I have played this game on and off since 2009.
At 2300 hours spent in-game, it's my second most played game on steam.
I love this game through and through.
And though I used to spend a lot of my play time in casual matchmaking, I have not used that at all over the past few years due to the overwhelming amount of bots instakilling everyone, spamming text and voice chat with profanities and slurs as well as votekicking and crashing players.
And there are SO. DAMN. MANY. of these bots flooding Valve's official servers.
I've spent the last 500 or so hours of my playtime in community servers, so the bot plague has impacted me minimally, but this thumbs down goes out to everyone who prefers and loves casual matchmaking, but aren't able to play it, and haven't been for the past 5 years.
Valve, get off your butts and Fix TF2!
