yeah the bot problem got way worse with bots of any class, bots in any if not all server(s), bots in MVM, and a bunch of other bull sh*t.

Sniper bots are a pain to deal with, however.. most can be countered fairly easily. It is mainly the constantly spinning or speed crouching ones that are the hardest, because you can't just instantly counter-snipe them.

I've still been playing this game during the WORST parts of the bot crisis, hitting my 5k hour mark, and I have to say, yeah, the whole bot thing is getting old and tiring. I hope Valve's possible solution would come fast, as the bot creators will not stop making them.

I do recommend joining community servers if you REALLY don't want to see them again.
