Bot Strategy?
Should there be a paragraph or even a subsection on "anti-bot strategy" or something like that? Votekicks, Fists of Steel, Vaccinator, etc.? Kestrelguy (talk) 17:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- No, because it is pointless as the "Anti-Sniper strategy" covers it, but if you want to make one, create an user page to write it · Ashe (talk) 18:05, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- But Anti-Sniper Strategy doesn't cover it. A lot of it applies, but not all of it. Getting up close and personal with aimbots doesn't help in and of itself, because they don't panic and always hit their headshots. Speed doesn't help, either, because again, they always hit their shots. At the same time, they have been shown to have trouble hitting players using looping taunts (such as the Boston Boarder), even though they make players easy targets for a human. Additionally, you can't - or shouldn't, at least - votekick legitimate players, and things like changing the kick reason won't stop humans from disconnecting.

- No real need for an anti-bot strategy, as they should always be kicked and that would make for a very small strategy. This should be the only recommended strategy, but this should be obvious anything to anyone.
GrampaSwood (talk) 19:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)- There's any number of reasons why a votekick might not go through, though. Sometimes people don't vote fast enough, and some bots travel in groups that make it difficult or impossible to votekick them. Kestrelguy (talk) 19:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
