And then you can't see the messages of the few people on your team who might be trying to coordinate, which is (hopefully) going to be important in matchmaking.
I'd rather Valve just removed Quickplay, but it's too late for that now. Hopefully matchmaking is alright.

The item servers may be down but the Tough Break servers seem to have doubled from last night.

It's unlikely to be anything major since today is President's Day, a federal holiday.

You could always mute the binders and lennies since the mute function also works for text chat but personally I still find it off-putting that people think that this is good shit-talking when it isn't.

It's weird how cultural shifts accumulate in tf2. I mean, it's been close to nine years.
And not that it's a bad thing but: the free-to-play changes shifted the demographics as well. Lots of kids have tf2 as their first shooter.

[Blackavar]

Something fishy is going on..
