Because the better game gets stale after a long period of no updates, while OW gets semi-frequent updates and content patches so it constantly stays fresh. Plus OW is more fun to play with friends than TF2 is, imo.

I've been playing Overwatch recently.
It's a ton of fun, guys. Having a million classes isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was. Plus there's no real Spy equivalent so I can play pseudo Heavy (Orisa) without worry of backstabs, plus OW's equivalent to Soldier isn't nearly as strong as an actual Soldier, so I don't need to worry about some pubstomper Black Box soldier single handedly winning a game. Plus loads of characters have a self heal, meaning you aren't forced to run Medic to win.
I didn't realize how many aspects of TF2 I didn't really enjoy, but got used to putting up with until now.

Game is oversaturated as shit. Too many cosmetics that shit up the aesthetic and weapons with ridiculously long names. Played alot in 2010. I loved the "4chan" maps made by Xenon

it's on life support now. Only the traders and botters keep it in such high numbers. Once valve finds a way to suck the last dime out of it or the economy of tf2 is disrupted (for example, trade in TF2 items for dota artifact items/currency) TF2 will experience the mass exodus.

Not him, but I play Overwatch over TF2, I just don't play Overwatch as much as I used to play TF2. It was so easy to just unwind and binge about 6+ hours of TF2 in one sitting, Overwatch just isn't that kind of game. I moved on to singleplayer games and niche japanese titles that I missed out on during my time with TF2 instead.
>>
>>388382996
You see there's nothing wrong with OW being a casual game.
The problem comes in when it also has a hard counter system, shallow character gameplay, shit character personalities, and meta faggots who will shit themselves if you don't follow said meta. I mean if your team have a good idea of what their doing then you'll rarely ever get pubstomped and if you do get put on a team of idiots you can just change server or proceed to carry them in TF2. You can't do that in OW because of the aforementioned problems which is why many people see OW has a shittier version of TF2, you can't carry because of the hard counter system and how piss easy every character is to play. Some of them don't even need to aim their actual abilities. Individual skill hardly factors in this game unless you're so useless you shot your ultimate in the opposite direction.

Veteran pc fag who came from xbox fag here

After the news broke on HL3, I picked up The Orange Box for 360 to relive how I originally played them. Been messing around on vanilla TF2, and it's so fun. Plenty of active games, and the server browser is simple but much more efficient than the whole "drop you in to whatever game" system. It's nice to be able to choose my map and player count.
And the maps feel big again! It's fantastic. A few of us were in the courtyard on 2fort and when an enemy Heavy and Medic started pusing in, I hit behind the inside wall of the big staircase. What I'm trying to say is the pacing feels good. Will probably stream later tonight.

If it's been stuck at 50k for years then you've proven that people didn't leave it for Overwatch permanently. TF2 is slowly dying but your casual happy fun time shit isn't what's killing it.
>>
>>388385550
>i guess that's why it's been stuck at 50k for a few years now, because everyone went back to it
And you're trying to say that like it's a bad thing? Are you a fucking idiot? If people go back to something then that obviously means that it's good enough to go back too even though it's almost ten years old by now.

Or if you're saying that as some form of sarcasm, nigga 50k has kept it at the top of fucking steam charts for a long time now. Hell it's still in the top 10 today despite it's age.

you don't speak for anyone except yourself

ever since i started playing overwatch i realized how retarded the whole valve system is.

you join a sever, you sit there and listen to the same people for however long you decide to stay there, then you either quit out of the program or find a different server to do the exact same thing. it's boring shit.

at least with overwatch i'm cycling through games and meeting different people.

How are these two different from eachother though, switching servers is instant and completely under your control depending on what gamemode you want to play or map, matchmaking is delayed and out of your control.

even back when tf2 was relatively new, the idea of a comp scene was a joke. it has always been a joke. and anyone who participates it it and comes out of it thinking they're something more than they are is also a joke.

with overwatch i don't have to lift a finger. the game automatically puts me in a new game when the other is finished.

I just threw it in because I liked the game that much. I'm not better than anyone else who loves TF2. I play plenty of both modes.
>>
>>388386329
That doesn't make sense though. If there were 50k players before Overwatch came out, and there are still 50k players now, then either everyone who left it for Overwatch came back or enough new people started playing that it didn't matter.

