Valve killed their own game, holy shit. Time for Overwatch
what is it about overwatch that makes other games nervous and shit all over themselves?
>>344352291
It's good and polished.

being this scared that overwatch is ripped
>>344351341
my problem is it's connecting me to matches I get shit connection with so i can't play, then I leave and get punished?
Fuck you Valve. This is the final nail in the coffin for real
>>344352291
1 - It's the result of 9 years of hard work/effort from the GOOD blizzard staff's work on titan
2 - It's Blizzard. Blizzard went down hill because sometime inbetween starting after vanilla they started siphoning the actual talent into titan
3 - Ultimates mean even a shitter can make a huge contribution just plicking at enemies without killing them
4 - 10~ minute matches mean it can be played at any time unlike the other major multiplayer games
Valve killed TF2 back in 2010, this is just raping the corpse.
Least they didn't touch the vaccinator
>>344351341
>>MM is basically a glorified pub
Exactly like in Overwatch you faggot
everyone posting in this thread is either retarded, or more likely an overwatch shill
its kind of sad that a shill wouldn't realize that any publicity is good publicity
valve made a blog post a long time ago mentioning ever single problem you've listed, and their intent to fix it quickly

Thank you Blizzard
why are niggers so cut up about abandonment penalties in casuals, fucking set aside like half an hour for a full game you cheeky nerds.
>>344351341
Welp, time to get back into Mann Up in MvM.
>>344355150
They're removing that.
They're backtracking alot of shit but still want to keep pubs dead.
What's the point of this? Is it harder to find groups of people to PUG with than it used to be? People still bother with regular matchmaking?
>>344355840
What survey?
>>344351341
>uses an XP bar, not ranks
WHAT? What is the fucking point of competitive mode then?
>>344356636
He's not talking about comp, he's talking about casual which despite being 23 people and doesn't really count still has the same matchmaking as the actual comp for some dumb reason.
>yesterday tfags actually thought tf2 was saved
>>344356518
There was a thread about it recently. Basically a dude who stopped playing got asked why and was really just
>Did you stop playing League because of Overwatch?
>>344357079
I really had the feeling Overwatch and LoL had an overlap in terms of community when I managed to play OW post launch.
Not a Blizzard fan, but if it helps get LoL to its death, I'm all for it.
>>344356067
Of course they do. This was obviously going to happen. The question is what retarded lemmings do they have working on this that thought any of this was a good idea in the first place? What the fuck? It's like they don't even know anything about their own fucking game ffs
>pic related: a valve employee improving TF2
>>344357065
Me included. My mistake. I'm off to buy Overwatch now. Fuck this gay earth.
Casual here. Haven't played TF2 in a couple years, maybe like 20 hours overall.
Can I not just load the game, pick a mode and play anymore?
I thought TF2 was a casual FPS?
I doubt it takes more skill than games like CS, CoD, Overwatch, or even Battlefield.
>>344357489
>my friends who only plays LoL just started playing overwatch with me instead
Its pretty nice to play with someone
>>344357681
the update does EXACTLY that, only you currently pick 2 modes but in the next update you can pick a single mode and further down the line specify what map(s) you would like to play
TF2 with more skilled opponents is whats happening
>>344357556
>holding it that close to the tip
does she want to burn her fucking fingers
>>344358275
Dumb broads need to learn things the hard way.
>>344358250
>Matchmaking is also changing the way TF2 can be played casually. Now, instead of jumping randomly into an in-progress game, you'll be matched into an unranked 12v12 game with players of similar skill. This means no more auto-balancing—you'll be playing a match from start to finish, with actual winners and actual losers.
I don't like the way this sounds.
>>344357489
Yeah, it doesn't even matter if it's a completely different genre.
>easy to pick up
>"I want to play with my friends"
>really short game time
Pretty fun casual game with toptierporn
>>344357956
It is casual but now that Overwatch released, a more casual game in the same genre, people take it a bit more serious, at least here.
>>344358467
its better than it sounds, half your team wont quit as you are about to lose
also people seem to balance team composition decently for most part now, in short you dont get 4 snipers and 2 spies like always
>tfw Pyro will ultimately lose to Heavy shitters
Nobody likes Pyro, which unfortunately needs a revamp or overhaul while Heavy needs minor tweaks at best. Fuck Valve for not doing both instead
>>344358756
>you dont get 4 snipers and 2 spies like always
Now you get try-hard soldier-medic pre-mades
>>344358756
>its better than it sounds, half your team wont quit as you are about to lose
I don't know. This never bothered me.
>also people seem to balance team composition decently for most part now, in short you dont get 4 snipers and 2 spies like always
This never happened to me before, but I can see how it would be annoying. Also sounds like some faggot would get mad at me for changing classes just because I wasn't sure how I might do at the start of the match. Sometimes I get lots of kills as heavy. Other times I need to change to Engineer and babysit a turret. I'm a scrub.
>>344351341
>Time for Overwatch
How about neither because both games are run by shit developers?
>>344358970
>try-hard
>pre-made
im not even going to tell you to shut up.
>>344358994
>turret
sentry.
look just play the game and see how it works, you can either sit here watching the thread pile up OR play the game and see how it matters
besides nobody will blame you for picking a class you think is needed, as long you are not THAT GUY picking the 3th sniper or 3rd spy you should be good.

