    Oh damn I guess I should learn to read

    I play pretty consistently and don’t notice a different after most updates

      I mean yeah, that’s why I said it’s probably not the updates people want, but they’re still allowing mostly community backed updates and add them quite regularly.

    The patches are mostly community fixes, which is not the way to treat a game that makes tens of millions per year. The game’s matchmaking is broken and needs either a major rework or outright removal. Some recent change broke MvM to the point it takes hours to queue up.

      Matchmaking? TF2 moved away from community servers? Bleh.

        A lot of people prefer community servers and want Valve to outright remove matchmaking for reasons like

        No team switch on matchmaking

        shorter game times outside of control from players

        end game map vote instead of near when the game ends (which also breaks randomly)

        matchmaking putting you in a match right before it ends

        MvM matchmaking being outright broken

        The infamous Matchmaking Error: A connection to the Steam VAC Servers could not be made.

        I personally think these problems can be fixed by Valve without the need to remove matchmaking alltogether, but i agree that the way Quickplay used to work was better than what we have currently.