Overwatch had, by your numbers, literally no negative impact on TF2, despite it obviously being targeted at the same audience and being talked up as 'the TF2 killer'.

Wow dude you sure showed us.

HOLY SHIT YES

this is actually a good thing because valve updates can fuck over a weapon for like a year until the next update.

and if that update doesn't fix the weapon then its two years until its fixed.

I'm not even saying that weapons will be fixed every short update but at least they'll be informed after the first update that doesn't fix it.

honestly I'm being honest here, I really don't want the update because the proposed fixes or changes are horrendous and will ruin a lot of weapons and buff very little.

The yer change could seriously just be "you require full cloak to disguise" and that would be enough.

it needed a fucking buff, and that change is essentially an option that fucks you over but also gives you a foothold you can seize in the right situation.

Like you're asking the spy for something he never has unless hes far back line and sitting on an ammo kit. and then you basically cut his cloak time in half for him to disguise once.

that's a huge fucking trade off for something thats BARELY worth cloak meter.

oh and disguises are removed by resupply cabinets.

god Yer isn't even worth that much work in the first place.

you don't get to count all platforms at the same time; the entire reason playerbase size matters is whether or not you can find a game.

There were 3 nails in TF2's coffin.
The first was the item economy crashing, and never recovering.
The second was Gun Metal update. The skins were a last ditch attempt to revive the economy, instead it just made everything have a douchy texture slapped onto it.
The third was the competitive update, which ended up destroying the "hop online and play with the same batch of 10 - 20 strangers that become friendos over the course of the night" and basically got rid of any reason to play casually, and added like a 5 minute wait time in between matches.

>>388394576
Just play him anyway. In pubs one good spy can make up for all the others. I remember being the 6th spy, team complained, I backcapped the point and everyone was in an uproar. Happens a lot. I can guarantee though it's a lot more difficult to pull off if your intent is discovered before you can pull off a game-winning cap. Besides you won't get any better if you don't practice. If you aren't braindead, you can carry. If the enemy team knows how to teamwork though you might be beat regardless if you are playing spy or not. Said backcap shenanigans only occur if you have the first point (ready to be) capped and the enemy has no defense on last.
The only times you should rethink playing spy are:
>when there are five (million) pyros on the enemy team spraying their flamethrowers (erratically or otherwise)
>a homewrecker pyro is sucking an engineer's dick and refuses to leave, will taunt your corpse every time
>any teammate sucking an engineer's dick, homewrecker pyro just happens more and is harder to crack into
>Sentry cross-fire defense that requires one or two local pubstomping medic+demo pairs to overthrow
The worst other spies will do is fuel the opposing team's paranoia, but if the spies are shit they won't expect one good (read: lucky) spy to show up among the flock of retards. If you die that just means you're blending in with the retards. In a way, playing spy is literally playing 4chan.
>>
>>388396273
>all the veterans from previous games who will no doubt show up and stomp everyone else into the dirt.
This is what kept me from getting into all the arena shooters I've tried, I'm sad to admit. I'm fine with getting my teeth kicked in at a video game by gods sometimes but when it feels like the only people that still play the game are gods and you can't ever get a game with people at a similar skill level it's very discouraging.

I am in a limbo of mediocrity I can't escape from.
I am good enough to top score but I'm not good enough to carry the team to victory alone.
And more often than ever, I find myself facing teams of multiple competent players, while my team is usually the classic team of afks, friendlies and new players.
I do my best, I really do, but I rarely win. I don't kid when I say that in the last three times I played tf2 I didn't win a single time.
Sure, I'm not very bad like a f2p and I'm also not Gregor-tier of good but I can say I am an ok player. And yet, it's never enough.
It's getting rough trying to keep playing. Not only I don't win anymore but I also feel I am not improving at all, because playing with my subpar team doesn't allow me to improve.
Sorry for the blogpost but, man, everything I wrote mixed with the complete lack of Pyro update is getting on my nerves.

Everyone who has played a decent amount, feels like this. It just happens to be that if you're in a pub, don't take it as serious as a comp match. Really, a lot of them are just a bunch of kids. Not saying you should move out of QP but more often than not, you're going to have a bad time without coordinating immediately with someone else on the team that wants to win as much as you.

