it's been a while now since the Final fixtf2 protest yes valve removed the bots and yes even now as of 10/10/2025 i Still have not seen a single bot regardless of the region although that been said i have noticed a increase in normal players using cheats and people who don't cheat but will join casual servers and kick people at random simply because they can use the vote kick function what do they get out of this attention that is all after all you would try to prevent the kick which feeds into them getting attention
that also being said i find it sad how clear people use cheats in this game - aimbot/silent aim , wallhacks/esp , trigger bot and when they are called out for it the team they are on still do not kick regardless of it being common sense they are indeed cheating Just be mind full people do cheat and atleast think before you blindly vote f1 on the vote menu otherwise getting valve to remove the bots will have been for nothing.


all this in mind I still can recommend Playing TF2
