Why do games always feel stomps?

Overwatch was a sick practical joke by Blizzard to get Valve to ruin TF2's server browser with a terrible matchmaking system.

Usual reminder that the Love letter to Pyro is gone, a Scout main is in control of balance that despises Pyro, and the update will focus more on the Jungle theme while giving Soldier and Demoman more weapons and Pyro nerfs.

>>379687397
Because new valve system only rewards stacking and stomping, while providing NO tools to evade them. Scramble? Gone. Autobalance? Evil, but necessary one, since matchmaker can't fill leaver's places fast enough. Nope. Inviting friends to help you? Not on their watch. Only options are taking it like a bitch or leaving. It's actually funny how at first you couldn't even leave without a penalty, so it literally was forcing you to humiliate yourself for the sake of stompers.

>make an update to compete with Overwatch
>skip work on actual fun updates (Halloween etc) to work on it

Valve are fucking retarded.

Probably. Like the only times I have had stalemates are on the meme maps like 2fort, Turbine and Hightower.

Even then, 2fort maps can end in 2 mins due to scunts.

I can still play normal games just fine though. The only thing that actually hurts is the loss of spectate, autobalance, and teamscramble.

Why would anyone prefer matchmaking over a server browser with private servers?
Is it just a console thing, like console FPS games can't have private servers?

All the other major companies were doing it in pretty much every major FPS, so Valve mistakenly thought that's what the consumer wanted.

i remember reading years ago that they didn't have any kind of assignments and were doing pretty much what they felt like doing

>>379692809
They have very little management, but they do still have management. If someone in Valve's higher-ups decides something will get priority (ie Dota), then that's what gets priority, and people have to work on it.

Also rumor has it that their offices are very clique-y.

Now it works fine, you'll have a game in a matter of seconds and you don't have to requeue after every game. HOWEVER it still serves no purpose whatsoever, nobody asked for a casual matchmaking system and the server browser they removed was better, so what the fuck was the point of all of it?

Oh and competitive is awfully implemented and dead

The matchmaking system basically killed any private server that isn't gimmicky shit, and if someone leaves then there's no backfills or autobalance to make up for it so the teams become permanently lopsided. It hasn't made matches more balanced either, so it didn't do a single good thing for the game.
Any other complaints about the MyM update are probably about some of the really shitty balance changes that were made. You'd think an update about the pyro and heavy wouldn't completely ignore one and shit on the other when they're both in dire need of improvement, but Valve may as well be pulling balance changes out of a hat now.

>>379691997
No, you silly retard
TF2 matchmaking had been in the pot for years and indefinitely put on the back burner by the whole 3 people still actually working on the game
And then Overwatch came out with the competitive mode ready to go and those 3 lazy cunts went "AH FUCKSHIT WE NEED TO GET OUR MM OUT FAST" and rushed out the most craptastic matchmaking and ranked mode ever conceived.
>I-it got better?
It sure did. But that whole update was a testament to Valve's work ethic.
Why is it taking them a whole year to rebalance a single class? A class that didn't even need it.

It's a lot easier and cheaper to provide server clients to users than it is the have matchmaking. Not sure why you think it's a thing. First party matchmaking is objectively better.

No, you're getting mixed up. Valve COMPETITIVE matchmaking was in the pot since 2013.

Valve pub matchmaking was a kneejerk reaction, only made as a
response to other fpses doing it.
>Why is it taking them a whole year to rebalance a single class? A class that didn't even need it.
For a multitude of reasons.
1: Are you fucking retarded? Of course Pyro needs a rebalance. It's totally useless against good players, and ridiculously strong against bad players. It's the single biggest source of dissatisfaction in TF2.
2: TF Team has 16 people. Yes this is inexcusable.
3: TF2 has a massive spaghetti code with 10 years' worth of additions. It's not simple to make changes to it.
4: Pyro is the single most buggy, broken, unviable class in TF2 with the most restricting design. It's not simple to make changes to it.
5: The Pyro update isn't just Pyro. It's also the new jungle map, the Expiration Date-styled Valve SFM, new contracts system, new rebalances for multiple other weapons, tweaks to Competitive and Casual modes, and a bunch of cosmetic shit and 3 new Pyro weapons too.

Yeah I get why there would be competitive matchmaking to try and match up skill levels, but why is there casual matchmaking? Why would anyone bother having casual matchmaking in their game when private servers are a better option for casual play?
>It's a lot easier and cheaper to provide server clients to users than it is the have matchmaking.
This just makes it more baffling.

