I started played tf2 around when the aimbot lobbies went away. Since then I have seen afk bots, horrendous queue times, broken auto balance system, hackers, and the awful state of casual matchmaking throwing you into games either already ending or steamrolls.
The only way to get the full vanilla matchmaking experience since most community servers have restrictions is completely flawed. It really is a shame to see how this game has been mishandled because underneath all of this, TF2 is one of the most technical/fun fps I’ve played
