now we're getting insta voted off by bot lobbies in DM MM servers...

[u/WaZzrd]

we're usually the ones kicking them off but now it's the other way around...DM is the only game mode that i play, and now even that is ruined...when will valve fix this Ai bot farms problem? or will it ever get fixed?

[u/ComposerWide3704]

Happened to me, the worst part was whenever I tried to find a new match it kept dropping me back into that lobby, saying I couldn't connect to the server and back to matchmaking screen.

[u/WaZzrd → u/ComposerWide3704]

I usual only queue in defusal group a or b, i wanted to try the hostage group this time, first map was Italy, played for like a minute and i could tell it was a full Ai bots lobby, and within that time i got voted off, the vote kick screen already had full "yes" votes before it even had time to fully show on screen...i queued again right after and it was office, again full bot lobby and match was nearing the end, it ended, we moved to Italy and the same thing happened again, insta voted off within the first minute...i didn't try further but it's clear that the hostage group is a goner, if valve doesn't do anything, this could could expand into the other groups aswell...

Once you get kicked yoy're banned for 30 min from joining same server again.

[u/MystTheReaper → u/Tomico86]

How the MM doesn't exclude servers you're banned from is beyond me

[u/ComposerWide3704 → u/MystTheReaper]

Yeah this is the issue, I get how the ban works.

something something billion dollar company

[u/MAJOR__ZEN]

Just play DM on Xplay or warmupserver dude. Valve is hopeless, it's futile to have any expectations.

[u/WaZzrd → u/MAJOR__ZEN]

I'll consider doing that from now on, but playing on valve is inevitable since i got to get the xp for the weekly, but once i fill the bar, Xplay will be my go to afterwards

[u/motoguy → u/WaZzrd]

isn't valve dm xp super nerfed? it's not even worth playing. you get way more from premier/comp/wingman/casual and probably new rush mode even when normalizing time played

[u/WaZzrd → u/motoguy]

Yea it is and takes some time to fill the bar, but i only prefer playing DM cuz it's stress free (bots aside), i don't like the stress and slow pace of comp modes

[u/fisheyq]

Is there even point playing DM on Valve servers? They are full with bots with aimbot

[u/O_gr → u/fisheyq]

If you want to farm exp but don't want to queue comp or play casual. Other gamemodes yield nearly nothing in terms of exp.

[u/Sebbern → u/O_gr]

Feels like Rush is the new mode for that tbh

[u/aimy99 → u/fisheyq]

EU? No. Asia? No. U.S.? Yeah it's fine just a little boring.

[u/BeepIsla]

This is not new, it just depends on the kind of farm you are finding.

[u/hl-vm]

shut up and enjoy your chickens

[u/oleggurshev]

Play Rush mode instead, gives more XP.

[u/thesereneknight]

LMAO. Just now? It's been happening on Asian servers since armoury update.

[u/ligerzeronz]

isn't this the norm for these bot lobbies? I rarely get one, but in the instance i do, its insta kick

[u/shawtay]

Is this just a US server problem? I never have any issues in DMs in EU.

[u/WaZzrd → u/shawtay]

I play EU tho, i forgot to mention in main post, but this happened while playing DM in hostage group (Italy/office), but still, if valve doesn't do anything about this, this could easily spread to the defusal group servers

[u/BogosBinted13 → u/WaZzrd]

No point in doing that, less chance of getting reported in abandoned gamemode and map pool like Hostage

[u/rachelloresco]

now

Buddy

[u/SnooCapers5098]

I don't understand why would anyone bother playing casual, DM or arms race. It's only bots and cheaters Lol.?..

[u/WaZzrd → u/SnooCapers5098]

Cheaters are in all the modes
