How do you get the scoreboard steam profile thing to work? I actually really like that function, and have been waiting for it. I tried opening the scoreboard and right-clicking, but nothing happens.

They are beta testing it. I believe and hope that they are trying to make it as good and clean as they can. It may be a while, but I am sure it will be worth it. It is pretty much confirmed to have a ranking system.

The profile thing is cool, it doesn't work when used on people of the opposing team though.

Edit: Never mind, it works now.

Valve broke MvM: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/3iott9/mvmpress_f_away_from_upgrade_shop_after_buying/

steps:
  1. go to Upgrade Station
  2. get some upgrades
  3. with the menu still open, back away until it disappears
  4. hit F
  5. hit Refund
  6. hit F
  7. hit Cancel
  8. repeat

if you want to get easy loot or the Gear Grinder badge, now's the time to do it
Note: any illegitimate upgrades will be lost if your team loses a wave.

update: I just got the Gear Grinder badge, ironically without doing the glitch since the other players wanted to play legit. now the only badge I have yet to get is the Mecha Engie badge

Inplace of matchmaking....

I wouldn't say in place of matchmaking, more like something to keep the community from going on another mass outbreak because they have no updates. There is no way in hell Valve would let go of matchmaking after they already confirmed it with eXTV and has so much code already in the game.
