MuselkAnd I mean, you gotta ask yourself, what's the cause of these problems, because bad updates, poor balancing decisions, it's not just isolated in the Meet Your Match update, this has been happening for years, and in my opinion, and the opinion of I think most people, it really comes down to communication. Outside the fact that Valve don't really seem to understand the game that they're messing with, Valve's only communication with the TF2 community seems to focus entirely on competitive players. People like b4nny, eXtine, SLIN, are, aside from the few SFM artists, the few people that have been given real personal 1 on 1 meetings with the TF2 team. Now don't get me wrong, these guys are legends of the TF2 community. I look up to a lot of them. A lot of these guys are the reason I play the game today, and they understand TF2 better than I, and 99% of TF2 players, ever will. But there's a problem. The way that they see TF2 is just not the way that the vast majority of TF2 players see the game. Right now, Valve's only real insight into the TF2 community comes from a competitive perspective, and the reality is that this is only an absolutely miniscule portion of the TF2 playerbase. Changes like removing Valve servers, buffing the phlogistinator, nerfing the Bison, and claiming that it being able to penetrate enemies was a glitch, even though it's been on the tip screen for like eight years now, these are all things that show Valve understands absolutely nothing about their game or the wants of the vast majority that play it.
you heard him right, the Bison, Phlog, and Valve server removal are all our fault because the TF2 team listens to us too much! we should back off guys.