Yeah, nah.
That was literally the worst match of anything I have ever played
>>344359452
>im not even going to tell you to shut up.
You probably 'main' soldier*cough*easiest class in the game* with some unusual effect soldier hat and strange killstreak blackbox+conch+escape plan that you farmed idle servers to get hales own
So Overwatch is essentially TF3, right?
>>344361065
>assumptions
nice going there only i play solly when needed, which is to say often
unfortunately for you i prefer medic, so you are not just wrong but also stupid
this will my last reply to your stupid shit

NO MORE PENALTIES
>>344359452
I'd play if it would fucking match me. I've haven't been able to play since this abortion of an update dropped.
>That new blogpost
And all was right in the world
>>344361464
>I-I play solly when needed

I can smell your strange stock rocket launcher and budget unusual effect from here lmao
>>344356067

>pubs dead
Thats not how it works anon
>You need to PAY AGAIN or give your fucking phone number in order to access tf2 competitive mode
>>344361981
Let's get this straight here. He's probably one of those sollies with that electric-skin rocket launcher and the exqusite rack, like every other tryhard soldier.
>>344362024
>round ends
>sent back to the main menu
>tfw no more playing in the same valve server for hours with the same strangers
>no more of those strangers turning into friends who you play with again
>now you're stuck going to shitty community servers with squeaker admins, ads, and literal pay to win perks
You just don't understand.
>>344362590
Wait
You go back to the main menu after a matchmade game? Are you fucking kidding me? Goddammit Valve, you fix this shit, but leave nonsense like this?
>>344351341
>Can't connect to your own servers anymore
While I agree its bullshit they removed it from the main menu, you can still make your own server with the console same as always.
OY
>>344352291
The amount of porn made for a game/IP is a good indicator how successful it is or going to be.
>>344362935
If she fixed her nose to not look so pigish, she'd make an absolutely adorable wife.
>>344362863
Of course you do. You're gonna spend more time in a fucking queue than playing the god damned game.
All I wanna do when I come home fron work is drop into a pub and play, not wait 20+ minutes to find 23 other people who want to play badwater basin for 10 minutes.
>>344362935
today's typical PC fag, like the kind that laughs at consoles, likely doesn't even know how to use the console
>can't edit my loadouts while waiting for a game
Overwatch spoiled me
>>344363234
I feel you man. But at least we will eventually get to pick the map and gamemode specifically. So we just have to wait a couple of updates. But fuck valve for removing quickplay, i hate community servers for the reasons you listed
>>344362935
>>344351341
Wait, wait, fucking wait.
You're not talking about community servers are you? Like, dm_mariokart?
>>344351341
Haha the update we needed! OVERWATCHFAGS BTFO amirite boys? xdd
>>344363842
Look at the youtube comments in meet your match. Holy lmao
>>344351341
Everything you just named is the fault of the pc, you can never have a true competitive match where cheating or hacking or mods are rampant or even apparent
>>344351341
Luckily they just now removed the penalty for leaving casuals and made it so you only have to select one game mode. There's your quickplay back you brainless babies.
>in a rushed effort to stay competitive against overwatch valve fucking killed TF2
Fucking poetry.
You cannot make this shit up.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS QUEUEING FOR CASUAL MODE SHIT?
I THOUGHT THEYRE JUST ADDING COMPETITIVE NOT ADDING THIS HUNKA SHIT OF A SERVER SLECTION GIVING ME HIGH FUCKING PING SERVERS
BRING BACK THE OLD VALVE SERVERS YOU DENSE FUCKS AT VALVES I HOPE ONE OF YOU GODDAMN IDIOTS ARE HERE
>>344364707
>tfw people will never feel the joy of hatless TF2 back in the orange box days
I aint even mad, I have already won.
>>344365078
It was still the same game for years. Even with hats.
what is the point of casual mode when TF2 was already as casual as it gets? By adding queue times, player limits and abandonment punishments doesnt that make it... well less casual?
>>344365198
It's a bit more bullshit with the random ass weapons and all that crap, just wish they added vanilla to the competetive section and it would be all fine and dandy.
>>344365419
The vanilla weapons are still good.
>>344362105
You don't have a phone number? Are you 10 or something?
>>344365819
oh right theres absolutely no reason anyone would ever not want to share their phone number
so, whats your number
>b-b-but i trust steam to not use my number maliciously
because nobodys ever hacked valve. ever. never ever. never happened.
>>344363842
Is that vanilla? Why is she wearing literally nothing but skimpy panties and armor?
