there's still a pretty committed player base and matches are very easy to get into with little waiting. the updates this year have been pretty big (fundamental map reworks and a patch with four new heroes) but the game currently feels like it is in a quieter "letting the devs cook" phase.

I dont know if this helps, but there is a store preferences page that you have to access in the store and not steam app itself. I have the settings for all of the floodgates open to see the absolute filth except the terf garbage wizard with these settings
store.steampowered.com/account/pref...
