Have you even played any of the other games that are considered "eSports" today? Absolutely everybody in dota pubs, league normals, and csgo community gives a shit about their rank. All those games with ranking systems that require you to learn and practice the correct way to play them, people take interest in. I don't know a single person that doesn't play dota, league, or csgo that doesn't also play ranked and doesn't at the very least try to gain rank. "They don't want confusing". Only complete noobs (to the entire game, not just comp) would be confused after having already played 9v9 matchmaking or whatever default match making they impliment first. The type of people that ask why people aren't buying novas or why Master Yi isn't being picked are the type of people that "don't want confusing".

I would like to let myself believe at least a little bit that it could also be because csgo and dota have taken off perhaps they have more time to explore the possibilities of creating another esport?

I'm not 100% on this but from what I understand the most important thing if you're trying to rank up in CS:GO is whether you win or not. Topfragging and getting the most MVPs helps, but winning is the most important. If it works silimarly to that, it might discourage demos and pockets baiting their teams and eating spam all day in choke points

I want to keep the other leagues around too because I can't help but fear that it will not be the competitive tf2 that we know and love. I'm scared there will either be no 6v6 or it will be sprinkled with bullshit like phlog pyros to mid or whatever horrors like that

i still want to believe

but then how else am i going to get good

it would make sense to make it have some sort of cost to prevent lmaobox idiots running rampant in comp matches, and I don't think valve would possibly think it'd be a good idea to do it like MvM with a ticket per match or whatever, that would be unreasonable

are there any plans to differentiate ranks depending on which class you queue as? this game is much different from say csgo in that you can do well as one class and just be complete garbage at another due to the different weapon mechanics.

i really hope we can queue for specific classes regardless; I don't want medic to be like support in league and have no one want to play it ever

I'm scared and excited at the same time, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to make it till this Fully Charged episode on friday man, I'm freakin out

yeah i'm really happy our guys never gave up, it warms my heart to see people do something about what they're passionate about

I agree with this. I've been talking to all my friends from school that do/have played the game casually and they're all hyped to try out MM with me. They've always said they wanted to play comp tf2 just for fun or to try it, but it's pretty hard to actually play and get a taste of what comp is really like if you don't have a team

I thought TF2 hit its peak unique users since 2012 a few months ago or something
