>>681463108I wouldn't still give Valve the money. Give it a week before the bots come back.
>>681465635Did Valve finally do something about the bots? A bit out of the loop here.
>>681465960They've banned them + the bot hosters. Whatever they did is also nuking alt accounts they're making. They're also following up on reports and banning cheaters, from prominent ones to even random goons that joined steam groups.The cheats themselves are still working so presumably part of this is manual bans handled by steam jannies and part of it is automated by whatever valve worked on
>>681463108If you're tired of 6v6 esports slop, sure.
>>681463108As of now the bots aren't bad for casual so enjoy that while it lasts. If they come back (they will) you'll have to switch to community serversThe F2P experience for TF2 is a bit fucked in current year. You can't use VOIP, text chat, or even call for medic. In case you're unaware you attain weapons via random drops that happen based on your playtime that week and reach a cap. The drop thing resets on a weekly basis but you'll either have to craft weapons which is tedious and not reccomended or you buy 2 keys of the mann co store sell them on a trade site and be able to buy all the weapons you want and some hats on the side
