strazyyyend of the beta? please correct me if i'm wrong since i haven't played it lately but nothing has really changed though.
abandoning is still a major issue that ruins matches
the rotation is questionable to say the least
the round/time limit isn't long enough (this is in my opinion though)
no serverside anticheat measures (untrusted/fakeangle bans, OW) like in csgo
1. They've been working on a sub feature. Abandons will also be less of an issue as the game gets released as people who don't leave will have a much higher rank. That's not a perfect system as it makes the lower ranks awful for noobies but the mid level players won't be suffering from chronic leavers like they do now, at least after a week or two.
2. Kinda? Its basically ESEA + gorge + the koth egypt map right? Not amazing but there's been worse maps

meHaving 20 minute games in TF2, a game that will likely have longer queues based on having 2 more players per game and a smaller community, means that no one player is locked out of the MM formula for long. After 20 minutes, no matter what, 12 players are now free to play again. This lets the MM formula more quickly randomize and sort players because they'll play more matches, and allows a smaller number of players to have constant fresh matches against different players. With 20 minute games, you'll see a higher percentage of players searching at any given time compared to a 50 minute cycle.
To simplify, the short game times make running an MM system much more efficient and easy, as you can quickly run player permutations to determine rank as well as prevent players from being "locked" out of the MM pool since they're stuck on round 3/5. This means a lot more of the players will be finishing games and entering the queue at any given time, making it easier to find matches even if we don't have all the players of CSGO. This is a really good middle ground and keeps MM from being drawn out or too serious.
4. idk what to tell you. valve's been putting in good work with AC lately, if it ain't enough it ain't enough but it seems like they're trying
