One of the devs was asked about the next update recently, all he said was that it's going to be neato. Instant meme.

i wonder what is going to happen to valve pubs with this new mode. i thoroughly enjoyed valve pubs as they were, despite bs like random crits. this seems like it'll be extremely prone to the good ole bad iron soldier and his medic buttbuddy pubstomping, without even scrambles or autobalance or plain leaving to stop them.

I would say that TF2 is still one of the best multiplayer FPS games to pub (despite all the obvious problems), and the lack of good pubbing is part of why I don't like overwatch. If the competitive matchmaking is good it'll be worth losing what decent pubs can be found, but I can't see servers found through the browser surviving this for anything but MGE (and I'm curious if valve will continue to host normal servers with this new "casual" matchmaking... given their limited resources and need to host matchmaking servers, I don't think it's likely).

In a way, valve may be shooting themselves in the foot adding quickplay and now matchmaking this late in its life, if it flops. The game wasn't really dependent on valve's continued server support before, except for inventories and the store (which they would have to host anyway), but now if it becomes unprofitable and they need to severely cut back in a few years, it could kill the game for good, since so many community servers have shut down.

You'll be playing a match from start to finish, with actual winners and actual losers.

I'm a bit worried about the quick play option too. The thing I've most enjoyed about TF2 is that winning is just a bonus, I don't really care about it if I play well myself or have amusing things to happen. Overwatch is so competitive that I see myself only caring about winning, which gets me into the Dota 2 mindset which isn't a good place to be.

Even though I haven't played TF2 in a good long while, I like the idea that when I return, it isn't to a bunch of people telling me how I'm playing one of my favorite games wrong and how I should be taking it more seriously.

TF2 for me was really about dicking around in a server where at least 6 other people were AFK, spycrabs, or so bad that they might as well be AFK.  Its like, you can be as tryhard or not as you want, the teams will be scrambled at least once every half hour anyway.  And if you spend enough time on the server you get to know the people and establish your own little temporary meta for how everyone is playing.

Not seeing how this will improve my experience. Hell, they should add a 12v12 drop in/drop out mode to overwatch.
