Why did this awful matchmaking replace the server browser, again?

Is there something up with matchmaking for groups? Me and 3 other buddies have been queued up for casual for the past ten minutes, now. This is quickly draining all our desire to get back into the game.

Uuuuugh



Getting reeeeaaaaalll tired of running into blatant hackers every session now.




This time around the spinning sniper was supported by two medics, with the remainder of the red team actively refusing to acknowledge their presence at best and cheering them on at worst.

Coupled with the long matchmaking times whenever my group of friends manages to get together for a few rounds, this is very quickly taking the air out of the game for everyone.

Streamers deserve everything that happens to them in competitive games, if not more.

A year later and I'm still physically incapable of connecting to any in-progress games that my friends are in (and worse, it seems that attempting to join a game locks the queue and prevents ANYONE from joining that particular server until I leave the queue), and trying to get a casual game going with my friends from around the globe leads to 30-minute long waits only to get shoved into an empty server hosted on the moon. Community servers not filled to the brim with lovely custom assets are few and far between.

Are we due for any new content soon, at least?

Oof. I take it that there's not a lot of hope for the comics, either.

The game's still good and fun; even at 250 ping I can still futz around with Engineer or hose people down with a Heavy, and the blatant hacking has honestly gotten less frequent as of late. But holy crap has the matchmaking done more to kill my gang's interest in the game than anything else in this decade-or-so of hat simulation.

Wasn't there a Heavy update that was in the works to occur after Jungle Inferno?

In memory of a good friend and old LCS regular who I've lost recently, have the most absolutely-ancient footage of Goon Fortress shenanigans I know of:

As far as I can recall this was taken during the beta period you got when you preordered the Orange Box.
