I've played this game for 6 years. And now I realized I just don't like it anymore. I had so much fun just playing the game, but lately the only players left are tryhards and assholes. If community servers just didn't feel so "empty" for me I guess I could just move on from there. But the vanilla experience is just... gone now.

been playing before it was f2p, havent played it in a couple of years

>6 years
So you didn't even play it when it was actually good.

2016's MYM was the death blow to the spirit of the game. I've played it since but it does not feel the same anymore.

The matchmaking is alright conceptually, but there are some completely inexcusable rough edges. One is the stupidly long interval between matches: about 30 seconds after each match (should be 15 max), 60 seconds of warmup AND potentially 60 seconds of setup. the wait is just too fucking long and it causes many people to disconnect and immediately join another match.

Take a break from the game, OP. Maybe you'll move on from it but you'll probably eventually get that old itch back and want to try it out and see what changed.
Maybe try playing with different weapons/loadouts, often I would always stick with the same loadouts and get bored quickly but when you try something different it can be quite fun.
If you haven't already try out the new maps from the recent Smissmas update before tossing the towel on the game.

>he started in 2014
>talks about knowing vanilla
at least the only non-faggoty thing you said was there being tryhards and assholes. maybe you'd see less of them if you used your peanut brain and went on a community server instead of being lazy and doing casual

I still don't get why being a tryhard is a negative

Rather toxic tryhards than trolls

>Casual
>Wait in a long ass queue before connecting to a match
>Takes 10 seconds to connect by itself (if I'm busy doing something else while waiting)
>Thrown in a random server with usually less than 10 players
>That stupid long af warm-up period before the match starts that was meant for competitive but is somehow still in casual
>Match ends
>Wait for the next map vote (which is always a map nobody wants to play on like 2Fort) and almost everybody leaves

>Quickplay
>Choose a server
>Obviously go in the one with 23/24 players since you could see the number of players
>Connect instantly and start paying the match
Criticize the wasteland that is the official comp mode but changing quickplay to casual was the biggest mistake of MYM

use server browser retard

Yes I know muh circlejeck company drone era of TF2 = best era yada yada yada, but TF2 was far better when everyone played for fun, and any tryhard autist move on to compeditive until they let that die out of autistic pride or some shit.

The game was fun post 2012, but it's only gotten more toxic since. Mostly thanks to your kind gatekeeping when a game can be fun or not.

in the case of tf2, i dont mean tryhards like some people pubstomping from just playing the game. I mean tryhards like doing okay and getting killed by a random crit and are compelled to spam their deathbind about how much they hate random crits despite playing in an enabled server

tf2 competitive community isn't dying of autistic pride, they're autistically trying to enforce their ideals onto the rest of the game and have been trying to do that for years

literally kill yourself. your personality is fucking cringe.

some people just want to load up and play while getting drunk with friends
the guy with 10k in hats spamming binds about how niggers need to die of aids and taunting after every snap headshot really harshes the mellow.

no one cares if you're winning or scoring a lot or even good just don't be a fag

Sounds like what Smelees or maybe just what all smashfags do.

lawl just vote kick them, you fucking retard. everyone insta hits f1 now.

If I could choose valve servers from it like once upon a time I would but MYM fucked up that too
So no thanks

>Calls itself "Classic"
>entire mod has random crits disabled

there are actually plenty of community servers that aren't those, but nobody is on them. get a group and go on one.

>>entire mod has random crits disabled
WTF I LOVE TF2C now?

Downloading.

do you think before you type or are you some stupid fuck NPC without a soul?

I just don't want you to go on a server with 0 players and complain that no one is joining. Fact of the matter is Valve is to blame for MYM being so shit and pushing the server browser away.

Playing since 2008 and it's still my favorite game. Fuck Wutville though.

server browser is full of garbage too, all the good communities fell apart as interest in the game faded

>game is already over and people are already leaving

Quickplay began to kill community servers and MYM killed them off. Interest never faded, people got annoyed and lazy

you are the type of person who looks forward to dick in their ass

Okay, never mind, I guess you are the reason the server stays at 0.

you really do think anyone actually uses servers besides the valve ones. fucking top kek at your life

I wouldn't mind the current state of the game if I could have at least had fun but I'm not even allowed to have fun because of compfags
>Jungle Inferno was affected by compfags
>almost every Jungle Inferno weapon change is a nerf

reserve shootee was pretty gay
