>>15979771You can indeed get to a level where you constantly farm dopamine from doing good, if it's with a class that actually takes skill and is fun to move around with. That's why you get bored with Heavy even after doing well. Taking candy from retards isn't that fun, cause you're not doing much still. It feels good when you know it's hard to do and not everyone can do it, but you can.
There are also other gamemodes you can play in to actually get a more pure skill based environment, there's actually a pretty sizeable playerbase of all that. That's where most of the good players are. More fast-paced, also. I feel like you're somebody I'd see in MGE if you just started playing a few years prior.
But that doesn't really matter. The problem is that you need to sink in thousands and thousands of hours that you'll regret ever having spent, to get to that point where you're good enough to have constant fun and feel stimulated. And with the state the game is in, I don't believe somebody could start doing that now. You either have already been playing for a few years, or simply can't put up with it now. Or just have to be mentally unwell.
TF2 is way past it's prime, not only cause of the game itself, but because at least beyond the surface casual scene, everyone who was fun to play with has left the game. All that's left of the community is the people who are stuck with the game because they've nothing else to play, and, I don't know if it's even really any fun for them anymore, it's rather sad if you delve into it. You see people with 7000 hours and stuff in the game, because back in the day it was genuinely fun to spend time with and you could run into some pretty cool people. Now what's left is simply escapism and time killing. You're looking at a rotten shell of a game filled with insufferable retards. You're far past the good years of it, so, I'd just advise not even bothering.
Try out CPMA. I don't know how fun it'd be to start now, but maybe you'd like it.
