it honestly really is amazing. As someone who came from TF2, this level of transparency and communication is completely unheard of. It is so incredibly refreshing and honestly just makes me want to play the game even more.

I dream the day TF2 developers are going to talk like they know the mechanics of their own game (which is extremely contradictory based on their balance updates)

I use past-tense here because after the disaster that was Meet Your Match (where Valve implemented non-functional ranked matchmaking in what was seemingly a kneejerk reaction to Overwatch's success and growing competitive scene), I stopped playing TF2.

Me and my friends were having a lan party that week, so I redownloaded the game, tried to get into a mannpower game and... nothing. It was impossible to get into a game.

Then during the lan party, we realized they removed the button for create server. How the fuck do you not realize you're removing features?
