Don't worry, they might add placement matches for competitive.

>Reddit is probably the worst source for feedback

gee, as if there's another source that's giving good, detailed feedback that the TF2 team can use

hell, I'm pretty sure if some invite teams were rounded up and asked to test a valve beta map they'd gladly do it. There'd be more time for the team to fix bugs and whatnot

I don't doubt they play pubs all the time. Wonder whether they've ever played competitive though.

Yes, we are clearly just lying to make valve look good. That makes sense.

it was a joke. i'm sure they play the game a decent amount but as an above commentor noted their record on competitive balancing/matchmaking stuff/general stuff is kinda lacking

>Jill doesn't understand the appeal of being friendly in-game

That's great because I don't understand either.

no only engineer mains

b4nny just kind of showed up, he wasn't invited

the months you haven't heard anything have been the months we sent an unknown engineer main.

as for why we've heard from two recently, well, there aren't that many of them and we accidentally sent two popular ones. our bad.

Oh valve

I'm gonna clip a bunch of interesting topics.

They want to implement placement matches and other ideas from CSGO MM

They might check out Rewind LAN VODs, Jill watched some of it.

Explanatory video from Dane coming soon

isnt it funny that Valve is one of the world's top tech companies but we need to send a messenger to get ANY info like some sort of ancient civilization ?

I hear they're going to start working on support for smoke signals after the pyro rework.

This..
They take so long to release and update and whenever somebody visits Valve they tell him shit like this.
Then you look at the Overwatch dev team and they regularly do things like this

I can't believe they're uncertain about placement matches.

It boggles the mind that they don't realise that lack of placement matches and a rating system that's actually taken into account by the matchmaker are the biggest barriers preventing the system from succeeding. It should be one of their priorities, if they actually care about it doing well.

e- okay then, hope it comes at least fairly soon :-)

I think I should have phrased it better and I will edit, but it seems they are working on placement matches and other features about MM, and the only reason it wouldn't come out if there was something inherently broken with the way they want to implement it.

big if true

why can't they just take CSGO MM
and push it into TF2

holyshit i thought that's just a joke

1. Remove stupid restrictions and let people play the game like they used to for years.
2. Add placement matches.
3. Change default net settings.

That's all it takes and you have equal fighting ground with functional mm system. I can't understand how they don't see it.

Oh, it's turning into *this* thread again

might aswell just lock it already

oh shit if they remove random crits they might have to actually balance some weapons instead of just slapping a - No Random Crits stipulation on it

>To bridge the gap between comp and casual is a priority
I almost smiled and then remembered this is valve.

lmao why is it always shitty pubbers/youtubers that get to meet with the valve team. no wonder this game is dying.

probably because Valve cares about the pubbers. don't they make up the majority of tf2 players anyway?

tbf dane is quite sound. theres def worse people in the 'tf2 youtuber' crowd
