The system tries to match with the same amount of parties on both teams. So it you are 4 man parity, the other team should have 4 man party.

yeah no this system is definitely not fixed

Don't confuse low player base for matchmaking glitches.

i just played a turbine match against two heavies getting mega pocketed please let this hell end

The game is crashing because changing all the graphic settings to the mm settings at once is too much for your game to handle. Use this override in your autoexec/custom. Also change your DX level to 9 if you haven't.

You shouldn't complain about friendlies, because if the ranking system actually works you should say goodbye to them after 10 matches. If you don't goodbye after 10 matches, complain about the ranking system. I also don't think that aimbots will be a big problem in the future, since competitive costs money (even if just 0.5$) and requires you to have a phone. Also, viewmodel_fov shouldn't be set 90 by default just because you got used to it, because some viewmodels are bugged at this point (original, for example). It should probably be set to 70, instead of the awful 54 TF2 currently has. Except that, I think all the complains in this thread should be noted.

"throwing matches is ok because those players will rank down guys!!!"

also your argument about viewmodels is wrong, the original doesn't even bug out at 90 (nor do most viewmodels)

The problem is that 70 is the CAP. I don't understand why they wouldn't allow us to use the settings we want, what does it matter if the viewmodel is bugged, or if you disable viewmodels? There is no constructive argument about why any of the settings are enforced on players, and if they don't stop doing it or improve the mess of a code tf2 is, nobody will enjoy playing this, given that it's pubs reduced to 6s.

Why would it bother you that some people that "play" comp, that you or any player who actually plays shouldn't even ever meet after 10 matches, don't actually play? I would see 2 possible arguments:
1. They make the ranks less diverse, since they catch the lowest ranks. My opinion: 10-12 ranks are enough, and more than what most/all competitive 3rd side parties have.
2. Players, especially bad players might get placed in a match with them. My opinion: again, a problem of the matchmaking.
About the viewmodel fov: maybe bugged wasn't the best choice for a word, but you can often see the end of your arm at viewmodel_fov 90, especially with melee or while reloading. I play with viewmodel_fov 87 and don't really notice these unless they really stand out , and I didn't want to boot the game only to check, but of the top of my head I knew the original had the distracting left arm with high viewmodel fov, so I wrote it as an example. Until the TF2 team fixes this (if they will), the default shouldn't be 90, and I think 70 is totally fine as long as players know they can set it higher (which they don't, but if Valve will make the default higher than 70 they will also make the slider go higher than 70). If we want Valve to make a new default, we should listen to ALL TF2 players, not just TF.TV's.

Oh yeah, I forgot that it was locked. Yes, they should definitely unlock it, but not make the default 90, like the OP suggested.

do you think people actually get vac banned with paid cheats more than once a year lol
also you can just use a temporary phone number to get authentication then not even require a phone to login
cheating will always be a problem in mm unfortunately

No, its working as intended. You don't want to match 6s party with 6 solo players. Same is with Dota 2. 5v5, and it always match you 3+2v3+2 or 5v5 parties or just all 10 players solo in ranked.

Went 10-3 in placements and got death merchant. Queue times were hit or miss. Sometimes ~5 min other times 30+. I hope they plan to implement map preferences like in csgo. No desire to play turbine/payload ever again

i wish i could get some of these mythical 5 minute times u speak of

dont worry youre not missing much. i got loaded into a game with 3 people saying its their first mm game ever against a team thats forward holding on viaduct.

the only humans ive played with on my teams are friends i sometimes q up with and i think i was in a game with u. believe me id rather just get my 10 wins over with and not play this again until rankings are sorted out and settings are unlocked

ROFL

The fucking bots follow the 6s meta why can’t we have proper class limits

i got in a match after only 4 seconds

Anyone else having a massive cheater problem? It seems that every cheater got death merchant so I'm more likely to be placed with them in every match now that I've finished placements. Even *in* placements I played 4 games with cheaters, 3 of them against me.

just a PSA to anyone trying to queue, removing your ping limit which does apparently apply to casual AND competitive helps queue times by A LOT. It has brought down hour queue times to less than 10 minutes for a 3 man queue.

I wish we could at least cap our fps in comp MM(or is that working for everyone else?). Honestly, they should've added a fps cap setting in the Settings by now, just like plenty of other settings that we want to use in comp MM.

does this result in most games being 100+ ping games or does the ping limit just fuck with the queue system

went 10-5 got expert assassin 3 1843 mmr :)

I'm solo queued with no ping limits and have been sitting here for half an hour with nothing to show for it.

still waiting. im not even ranked yet...

jesus christ its been an hour. fuck this lol

Would it be possible to have a a weapon lockout system?

Say, theoretically everyone who plays comp is given every weapon (only during comp) so they can fairly change loadouts, what say if you have one medigun then all latter medical must use a separate gun? The downside to this is that weapons with <6 items in the slot would NEED this to be lifted. This would also arbitrarily fuck with stuff like double scattergun/RL's, which is counter Intuitive. But if valve is so deadset on avoiding class limits, maybe there is something tangible in there. Maybe have it only apply to specific things like mediguns.

Yeah Funke I don't think that's the way of going about things

I just run into this video and this guy explains it the Competitive in 30 seconds (Ignore the clickbait title)
