TF2 is ruined (Hong Kong and Singapore servers are ruined)

[antifungal cream]

I was playing TF2 one day and my game lagged, at first i thought "Hm, this might be my internet", i chucked in net_graph 1 into console and i have 70 ping, ang 15.2ms lerp, then that's how it hit me, lag bots, DDoser's, the delay on chat is awful, and i can't call for Medic and when the time the voice command goes "MEDIC!" I'm already dead, is it good for you people in USA & Europe? 9 times out of 10 i get into a match where it lags and i can't move outright and i had to drop my scout main and play solly for a bit.

Do you guys have lag in US and EU? Cause certainly my friends in Asia do.

I looked through RED & BLU's leaderboards, and i saw no one going over 110 ms, just that silly F2P who doesn't explore network settings.

I am downright tired of these bots and i might have to go silent and inactive for a few more months.

Feel free to discuss topics in here, what are your thoughts about this Asian players? And US and EU players, how do you feel if these ddosers or lagbots got into your games (if any, might I add.)

Seems like there ain't much talk about this lag issue in the forums, which is weird since it's such a widespread issue for a week or so now. No one really knows what's going on, is it a lag bot? Some random asshat DDOSing the servers with his mum's 2008 laptop? The lack of information and acknowledgement from Valve/the community is just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ frustrating.

It's definitely annoying. Had been encountering this for days now.

No problem on euro servers either.
I played a few casual matches yesterday to see if the situation got any better.
I gotta say, that either i'm just lucky, but i didn't run into bots that often.

Maybe Valve has added the csgo trust system or so? now that i think of it.
When i look into the matchmaking settings a bit, i can clearly see, that euro and na server are the most populated one out of all.
Maybe singapore and hk don't have enough players for the trust system to work properly.
But thats just a theory, no i ain't say the meme.

I'm using Valve Region Selector (https://github.com/BeepIsla/valve-region-selector) so that you can trick the game into selecting the region you want. I mostly now play on Sydney server (no lag, less to no bots). Personally I only select Tokyo South and Sydney but I always get in Sydney server.

child this is a very pitiful thing but it would't change in the near future.
I had already inquiry customer service and guess what I get?
Valve don't care are about it! They just care how much key they sell,when the asia player community crying for full of bot sniper and server lagging the canned response tell you check your network and go ♥♥♥♥ youself,don't even say something hopefully,that the valve how care about they asia player community.

so far, I encountered ddos or lag bot in Hong Kong and Singapore servers. it's frustrating to face this issue in asia server because it affected evervone in the asia region. i noticed that lag starts to happen when each team is crowded. so, for now maybe not over populating is our short term solution but valve needs to fix this issue ASAP. The joy of having crowded team is no longer fun with lag around.

Yea i also experience this too. There's no way of enjoying casual server anymore. Bots are tolerable because we can at least kick them. But ddos? there's nothing you can do. Its such a shame that valve probably wont fix this because it doesnt affect majority of the players (such as in NA and EU)
