6 #6 Shanky 28 Frags – + It wouldn't make too much sense to include a ranking system for MvM as all the worst players would be grouped together at the bottom and would never win anything. The robots don't get any easier, unlike in matchmaking where players on both teams would be ranked low, resulting in a fair match.

7 #7 Vand 13 Frags – + Agreeing with the above, it probably has something to do with quick-play in all honesty. I'm trying to find it first, but I remember a SPUF (Steam-Powered User Forums) thread that outlined issues with quick-play and being launched as a new player into a Valve server and being "crushed", with a few suggestions revolving around assigning ranks as per achievements (which wouldn't make much sense due to SAM) among other things. If it has anything to do with actually furthering competitive TF2 via a match-making lobby system of some sort though, my heart would explode.

14 #14 Voloder 27 Frags – + Agreed. Highlander is what they were talking about to Sal/eXtine forever ago, so if they've decided to actually do matchmaking there's 0% chance of it being 6s.

16 #16 JonesyMcFly 3 Frags – + I think if enough people showed interest in 6s lobbies, and enough people actually used the HL ones, they might be persuaded to make it for 6s as well. I think right now they don't believe 6s is something they can really get pub players interested in the way they can with HL, if only because of how different it is from pub play. I'd say it's possible, though unlikely, myself. I think if enough people showed interest in 6s lobbies, and enough people actually used the HL ones, they might be persuaded to make it for 6s as well.

27 #27 mathsad 12 Frags – + if this is actually related to a competitive lobby system i'll be extremely happy. who cares if it's highlander: valve is acknowledging and supporting the competitive scene. also as kurt said it would be a good way for them to balance the game and fix the dumb weapons (for example when they released that new pistol in csgo they used stats from mm to help balance it). if this is actually related to a competitive lobby system i'll be extremely happy. who cares if it's highlander: [i]valve is acknowledging and supporting the competitive scene[/i]. also as kurt said it would be a good way for them to balance the game and fix the dumb weapons (for example when they released that new pistol in csgo they used stats from mm to help balance it).
