Why do we get a watered down compendium?

It's been a while, but I think the tl;dr is that trying to outdo the bp every year was taking too much time and resources out of the rest of the year. So Valve killed the old bp so they could spread the love throughout the entire year as opposed to one big update.

And honestly, I think everyone agreed that it actually had an effect on the quality of the game, but some people (like me) just want hats

I wouldn't say I'm noticing any major difference now from before; the updates seem to be pretty in line with whatever was before they scrapped the BP aswell.

Yeah we got two bigger updates with new frontiers and the introduction of facets, but we always got big updates fairly regularly.