>>379694489
then tell me if first party competitive matchmaking leads to better games

why does nobody take valve comp seriously

>>379694531
That's also a neat tip.
I only ever used console to make some custom binds to become the most obnoxious battle engie anyone has ever seen.
'N' was quick sentry build (immediately brought up sentry deploy so all I would have to do is left click) and 'M' was quick sentry destroy.

>>379694591
Not him, but valve comp has no prizes, or any sort of reward for getting to the top other than a rank only barely visible in the mode, so people aren't incentivized to play it seriously.

However, I really enjoyed the Comp Matchmaking games I played

>>379694591
Are you honestly suggesting you get better games in pubs than MM? Fucking lmao
If you're talking about TF2 MM, it's because the ruleset is completely broken.

>>379694350
Heavy needed it more. FAR more. Who, might I remind you, was nerfed for no actual reason in the very same patch as the competition, further lowering his odds of getting it. At least Pyro even has a skill ceiling.
The only reason this should take this long is if they're having trouble getting a handle on the VAs. even then, almost a whole goddamn year.

>>379694785
Heavy needs something fun, but his role is defined and works well enough.
Pyro has so much broken he needs actually fixing.

>>379694885
I'm sure they'll """fix""" him just like they """fixed""" the bison

Why we are still waiting for pyro update?

Btw I prefer heavy

>>379694785
Heavy can get shit done in his niche, Pyro has no defined role and is regurgitated as airblast spam on ubers to kill himself or be a worse engineer if Spies harass yours. Ontop of that, Spy's changes and unlocks shit on Pyro so hard that it's a fucking joke for anyone to even claim Pyro counters him anymore. Afterburn is fucking useless, almost everyone has a way to counter it. Pyro's mobility is garbage, detonator jumps are pretty pathetic, hurt yourself a great deal, and Powerjack has an unnecessary penalty and retarded nerf slapped on it. Everyone except Medic outdps Pyro in his effective range, reflected projectiles hurt him for full damage instead of reduced like before, and Pyro's use of the Reserve Shooter is controversial. There's probably more shit I'm missing but I've said my share already.

should be by default, running backwards would fuck you up, or you just strafe or move forward.
I remember when that engie shotgun was like that. Shit was perfect, nice damage shooting a mob, everyone getting damaged, feeled so good.

My only problem with tf2 are the sniper lmaoboxers, you can wall hack with every other manner, wallhack, speedhack, what fucks the game is getting headshoted for every hit. Since valve cant detect cheaters, and the game is f2p,which means for every ban two new accounts are made, i suppose banning snipers or nerfing them could really help the game overall. I know its a shit solution, cuz people enjoy snipers. I dont see another option.

>>379702329
>did anyone like it
streamers liked it because it makes them more difficult to stalk; pubstomping team-stacks liked it because it allows them to party up very easily, and I like the fact that I can alt-tab out while the game searches for obscure game modes for me, in fact I'm doing it right now, though overall I disliked the update.
>can't they change it back
Of course they can, but they won't.
A company making a change and then reversing that change lowers public faith in that company. Makes them look indecisive and they lose face.

That's why there's only three examples of Valve reverting a balance change in the entire history of the game: Stickybomb Launcher nerf, Flamethrower damage variance, and Ullapool Caber buff.

>>379702329
>>379702673
But on the bright side, you can be assured that Matchmaking will at least improve. Valve say they're working on fixes for Casual and Competitive Matchmaking that will release with the Pyro Update.

Lose face by not reverting idiotic system and listen to people bitch about it and see how player count drops even faster, or lose face by making decision which will make some players come back and allow new players to get more comfortable with the game? Hell of a choice, I think I'd stay in the middle on that one, yep.

>core game mode
key word being CORE, you dim diode, aka "there are other game modes than these".
Payload Race, for example, is not considered "core" despite having 3 maps, including Hightower which is one of the most popular maps in the game
TF2 has 61 Casual maps in total.

