clorgDang rip tf2pug.me
Can you add a feature like in #tf2mix where it guarantees fatkids to get picked eventually? Or possibly a high level feature where you must get invited to play? I've seen people go all day without ever being picked in pugs.
It's kinda dicky sounding but tf2pug.me was originally meant to be a pugna replacement where people didn't really care who got fat kidded or not and usually chose for the best teams possible. Afaik PugChamp is basically a spiritual replacement for pugme, whether or not they are trying to keep the pugna ideals in place is up to admins/devs.
The inviting idea is definitely cool, but idk if tf2 pugs have enough of a player base to support a "public" pug system and an invitation only pug system.
Now for a recommendation. I don't like the current substitution system too much and I know a couple others have expressed the same thing. The idea behind ELO matching to get a sub of equivalent skill level is cool, but hasn't worked out too well. The captain should be able to choose from the list of people who apply to be a sub in the game. No other pug system, in-house or automated, forces "random" substitutes.
