You probably don't play TF2. It's not just "human behind the kb/m using an aim assist cheat".

It's literally bots/non-human players that stare at the sky and beeline to either the objective or a predefined path. They usually spam music over in-game chat and there is simply zero plausible deniability that this player in the game is a bot. They usually come into a game, and then invite other instances of the bot to the same game, to prevent them from getting kicked (which requires 6 "yes" responses from the same team) and to kick other players from the game. These are the vast majority of bots/cheaters that you see in the game, and they are the primary reason that "casual" matchmaking is sometimes unplayable.

"real" players that are cheating in the game with some kind of aim assist, but it's still a human behind the wheel, are relatively easy to detect and spectate if you're on their team. They typically get noticed and kicked
