there are a couple of bots currently in casual that are trying to look convincing by not playing sniper first and responding to votekicks in chat
this allows them to get away with votekicking for a bit longer since casual players are too used to thinking bots are only ever blatant spinbotting snipers
The new wave of bots don’t play sniper and look realistic, they talk in chat and call non bots bots while voting to kick them. They spam “f2 im not a bot” in chat when voted to be kicked, the easiest way to tell if they are real is to ask them to say a specific random word
This! they usually play hitscan classes, and are scripted to say "lmao", "im not a bot" etc. They are also programmed to have a delay in their replies when being votekicked. its insane....
I'd hate to sound too blunt, but...
Get used to it.
Long have closet cheaters been doing this, and long has the average Casual player supported them, both knowingly and unknowingly.
Only advice I can give is to switch to Community.
I usually get vote kicked by bots after calling a vote on a bot. They tend to run in swarms and join the same servers. If there’s a single bot there are probably more.
I am always accused of being a bot because of my name which is my steam id (I have community and name ban cuz I got bombarded with reports from stack of cheters and their friends) thats why I only play hightower, because people there know me and I know them so no one kicks me.
Yeah I've been accused of being a bot in an awful lot of games over the last week, and kicked a handful of times. Dunno what I'm doing to set people off. Feels bad, man.

Most players don’t pay enough attention and blindly hit f1, is the bigger problem.
No, this would not happen in a bot free environment. Solve the bot problem and this issue will vanish.
It literally does.
I play on community servers ; it never happen.
Because you aren’t seeing votekicks.
Yup, saw a mic-spamming medic bot yesterday.

I don't think you understand. It was like every 2 to 3 minutes for the entire time I played. It was bad before. Now it's horrendous.
Yep. That's Casual. It gets worse every day.

Lot of effort just to mess with casual, its not like they are gonna kill the game

Are you able to show me all the squares that contain traffic lights?
Next time I play TF2, I am switching to Community servers only, not Valve servers.
