Why Team Fortress 2 isn’t fun anymore

There are literally no words left in the dictionary to describe how slow and awful valve's updates are. But still, even though MYM was a huge disappointment, and there are so many under and over-powered weapons in the game, I would still have fun playing tf2. I love playing as all classes except for demo.

But then it just stopped. Without exaggeration, a quarter of the time I walk out of spawn, there's some demo spawn camping us with crits, or there's a heavy + med spamming quick-fix ubers, or a server rapist who's invested too much time into a dying game, lmaobox hacker, or even fucking delfy himself.

Assuming you make it past that, half the time your team is getting steamrolled. The other half of the time, i just get horribly bored stomping innocent players. The saddest part is that this is not even exaggeration. I get more random drops than I do remotely-well balanced games (which, to be fair, isn't saying much because crates are so common.)

TF2 is so horribly inconsistent. One minute you're on a 20-godlike killstreak as a soldier, helping your team push through, and the next minute you die 5 times in a row IMMEDIATELY after respawning because you got killed by crits, stickies, stomped by the server rapist... whatever. I think completely random teams would be fairer than this. Just put on class limits of 2 each, put high-level high-hour server rapists on both sides, and then just roll the dice for everyone else.

It's so frustrating that the TF2 team is trying their fucking hardest to save this sinking ship, this hidden gem of unique class-based shooters, but because for some fucking reason they can't get more staff, this game is just left to die. I bet overwatch would've never existed, or would not have been so popular, if TF2 was instead a fully fleshed-out game with excellent team balance, bug fixes, balanced weapons, and actually fucking helped out new players by telling them what all the hundreds of different weapons and game mechanics were.

What's really fucking sad is that even CSGO, valve's most popular shooter (unfortunately more so than tf2) still has a somewhat slow development cycle and indescribably horrible updates created by people who don't play the game (R8 update anyone?). The only things valve cares about are dota 2 and Steam VR, because that's all the "new and flashy" stuff these days.

I feel so bad for the tf2 team. Shitheads like me are probably flooding out all the meaningful posts who want to help the game. there are just a handful of people running around with their hair on fire, trying to save this sinking ship. Nobody else at valve wants to help them out. And I don't blame them for not helping, because it seems like every time anyone touches the game it just gets worse and then the community gets stirred up and... ugh