The pyro update should be around the corner, it's there. I know that by now and I can't wait to shit on it as much as don't wish to but boy is it coming.

>>388403982
The success of one these games often drives to make more of them by a bunch of other devs in a rapid rate thinking, that they too will have the same sort of success with another gimmick slapped on top of the established game that was successful in the first place. Most of these cases happens to be a clutter of bad games that go nowhere as far as its predecessor.

In short, "bad" game gets successful = More bad games come out for some part of success.

And on the other side you have comp, where everyone plays too seriously.

Go back to plebbit. Things where a million times better before modern matchmaking systems crawled out of satan's buthole.

No. Be quiet, cunt.
Matchmaking now is TERRIBLE but it will never be worse than the system we had before. These aren't the nineties anymore. Looking for servers in an archaic menu doesn't work anymore. ALL new games have matchmaking. And it's the only way to put together players with the same skill level and making things like pubstomping stop.
And while the current matchmaking is very bad, it can still improve by using some mathematical complex system. The old system can't be fixed or improved instead. It's busted. It scares players away, new and also old ones.

It won't die soon but it is sad too see that it is hard to find a decent community server for normal matches.

Casual matchmaking is fucking trash and it is the only thing i wish they would fix besides making changes to pyro and heavy.

I Hope the new map is nice and that the next updates are handled by the community, Valve really don't care much about tf2 anymore so just let people who give a fuck handle things.

Doom is held by the community, not really the original devs. Melee as well I think never cared for it so not sure
TF2 is still held by Valve and still active. For a multiplayer game to last 10 years when others can't hold up a couple of months is impressive. But what else could they do? Add more? Only correct bugs and balance?

That is like the only sparkle of sense in your whole post. MyM did an extremely shitty job (sure I love repeating myself for three times in a row) and Valve must fix this problem with community servers.
That doesn't mean matchmaking must go away and not improve, you stupid piece of shit. I don't want, NOBODY wants, the old system to find a match to come back.
Matchmaking is currently shit (4th time the charm) but it needs to improve. And Valve must bring back visibility to community servers.

That's exactly why matchmaking needs to improve, holy mother of Christ. Matches need to put people of the same skill level on the same servers, I'm SICK of playing against and/or with teams of total retards, matchmaking is created exactly for that reason, not to destroy your idealistic status quo of my ass.
>Blindly and obliviously following AAA trends is not and never will be an improvement.
How the fuck is matchmaking a trend. Matchmaking is a system to gather players together, not a trend. I know you are blinded by the stupid shit and other buzzwords you read around but matchmaking, the idea behind it, exists since before tf2 even existed to begin with. What in the actual fuck.

Personally I wouldn't mind their formulaic development if they managed to actually give each character a personality. Bastion and Sombra both cater to a very specific audience but manage to maintain an identity beyond that. D.Va and Tracer by contrast are lifeless waifubait. Then as you said you've got shit like diversity quota pooloo. It's a very jarring transition between design philosophies and it makes me wonder what Blizzard's internal design structure is like.

As someone who enjoyed being a pain in the ass Engineer in TF2, trying out the blizzards dwarf left me so unsatisfied both from area denial and utility.

The only advantage he has with his auto fire cannon is that they can sort of turn on the terrain if you say put them on the stairs. Other than that, his level 2 doesn't even compete to the fucking level ONE of Engi's sentry, teleporters are a thing to that pajeet woman and dispensers which people could run to are replaced with "armour packs" that people just avoid. Torb is about as much of a problem as a fly, he'll inconvenience and pest you at best compared to Engineer who is like a whole hive of hornets in comparison.

Picking a server from a large list of options takes seconds, while matchmaking systems spend minutes juggling players around until it fills a server. Furthermore just because you think the new system is better doesn't mean that everyone else does. Pretending that EVERYONE agrees with you is retarded and arrogant.

You are an idiot. TF2 is a 12v12 game in which every class is usable. In a 6v6 comp setting every class is still used, albeit not in every situation.
In Overwatch there exist unusable heroes with literally 0% pickrates that you will be reported and banned for picking, even in non-comp games. The game is basically a moba, and not the good kind like Dota.

