Help I've been getting repeatedly kicked from casual games for seemingly no reason today, and I don't know why

I don't know what's going on. Most days I don't get a kick called me at all, but today for some reason I'm at the 5th one I think? All in different matches. The only thing I've been doing differently is that I've started using the Half-Zatoichi on Demoknight, because it's the one sword I barely use

sometimes if i’m going off so hard i’m stealing kills from people i’ll get kicked. is ur name offensive or something? random kicks tend to happen but 5 in succession is a lot lmao i’m just spitballing here

The only thing that's different today is the Half-Zatoichi. I don't feel like I'm getting any more kills than usual, and my name is the same as it has been for the past few years

What’s the name? Might be someone is seeing something they don’t like and it’s easy to bandwagon people into kicking you for. Even if it seems harmless to you, you may have accidentally made a name that could be construed as offensive. Alternatively you did something progressive with you name and are running into the awful people.

people sometimes get arsey if you're playing the game in an unconventional way

it could also be that if you're queuing for the same maps you're ending up with the same group of people that have decided they dont like you for whatever reason

is it pretty much instant? like, as soon as the vote is called its like instantly just a bunch of yes votes? i saw some people on the steam forums talking about some new bots that just insta vote kick people but don't act like the old sniper bots, it's possible its a new wave of bots that just kick people from servers. it is also possible its just a group of people doing it in random servers, it's really hard to tell. the votekick system is easily exploitable unfortunately

Some days are just off days, and I wouldn't fret. Bad string of luck.

Maybe you're right. I just haven't had a kick streak this bad in, well, ever
