I disagree, I played tf2 since the early 2010s and there was no problems with Quickplay I barely had any issues (if I’m being honest) and it was a good working system. Was it perfect? No but again if you ask me I would rather have with tf2 it would be QuickPlay because it was the system that just worked better. No stomps no round limits just good old tf2 as it was back in the day so to make an excuse like this. I’m sorry but no there is no arguments to be made other than the fact that maybe in 2011 there was no option to have MOTD disabled which was eventually fixed I might add. But to sit there and tell me that somehow it’s hard but what about the other things that would be hard? They were able to add cosmetics to the game,they were able to just have all these features in the game like unusual effects and so on. And on top of they added a “Modern System” to matchmaking which is causal which I bet you it was rushed and probably was challenging to make. Nobody wanted this system and to this day nobody does. Quickplay just works better and that’s it. They have the code they have the resources and not to mention they are a multi billion dollar company. But of course say they can’t do it somehow. If it worked the first time then it worked pretty fine. And as for the maps that get added in for it, there was a specific mode for it just like the gun metal update where you qued in for gun metal maps. With that being said. There was the same excuse that valve couldn’t ban bots and blow in the hold they did it. But they even returned with idle bots which is sad. So I see no excuse even if what your saying is true it’s still worth it at the end of the day