This.

I honestly believe the 6v6 format doesn't have a place in TF2, it is just not what the game was designed for and balancing the entire game around 6v6 is a pretty stupid idea, i really hope valve doesn't try to do that.


>>388423806
I'll just assume you never played TF2.

Basically we had a Heavy vs Pyro update where the winner would get a update based on them first so the character could be revamped/redesigned. Heavy and Pyro are the shittiest classes in the game because the other classes do their job better ans faster.

We don't know what the update will be like but we know that it will contain the following.

>Balance changes to a lot of weapons
>A new jungle map
>New crates, contracts and changes to the changes of items being dropped
>Changes to ranked and casual matchmaking.

First of all, let me congratulate with you for not answering to all the points when I did with yours and choosing only the ones that can save your asshole face spouting stupid shit.
>In fewer and fewer games. There is an active industry wide effort to phase them out. You're blind if you don't see that.
You said "killing off". And yet they are still there. Alive. Few, sure, but alive.
And bring me some tangible fact that shows how they are killing them on purpose. See, I'm not blind, because I need to "see" something to believe it and I don't follow a weak paranoia like you.
>Picking a server from a large list of options takes seconds, while matchmaking systems spend minutes juggling players around until it fills a server.
I think you need to read better because I said matchmaking needs to improve (5th time, wew) and by improving it will take less time to find a match.
Also, really, tell me the old quick play system was good with a straight face. I dare you. Everyone said it was shit. yes, fucking everyone. Do a poll, I don't care. Everyone hated the old system, it was crap and it added you in absolutely terrible servers and matches.
And you are showing more arrogance than me. Then I am the blind one. You speak by absolutes, pretend the old system was good and you don't stop calling me "plebbit" like it makes your point any better (and it isn't).
>Name ONE (1) online multiplayer game that came out in the last five years that had any kind of mod support. Even if...
Hold up, so if I name one game, it doesn't matter because you basically covered already your ass with "even if you can name a few, ..." argument? Again, am I the arrogant one here?
Five years you say? Day Z. Why bother naming more if you already set your mind.

Matchmaking is needed but now it's shit and needs improvement. Call me plebbit, cuck, kid, casual, I don't give a fuck anymore. I know just just want to cherrypick something I said and have the last word.

I am an idiot for showing disparity in the use of certain characters in a game. In a game that has 6vs6 matches at high level.

I disagree, TF2 has always been fun and 12 or more player in each team only make it better.

The old quickplay system was good for finding servers playing a game mode, and it would offer you the choice of servers with their current maps. Oftentimes I find myself joining servers that just voted to change to a map I might not feel like playing or I heavily dislike, or even off the map checklist altogether due to players voting after a match. I enjoyed the choices involved with the old quickplay, though me and the one friend I have that played the game struggled more to get into the servers due to how it would fill up. Current matchmaking does in fact remedy some issues such as difficulty joining the same team (though we improvised and tried killing each other while waiting, which was just as fun). The pace the current matchmaking has features a lot more dead time since you can't do other things while it finds a server, which can also be fixed. The old one was not so different, but it didn't exactly take its time finding servers. Maybe 10-20s tops. Admittedly I'm a brainlet that couldn't get the server browser to work, typing in map names just wouldn't get any to pop up, so I have plenty of experience in using the old quick play system. I distinctly remember the shorter time, "server is now full!" messages, whereas with this one I spend like 1 or 2 minutes clicking that medal in the top-left to some music. There is a much longer wait time with the current system, and that can be fixed. But to say that this current matchmaking is better than the old one is, quite frankly, absurd. It has its differences, however the time it takes is a massive downgrade, especially with the current game model where matches can be too short before some chumps start voting for other modes/maps like tc_hydro, then everyone except maybe 6 total people leave. Then I have to wait several minutes through that quiet map or go back to waiting in matchmaking.
TL;DR Matchmaking is inferior to old quick play, but it gets some things right at least.
>>
I'd just like to interject for a moment.
I fucking LOATHE MYM not because of anything about the matchmaking but because autobalance turned into autobalance or whatever if you feel like it. Playing 6v12 because everyone on the team of 12 presses K instead of J fucking sucks.

