The most fucking annoying thing about TF2 is how the two gamemodes are now shitposting and comp, and I blame the idiot who named it ‘casual’. There’s no space where you can just play the damn game with people making a good-faith attempt to win, except in comp, which is, well, comp.
What it needs is a three way split: silly, serious and competitive.
That was what I really loved about Halo back in the day. You had a clear division of social playlists (serious), ranked (competitive) and the various more-or-less wacky modes (Infection, Grifball, Fiesta, whatever). Also, Slayer and objective types were kept separate. Something for everyone!
These things still exist in modern Halo but it’s not as well communicated in my opinion.

Try going on Uncletopia servers. The skill jump is kind of high but it fits what you’re looking for. I consider it a casual+ experience.

Silly, tryhards pretending to not care, sweaty
One of the reasons I quit playing League is the Silly game modes all became sweaty mode over time.
ARAM is for troll builds, not people who just suck at laning.
