Team Fortress 2 has recently undergone a very large update in the way matches are found and made. As such, playerscan no longer browse for their favourite server, worse still they only have a 50/50 chance of getting the game mode they want. Joining a server is a worse lottery than crates and when you get in a server the troubles become evident.

A few days ago, valve 'pubs' were very casual, join a game where you can tryhard or just mess about as a demoknight or rocket jumping soldier. Today and likely onwards is a different tale. Your team has 11 other players, all of which are heavily relying on you to win - they just waited 10 minutes to get in this server and they don't want to lose.

Planning on leaving if you get an awful team? That's a ban right there. A ban. No 'casual' game hands put bans for leaving non compet. Casual (awful name for it) Is just a free to play compet.

What can we do? Well, not much really. Valve staff are elusive and tend to ignore emails. However if a petition gathered significant interest, say 10k signatures it would likely be atleast enough to warrant discussion within valve's development team.

From this petition, we, the TF2 community would greatly apreciate a return to quickplay. Auto balance was an annoyance, but it is vastly preferable to this Valve! This system could be improved upon, but I personally doubt such a system could retain the fun and audasity of the Pubs.

Please stop trying to compete with Overwatch. Updates like this only serve to weaken your community.

Ps: weapon balances were okay... please do more stuff like that insteadof trying to reinvent a flawless wheel.
