming

this happened 4 out of 4 times

how is this any different from tf2center? :D

Not my experience at all. And i've never queued up with a party since after the first closed beta

I'm not trying to say FaceIt is bad in any way, I think it's a great addition to TF2. The website works, the servers are good, the rules are the ones the community has been using for a long time and they seem to be working on it. I tried it yesterday for the first time and it's everything we could've asked from Matchmaking and more. You can even win prizes and the prizepool of the incoming tournament is bigger than anything Valve has ever thrown at us.

However, they're asking for feedback and suggestions, and in my opinion, opening the doors to everyone could result in more experienced players giving up on the site. I'm not even talking about bad/mediocre players. I'm not a great player either, but I've been getting players who almost installed TF2 just to play in FaceIt and fight over who gets to play heavy and then call each other bad in chat. I've also seen someone say they'd rather play in TF2C because the skill level is higher in there, and that might be true.

If they decide not to implement it, I hope I'm wrong and the site keeps growing.

Edit: as I was typing that, they bumped the requirement to 150 hours, so cheers.

Well, FACEIT has Elo, so this current problem with new players should dissolve soon.

How soon and how effectively it'll balance out is unknown though.

It won't be in in time for the tournament, but it is planned to be added.

Their plugin system can't account for KOTH currently, it's only set up for CP, and it was going to be too much work to overhaul it to support KOTH in time. I'm sure it'll come though.

They should integrate mumble or discord into the website to encourage players to comm as well as logs to give newish players an idea of how well they did.

I've been experiencing the same thing in NA matches where one team has all the highest level players and the other has all the lowest level players. Here's a match room for an example of one of the most egregiously imbalanced matches: https://www.faceit.com/en/tf2/room/5a0f12e2-8e11-4057-bf07-9d94df31d84a

This should be priority #1 to fix right now.

I'm guessing it queues you with people of similar ELO, but not AGAINST people of similar ELO.

The matchmaking is still insanely busted. I know it's a beta that's supposed to test these things out but the teams are almost literally the 6 best players on the server vs the 6 worst. Makes for an unenjoyable experience for pretty much everyone.

Luck, or improvement?
I guess you need to pay stacks to get on stacks, considering they're still stacking premiums on one team.

At least games actually start now. There was some asshole who could see teams ahead of time and would not ready up if he saw there was a ridiculous stack... I heard he just gave up entirely until they fix it.
