avaiihnDamn, I liked the look of bad graphics TF2, though I guess I'm probably in the minority.
It's a sacrifice for the greater good. I just hope they add some much-requested features to the advanced options menu, like transparent viewmodels. I'm fairly certain r_drawviewmodels is already in the Advanced Options menu, too, so that's good.
avaiihnAlso, the Casual MM is BIG. I've had several friends quit tf2 early on bc they get wrecked by pub stompers all day and they get frustrated by it. Matching newbies with other newbies will make the beginning experience much less frustrating
Hate on it if you will, this is one of the best features of Overwatch. Even the casual quickplay mode still ranks players based on skill and incites some form of a competitive environment, even if it isn't taken as seriously as the actual competitive mode (although of course right now competitive is a joke).
This touches upon something I posted a little while ago regarding Overwatch:
yttriumI don't care if I'm downfragged. You guys really need to man up if you're so scared about someone in your own community putting his heart into something you personally don't like. It doesn't fucking matter if you like it or not, experimentation and competition is what makes this community evolve. Lessons learned from other games can always be applied here.
Valve has been watching and is going to innovate. Good on them.
