Mind you, the Valve team has taken on several outside contractors to work on competitive matchmaking for TF2 [...]
They have? How do you know? Can you elaborate on that?

CS:GO has 4 times the active players than TF2
Actually the number is much bigger, since a huge percent of tf2 playerbase does not give a shit about the actual game at all, sitting on trade_plaza trying to sell stout shako for 2 refind.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=30750&post=520805 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 13:43:45 +0100 Reply by thestephenplays https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-30750/page-4/?recent=521487#post=520793 Quoted from dodgydogman
I would quit CSGO and come back to tf2 right now if there was ranked matchmaking. Its just way more appealing to press 1 button in CSGO and get a match in 20 seconds than to wait 20 minutes to find 2 medics to play with usually terribad players in tf2center. I wish you could create a party in tf2 center and click a "I dont care what map" button to find a match instead of joining one of the 5 lobbies all waiting for medics.

CS:GO has 4 times the active players than TF2, let alone the fact that you're playing 1 role instead of 9 classes like we do. It's pretty naive to wish for this if you can see how bad the system would become in it's current state.

We've gotten by this long without Valves support, why would that suddenly change now? Because they didn't respond to a letter? If Valve ends up taking an interest (and they have if the matchmaking rumours are to be believed) then great. If they don't, well, no use crying about it. I suppose it's a bigger problem in America where the only real league they have is ESEA, ran by jews, instead of a community league ran by Germans.
which one is better though]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=30750&post=520724 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:12:48 +0100
