Life stuff happens...you know.

So how is TF2 doing as a game, as an "esports", and how is the lovely comp TF2 community doing nowadays?

Is valve actively killing it or just ignoring it and letting it die as it always was?

There's only a handful of people at Valve who care to work on TF2 in 2016, so they're kinda just.. not really able to do a whole lot.

Valve is (trying?) to make 6v6 a thing but with no weapon bans, no class limits and pl as a actual gamemode... So no they are not trying to kill it but the way they put shit together is killing it.

a good way to put it is that they are not trying to kill it but they are actively killing it as opposed to passively killing it

I posit that invite always has tended to have players that were in open 3 years before.

Especially if we're talking about teams other than the top 2 spots.

It's not that valve is "killing TF2", TF2 has always had a ticking timer of relevancy. The issue is valve at this point in time are pretty much the only people capable of resetting the timer. Issue is, the way they're handling things, they're making the timer tick even faster. Half-baked releases, slow confusing response times, seemingly disconnected decision making. These have always been prominent valve issues but they become even more apparent now more than ever with the handling of matchmaking and maintaining interest in the game.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Rather than letting the timer go on normally, passively killing the game by not doing anything, they're taking an active approach to try and reset the timer. However, in reality, the things they're doing are actually making it tick faster.

I was just trying to say it in one sentence.

What a shame to hear tf2 has gone down skillwise. But as long as I can still enjoy the comp format I am happy. Also happy to hear scout is still relevant

What happened to demo, did it finally really get nerfed?

The HL point is something that has been known for a while, even though many top demos came from that format. But from peaking at the UGC rosters it seems that less 6s players play both formats now unlike when I was active :(