>>379703394
Theres 3 payload race maps and the rest are gimmick maps that either no one plays like Hydro or maps that are fun for exactly one game like DeGroot Keep. Im not even counting Mannpower and Pass Time. "Only" 40 is a majority of maps so no wonder you are getting fast queues
I have 27 maps selected, it always takes me 5-15 minutes to find a game and its almost always the same 5 maps, usually Upward or Frontier. Nothing wrong with those maps but the 15th time gets a bit tedious. I havent played Granary in months even though I thought it was a popular map and CP maps in general are really rare even though I have every single one of them selected
Might a regional thing too

>>379703942
>blah blah blah
Point is, there are more maps in TF2 than just 46, you lying bastard
>I have 27
You have 1/3 of the maps in Casual, specifically cut out the top 10 most popular of those, and you wonder why you take a long time to find a game?

I mean come on anon. Nobody wants to play Fastlane.
>and CP maps in general are really rare
Yeah, they were before Meet your Match, too. If you want to play CP, you need to go to community competitive. That's where the entire 5CP playing demographic has gone.

Typing "open_charinfo" into the console while you are waiting for a game to load will allow you to play with your loadouts while staying in queue

>Still no new update even though we were promised Pyro weapons
I just want a new shotgun that has 6 shells in the clip

>>379694350
I think the big change they need to do is rework the Flamethrower algorithm, we all know how bullshit it is

>>379693459
The matchmaking system effectively killed off what little was left of community servers unless you want deathrun, trade/idle, and mario_kart

>>379704117
>Point is, there are more maps in TF2 than just 46, you lying bastard
Theres 46 (49 including PLR) maps that are worth counting
>You have 1/3 of the maps in Casual, specifically cut out the top 10 most popular of those, and you wonder why you take a long time to find a game?
Yes that was my point, im sick of playing the top 10 most popular maps for the umpeenth time and I dont want to spend an hour in the queue. Forced server specific map rotations please, at least as an option when queuing

>>379698537
Because then you would have fun.

>>379693639
I like how they have the Persuader on there as if to say that people actually use that shit still even after they nerfed the shit out of it

>>379695612
I really blame the console market for popularizing the one-button matchmaking shit, because now we have to deal with it too. You know Guns of Icarus Online? They had a server browser with community support but when the PS4 version rolled out they took that shit out of the PC version and left us with half-assed matchmaking. The newer GoIO also does that shit.

Did they drop Asteroid? I kind of liked it.

>>379704610
>that are worth counting
fuck off with your bullshit nigger, somehow Junction is worth counting and Probed isn't????

The Core-Alternative distinction means little, only a retard would dispute this
>Yes that was my point, im sick of playing the top 10 most popular maps for the umpeenth time and I dont want to spend an hour in the queue. Forced server specific map rotations please, at least as an option when queuing
And I'm telling you I cut out 9 of the top 10 most popular and I only get 10 second queues. You must be doing something wrong

>>379704953
according to them it's done and they're "waiting for the right time" to release it

Purchase badge updates when?

I've been playing TF2 for seven fucking years now, more than half of its lifespan, and I feel I deserve a Soldier of Fortune medal at very least.

>>379705669

>Purchase badge updates when?

hopefully never

the primeval warrior badge is the only noteworthy thing on my account

post a photo of your hand holding a timestamp over your loadout screen showing the badge, or it didn't happen

>>379705086
Probed is fucking awful as a game mode, Junction is awful as a map
>And I'm telling you I cut out 9 of the top 10 most popular and I only get 10 second queues.
Well what kind of maps do you get? Also how many compatible players do you usually get in queue because I dont think I have ever seen more than 200 at a time, over 100 is pretty rare too with my options

>>379706201
I get stuff like Borneo, Mountain Lab, Egypt, Sunshine, Process, Viaduct, Snowplow, Powerhouse, Vanguard, Steel, Highpass, Thunder Mountain, Kong King, Swiftwater, and Upward

the compatible players number is literally broken

>>379706201
oh and Metalworks comes up often too

>>379706503
what the fuck, I have 13/15 of those selected and I have only played a complete round of Borneo, Upward, Thunder Mountain and Swiftwater
ive been to Vanguard and Metalworks a couple of times too but theres never more than 10 players in total
over 150 matches in total too so im really starting to believe its a regional thing

Weak ass shit
That should have come out like 5 years beforehand, not when the game was closing in on 9 years old

im this anon >>379693459

dont have tf2 installed atm so you just have to take my word for it

>>379695051
No one is waiting for the Pyro update, they have like 10 people 'working' on it

It's better to just assume it's never coming, and fuck the jungle map too

>>379687532
What was wrong with the server browser? Even fucking EA uses it in Battlefield, why is being able to jump into any game fast so fucking taboo now? When did waiting 5 minutes to get into a match considered okay?
