Just got kicked for "cheating"

[PTSD Tony Stank]

Is this happening a lot in tf2 these days?

Probably a bot joined that had the same username and profile pic as you, and they kicked the wrong person

There are bots that can change their username and profile pic to yours btw

There's a lot of cheaters running around, and Valve isn't doing much. The last thing they did was fix a bug which made the servers crash when you kicked a bot, and that was to prevent people from leaving in droves and to save the game from dying

Game is being plagued by cheaters and bots so yeah basically being kicked for no reason is common

[Gallade Gamer]

Lucky for me, I'll never get kicked for cheating because I suck. however, I did get kicked because of my profile pic once

I get kicked for hacking from like 1/3 games if I play Sniper.

People who don't understand the game or what cheats look like shouldn't have the ability to call votekicks just on the basis that some idiot calls a good player a hacker just because the said good player headshot him one too many times.

Then party at your aim at being good enough to be confused with a cheater

I'm garbage and I just got kicked for cheating, just some salty nerds take it as a compliment

[Frauzi666]

i got kicked for exsisting

[Pyra]

A lot of people kick without even thinking or knowing why, so that's the reason most likely.

[südenim]

Yes, it happens a lot when you cheat

[rad_knight]

yes, since people are constantly screeching about how many cheaters there are (even though from what iv'e seen it's only bots, not cheaters who're actually trying to hide it) so all it takes to get someone kicked is saying "that guy's a cheater because *insert horrible reason for cheating like reflecting a direct hit or headshotting a charging demoman here*" and then peanut brains believe them.

I also had today 3 Casual Games, where always a Hacker was impersonating me and got me Kicked due to them pretending being me. However, when youre quicker than them, you can start a votekick on the faker and they'll instantly disconnect. Its not guaranteed that they won't come back, but you prevented yourself from being kicked

F2Ps can't start votekicks so they're in the worst position in this case.
