Dedicated servers.
Support for large playercounts, not this eternal 5v5 6v6 nonsense that caters to consoles and shit corporate servers.
Actual drop-in drop-out gameplay, not 20-45 minute autism fests so that you can cram gear progression into a single multiplayer match.
No matchmaking or similar system and no sunk cost ranking system that doesn't do anything anyway.

This was already solved, it was simply unsolved due to engagement-oriented, cash-shop focused matchmaking slop.

I have no idea. I thought ranked vs casual modes would solve it but they even exist in casual mode. Like why do you even care if you lose in casual if it wasn't your fault? It's not like it affects anything.
>>
>>737943686
>>737944437
That's not true. It's because we know it's just a game so a little bit of fucking around is fine. You can be the best player that ever played but once the servers shut down, you're just a nobody. Why take any game so autistically serious?

Dedicated servers and server browser. You can't really fix the problem with automated matchmaking, there's too many variables. Give players the tools to craft their own spaces and find other likeminded players and it'll work out eventually.

Because it doesn't apply to life, you fucking nolife retard. You can actually affect the world in real life. You aren't affecting anything when you waste 20,000 hours playing a pointless game. Every game shuts down at some point. What will happen to you then? Suicide is the obvious choice.

95% of pro players are childless ungroomed unfit out of shape dudes despite money.
Rankedboars are the same except no money which is even sadder
>>people who are really good at something are "wasting their lives" on it
Most rankedggers aren't even good by pro standards and live completely unfulfilled lives and their hobby of choice doesn't even fulfill them.
You can deride fulfillment and acknowledgement from other hobbies like music, visual arts etc despite never making it close to the top 0,1%
You will never ever ever ever have the same feeling wasting away on dota 2 or LoL or CS, and thats why you see people trying to recreate that feeling by pointing out their ranks to exactly 0 (you)s, ain't that sad?

All you need is a good ranked system including a way to prevent smurfing (which isn't as big a deal as people think it is). If you're a retard you'll get matched with other retards, if you're a tryhard sweat, you'll shoot up the ranks to face other tryhard sweats. It's just that simple.

>>737948572
In most cases, the fate of one-dimensional shit like this has largely to do with what kind of game is in question. I think most games would need robust system mechanics and a very good layer of universal options to give way to diversifying options even at the highest level of play. I can think of only a handful of games who tend to land at that spot (mostly stuff like Starcraft, various iterations of Guilty Gear and KoF and so forth.) I think a lot of the problems with the modern approach to competitive gaming is a result of something like LoL and CS being the two grand measuring stick. Both games that are hellishly one-dimensional at their highest level of play.
>>
>>737948473
I don't derive pleasure from winning, at least not as much as fucking around. I used to lose all the time with one kill left because I was going for funny and stupid killcams. It's okay if you need to win in order to enjoy yourself but there's more to life than that.

I have the perfect solution. If you're a tryhard and you want to STOMP on TURTS (new players) you buy "rank down DLC" that costs $29.99 plus tip each time and brings you down 10 ranked levels so you can beat the shit out of children. Any attempts to lower your rank artificially will ban you from the game permanently, forcing you to buy an "unban pass" that costs $99.99 plus tip

Pickup and practice games. Basically something that people used before leagues and ranked matchmakings became a thing. People would host sites where you can sign and then when there's enough people a game will be hosted, an ancient matchmaker. I tried playing TF2 this way but it was just not as fun as pubstomping.

You have social modes with relaxed rules and wacky features that people can hop on and fuck around in for fun

And you have competitive modes with strict rulesets and hardcore settings for the competitive players

Halo solved this shit in 2004

It's not a real problem. There's no such thing as being overcompetitive. The point of a game with a win-condition is to win the game. If there's something in the game that a casual has a problem with and thinks is "tryhard" then the problem is the game fucking sucks and is imbalanced, not that someone is trying to win and also happens to be checking your ego in the process.

This has always been a flawed mindset. There's a very very VERY specific sweetspot in player count and design where it actually works the way you think it will, and even then it usually depends on the way the community has generally agreed to play the game.

Like in the lower stages of adding more players, you're just increasing the margin in which a team with mostly competitive players will beat over a team of mostly casual players, and making it harder for any competitive players on the latter to carry their team to a win, which just makes them rage more. A team that's 4:2 casual:comp vs a team that's 0:6 has a slim chance of winning, but a chance. A team that's 9:3 vs a team that's 2:10 has no chance at all.

Then when you go further in, and you have like, 24v24, 32v32, 64v64, etc., and then people (either naturally or through game systems) just start splitting into 5-6 player clusters/squads, which just wraps back around to reintroducing the issue and players raging at each other for not taking it seriously within a small scale.

There's just no escaping it. It's only in cases like TF2--where the vast majority of pubs have decided to just play casually, not care about trying to win, and just do silly shit instead of actually playing the game for its unique team-based play--that the higher player count per match actually helps reinforce the play for fun. That, or FFA games that can get really wacky with a shitton of players, and people have already made peace with losing because they already only had a 1/8 chance of being the winner even with smaller amounts of players.

anon, those aren't the competitive players, those are the people "just trying to have fun" their idea of fun happens to be being an asshole to people online, you wouldn't want to shame them for just trying to have fun would you?

I'm good at PvP and I support >>737957935, the very premise of PvP is comparing yourself to others and winning mean ruining someone's run. Playing with peer or with any proper matchmaker mean you'll never do better than 50-50
Playing PvP mean complaining about balance all the fucking time because your favorite class will never be treated fairly

>Non retards enjoy both genres
Exactly what the pic say, yet PvPtard try to convince themselves they are manly for not playing against AI.

There are two forbidden arcane magics that buckbreak composhitters like no tomorrow: Dedicated Servers and Custom Levels.
Every single time I saw a competitive scene form, they quickly isolated themselves to a handful of """hardcore""" servers that only run stock maps. The sight of any modded maps makes them uncomfortably avert their eyes. The custom servers running any gameplay modification make them gasp and clutch their pearls. They cannot subsist in this environment.
Use this knowledge wisely.

You sir, are retarded.

>>737969387
Reading comprehension, do you have it, nigger?
I said that they hate servers with custom gameplay modifications (which are usually impossible w/o dedicated servers, though there are exceptions), and they also hate custom maps (except very rare cases of absorbing a competitive-oriented map into their circlejerk routine).
Do you understand it now, or do I have to break it down further for your underdeveloped brain to grasp?

Stop tracking persistent player stats across games.
Literally that easy. Nobody needs to know their lifetime K:D ratio. Tracking win rates causes people to stress out about dropping below 50% wins, which triggers tryhard behavior. Matchmaking ratings in general are cancer, this isn't fucking chess, you do not need an Elo rating to play shootan games.

In TF2 almost every new cp map was originally just a custom map being played by tryhards until Valve began making them part of the main game.

Why do you think that there are only two groups, "People who don't know anything about the game and just play whatever" and "Professional-aspirants"? "People who understand the basics of the game" shit all over you.
