I still don't trust that site not to lose my items

it's not a site, mate.
It's a thing
And it's an insecure thing
Unlike scrap.tf but oH w3ll

yes it's inherently insecure because if you get a keylogger you're fucked, but the alternative is being unable to trade at all so if that's what you're interested in you really have absolutely no choice because Valve.

flufnHonestly I'm the most excited about the attention this will give tf2. I think pugging will still be more fun.

It will end be the quickest solution, but also the one with the least control over what you will play with, while external site are most likely still going to be there for more serious comp quickplay with much more control over what will happen for the cost of more time spent on each game

lol weird because that's one of the only times the heavy is at his strongest but tbh heavy with a much smaller cone and less damage per bullet would be pretty cool
that would actually be a pretty cool change
have to aim which rewards skill
woah what a cool concept

It will be really dumb from the VALVe side if they decide to put like..really.. random players into the MM. Players who have never ever played a 6s or HL match. Moreover, you can imagine what stupid feedback these 'new' comp players will send...

It's reasonable that valve want to get a wide assortment of players into this matchmaking beta, not just comp players. So that guy who only plays valve pubs as engineer but has heard of competitive and could be interested in trying it is just as valuable, from the point of view of testing the system, as a prem player. They will want to see how everyone adapts and how the progression system works with a wide array of skill levels - if they only wanted feedback from the best players they wouldn't even make this steam group in the first place, they'd make beta invite/prem 6s only.

As far as balance changes and meta that's a huge can of worms that I'd be really afraid to open if I were at Valve. But I assume (i.e. hope) they're still working closely with the few comp players that are in on things to analyze those issues.

I think some people need to be reminded mm is to bridge the gap between pub and 6s. So if you already play 6s I don't see a point to freak out. It's all about getting attention for us. MM doesn't make us competitive it just lets outsiders see that we are.

Ewwhttp://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfcompetitive/discussions/0/405692224227187806/

to be fair of any of the class setups Soldier is probably the only class that you could have 7 or 8 (with medic being the remainder 1 or 2) of in a 9v9 format and still have a chance at beating a HL team. For a 6v6 format I'd like to think a balanced team would win, but if I had to pick a class that could win while being over populated I'd slightly lean towards soldier with scout not being that far behind.

The mobile authenticator thing is really just outrageous. So I need to buy myself an android phone (or download an android emulator). And then every time I want to log on to steam, my phone has to be connected to internet and I have to access the app to look at a code?

I'm probably just wrong. There's no way any company would do something this stupid.

just because they're in the minority doesn't mean they should be ignored?

e: (not that i dont think its a decent deterrent to keep smurfs out if its implemented in the final system and a way to keep people from making alts to get a better chance at beta passes, but if it's like this for actual mm release, issues will probably arise)
