i do play competitive

i play TF2 just because of the cosmetics and the friendly community, and community gamemodes, i don't have actual interest on playing seriously, that's why i love TF2, because i can relax and chat with other people

it looks complicated and i feel that if i lose one single match i'll get bullied by everyone in my team and banned from a gamemode that, not only, it's complicated to keep up with because of the time the matches take place (which interferes with my daily routine), but because it's an extremely small and closed community, filled with actual tryhards, not like the ones you see in a casual match, but the kind of people that will scream at you through the mic because you ruined his weekly match and now, it's gonna make sure you never play again

because tf2's competitive mode is dead, because other people also thinks that it's dead, and it's an infinite cycle that stops everyone from actually queuing into the mode, and makes ME, a player that just wants to play FOR ONCE, a balanced match between a balanced amount of classes and a team that is willing to communicate, prefer to queue into casual mode, which contains a bunch of people that don't know other classes but spy, sniper and pyro, and call you tryhard for actually playing the game, which ends up creating an extremely repetitive game experience, and ends up with you, leaving TF2 for multiple months, playing overwatch or quake champions, and browsing r/tf2 just because you expect that someday, the game comes back to it's old days of glory, but deep down you know, that such thing isn't gonna happen, because the Valve team is more worried of virtual reality technology than a 10 year old FPS