Autobalance really was a necessary evil for extreme cases like this. I can't even join the lesser-numbered team of my own will until that stupid prompt comes up. I feel that there's so much wrong with how the game handles its players that it's quite frankly impossible to pin it down to any one issue, the whole thing is fucked. The only solace is that community servers are still a thing.

Sometime ago Valve decided to have an ingame contest for Heavy and Pyro since they tie for least amount of useful weapons and gear. Pyro ended up winning so he's getting some new weapons and shit eventually. In reality what Valve should be doing is bringing flamethrower back to its original strength, unfuck every single one of his melee weapons and revert Spy's base speed to what it originally was.

Nigga you gotta type in the game mode first. Like if you wanted to play on hydro you'd type tc_hydro or just tc_. Actually you called in that later in your post so I have no idea how you never figured this out, unless you filtered all maps somehow. This is how I used the server browser at first. But my favorite mode is 5cp and eventually the only thing I'd actually find with players in it was cp_dustbowl, unless a rotating map server happened to stop on a 5cp map by chance on a blue moon. Previously I could easily find a clan server or whatnot with just something like cp_granary or cp_5gorge, but over time those mostly went the way of the dodo or became fastspawn cancer. I actually quit the game for maybe a year or two prior to MYM because the only servers I could find (that weren't shit maps or idle) were Valve servers, who had a whole legion of shit players on them and rarely anyone else besides the occasional pubstomper. Matchmaking might be longer for some but it's automatic meaning I can leave it in the background while shitposting and it does its thing. Only things I miss are arena which I never play any more and payload race, but it only ever put me in shit servers of like 8 people so I took it off the queue.

Reverting flamethrower damage won't make pyro any less useless because direct flame damage is already his most useless ability
>>
>>388428272
I actually prefer it this way. The old way would seemingly autobalance whoever was killed first but at times it was just arbitrary. But it usually meant you would kill some retard spy or sniper who doesn't do shit for either team and now you're stuck with him. Or you autobalance someone who isn't total shit and he immediately quits the server. I actually felt it was less of an issue when the disconnect ban was more stringent. For all the shit it was first few months of MYM I saw very little disconnects prior to the end of a match, which was a huge advantage over quickplay or even server browsing. But reddit complained and now it's back to the usual attrition.

Yeah I typed the map name as you did, the "tc_hydro", didn't put any filters on. Nothing would ever come up for some reason. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't.

Valve tries to kill it, the best they can. Bless their heart, they do.
But TF2 Players are so deluded, they are causing shifts in realities where they are living in a world, where TF2 is still a great game and everything is good. You can feel the disturbances in spacetime, when you are close to them.
So whatever mean things Valve planned for the Pyro update, it won't be enough.

Which is why I also said they need to restore some of his melee weapons back to what they were before. Pyro was never particularly strong save for what he could do in closed quarter or surprise situations and at this point, every class can deal with him before he even gets near. Pyro needs all the help he can get, but apparently shit heads think he's too good at the only thing he excels at, being up close and personal.
>>
>>388429405
Fixing melee weapons won't make pyro less useless either, he was useless before the axe nerf and he'd be useless again if it was deleted. Pyro's problem is that he's a cqc class without any means of getting into cqc or getting out of cqc safely. He needs movement tech. Airblast jumping would be good. He also needs more lethality. The flamethrower has the worst dps in the entire game, and this would remain unchanged after all damage nerf reverts. But at the same time, making its damage output too strong is a bad idea because of how little effort it takes to hit people with it. Instead I would focus on adding status effects to afterburn. A good choice imo would be having afterburn cause the target to take increased damage. Perhaps not to MFD level, but it should make them more vulnerable and put increased pressure on removing it (because lets be honest nobody gives a fuck about being on fire in 2017).

they linked to a site that detailed pyro problems in their official blog and the update has been taking more than a year to develop now, it better fucking include those changes it's literally the only thing they have to do with the community providing all the maps and models for new items for them for free

TF2 is literally one of the only shooters I've ever played where I couldn't care less if my team was retarded.

I miss that feeling.

