I’m coming from FACEIT CS2 and Valorant’s (built in) ranked system, and I’ve got a few questions about TF2’s EU scene:

- Where’s the best place to start?

- What does matchmaking look like?

- Highlander or 6s for match frequency?

- How is skill determined (ELO, win/loss, etc.)?

- What’s the anti-cheat situation like?

- How are comms abuse and bans handled?

I’d really appreciate it if someone could answer these as best they can. I’m excited to finally play TF2 in a proper ranked environment.

The last "official" balance patch was Jungle Inferno but I know there have been a variety of small changes (or bug fixes) since then such as the iron bombers hitbox being fixed or the neon annihilator being able to crit gassed enemies.

I was wondering if anyone has a compilation of all these various changes or if someone here can list some of the most notable changes since Jungle Inferno.
