The patches are mostly community fixes, which is not the way to treat a game that makes tens of millions per year. The game’s matchmaking is broken and needs either a major rework or outright removal. Some recent change broke MvM to the point it takes hours to queue up.
A lot of people prefer community servers and want Valve to outright remove matchmaking for reasons like
No team switch on matchmaking
shorter game times outside of control from players
end game map vote instead of near when the game ends (which also breaks randomly)
matchmaking putting you in a match right before it ends
MvM matchmaking being outright broken
The infamous Matchmaking Error: A connection to the Steam VAC Servers could not be made.
I personally think these problems can be fixed by Valve without the need to remove matchmaking alltogether, but i agree that the way Quickplay used to work was better than what we have currently.

Matchmaking? TF2 moved away from community servers? Bleh.
