      Completely filled with bots/cheaters for a few years because the anti-cheat sucks and TF2 is so old. I've moved onto Valorant and just fuck around with CS friends who never use any abilities lol

        Valve have invested the last decade in their fortnite killer. Epic made a competing platform so Valve said fuck that and are trying to take their core lunch money.

      If you use matchmaking it's a bot-infested hellhole. If you play on community servers it's still great.

          uncletopia isn't too bad usually. some edgy teens but far lower quotient than valve servers and a good few gays. still miss creators dot tf though

            Uncletopia was exactly the one I dipped out on about 15 minutes after joining because all the hard-r's I was seeing about a year and a half ago lmao

            That cluster is why when I can be fucked to even bother with tf2, I just deal with matchmaking

              understandable, that doesn't surprise me but I've thankfully never seen anything that bad on there on the EU servers. definitely hit and miss though

          I couldn't tell you because I have text chat and voice chat turned off, so I just kinda move wherever players are.

      They just dropped an update a month ago that improves performance and makes the game run as 64-bit

      I play casual from time to time and some rooms are great, some rooms are filled with bots. Weirdly, the community servers seem to have better anti-cheat than Valve, since I haven't seen any bots there.