It's because your performance isn't strictly affected by your team members.

Since its 12v12 or 16v16 usually the burden of responsibility is way less, plus you can wreck shit with pretty much any of the classes.

You can't deny that private servers and mods are becoming less and less prevalent over time. And that there's a real possibility of a future where they no longer exist. And that matchmaking is at the center of that future.

Overwatch has around the same amount of players TF2 has currently.

TF2 and Overwatch have the same amount of players now which is around 70k.

TF2's player count has slightly grown over the last couple months. It might be Overwatch refugees who got sick and tired to the political correctness pandering.
>>
>>388432943
There are some really active community servers still that have those feelz, you just need to find them.

>>388435042
I did try Overwatch for a while but got bored of it after a few months, I've sunk over a thousand hours into TF2 but I never get bored of it. I'll probably go back to playing it soon to be honest.

>>388435192
I still play Team Fortress Classic, no wonder valve removed the grenades.

>>388435192
I went back to playing tf2 occasionally, I haven't booted up overwatch in months. Except yesterday just to see how new mercy is in ptr. Didn't stay for more than a couple ults worth.
>>
>>388434795
this is not true, however
>meet the medic has 53 million views
>according to steamspy 1.7 million people play tf2 at least once every 2 weeks
>servers are chock full of gibus people
>but only 60k concurrent players online at any given moment
all this says that TF2 attracts a lot of new, first-time players, but they DON'T stick around.
if valve only got off their fucking ass and fixed this and increased player retention TF2 could be a juggernaut the likes of CS:GO like it deserves
hopefully pyro update does it

Why are Valve, as well as other devs like Blizzard, unwilling to reverse monumentally unpopular decisions?

Decisions that nobody likes, nobody felt was needed, seemingly prompted by nothing, that repel players from the game?

It died around 2009. What's left is a shambling corpse being paraded around like it's Weekend at Bernie's.

I just find it far to bland, it's the tasteless white sauce of multiplayer shooters. TF2 in comparison has a lot of character that keeps drawing me back.

RIP Skillhero's/house of melancholy, wasted so much time on that server. RIP Playing music from the 80's with HLDJ while fucking about on pyro

I want to like Overwatch, but between the "win or fuck off" attitude of the community even in quick play keeps me away from it. The only time people were remotely friendly and cooperative was when I did well as Rein in comp placements, and that was like two seasons ago. There is also the absurd counter-class gameplay. You know how pyro is typically considered a counter to spy? You can still catch pyros off-guard and kill them, or shoot them, or anything. You can outplay TF2 counters. In Overwatch, if you come head-to-head with your counter it is almost always going to end in you losing. I felt that was the most frustrating thing about it, that my skill didn't matter, just my choice of character before I have to go back to spawn (manually or otherwise) and change character to meet the opposing team's. Not to mention ult economy which is a lot harder to properly counter depending on your character. You can interfere with medic ubers, coordinated ults not so much. I don't feel like I could have improved my handling of a situation when I die, I don't feel like I'm growing or learning at all when I die. Then it's compounded by either the fags on mic or in the text chat. It's an aggravating experience. I feel like I get a higher experience trying to kill occasional hackers in tf2 simply because I can play around how they function, even with their seemingly impossible to beat cheats.

It's losing a thousand players per month since a good while.

Check the steamchart page of tf2 and see for yourself.

I know what you mean about the "win or fuck off" attitude of the Overwatch community, it's not very welcoming for newcomers (and anyone else for that matter) and is partly why I stopped playing it.

People getting really pissy about not picking the "right" character, I used to quite like playing as Reinhardt and was pretty good with him but team mates would keep telling me to switch character or piss off because he's not longer "meta" or some other bullshit.

I feel that in TF2 while every character has their strengths and weaknesses against other characters it's not impossible to like you say beat your counter, a Spy is going to have the advantage over an Engie but it's not a foregone conclusion that the Engie would lose like it would be in a similar match up in Overwatch.

In short, I find the Overwatch community to be toxic despite all the platitudes to "tolerance". The TF2 community doesn't have half the rules but it's a much more welcoming environment for everyone, from the noobs up to the people who have been playing it since Orange Box. You can actually have a laugh while playing TF2.
