This has been my favorite game for many years but the state it's in currently is near unplayable. The botting issue is so bad it could easily rival Runescape. I personally haven't been able to enjoy a match now for a long time because every match is just flooded with bots. It doesn't seem like Valve really cares about this issue, seeing how this has gone on for nearly two years. Not everyone knows about community servers so matchmaking is the true representation of the game to many people. Someone who is new to this game is going to load into a match and be greeted with a bot ridden mess. It makes TF2 look bad and it makes Valve look bad, especially since they keep pushing new cosmetic cases and charging money for said cases. This game deserves way better and I hope it will get treated better in the future. It pains me to say it but right now I couldn't recommend this game to anyone, even if I hated them. Let's hope TF2 gets it's renaissance but don't hold your breath too long.
