Is the bot crisis fixed?

[anubsnub]

Haven't played TF2 in a long time but I heard somewhere the bot issue is fixed? If it's true I will definitely be hopping back on.

Ye, haven't seen a single bot since. The problem is completely fixed now

Yeah, it's dealt with.

Can't say the same for the tensions between friendlies and tryhards, though.

NO THERE'S STILL HUNDREDS OF BOTS IN GAME

Just finished a game with 2 bots, the sniper and pocket vaccinator medic combo.
But during the game I encountered no bots, so maybe they are lurking during night on not so crowded servers? Who knows...

tryhards after seeing someone with 3 hours press g (unforgivable crime)

I believe so.

bots are gone. Dont even cross my mind anymore. Just look at this message board for proof. Not too long ago 90% of posts were about bots. Now there isnt any.

Haven't seen a bot, but tons of "regular" cheaters who seemingly have crawled out of the woodworks and into casual now. Crit-bucket, silent aim, wallhack, you name it. I'm still playing on community servers until Valve does something about the awful anti-cheat.

I feel like ironically I'm finding less good matches now than I did when the bots were still around. Once you kicked the bots the matches were usually good, but now that there's no more bots to deter the closet cheaters, there's even less decent matches now than before from my own personal experience. It's quite sad. Takes me literal hours to find a single match where there isn't either a cheater or one team is just steamrolling the other repeatedly (Valve, please bring back scramble)

Unfortunately community servers are also less populated now that the bots are gone, which doesn't help.
