this game's competitive scene desperately needed an on demand matchmaking system that's standard in competitive videogames since the late 2000s and when the developers finally got around to adding one about five years too late, it turned out to be hands down the worst ranked mm system of all time
tf2's comp scene will remain niche unless by some miracle we get a 3rd party to do it better than valve did, the way csgo has faceit/esea running their own mm parallel to the dogshit official mm
