AFK players should be punished.

This should be expected of this new generation of online games. Having someone doing absolutely nothing for almost the entire match, and not getting ban or at least booted out of it, is unaccepted.

I’d say a votekick and/or three-minute autokick are reasonable enough.

I like how CSGO does competitive. If you get kicked or leave, you can’t play competitive again for another 30 minutes. If you are CONSTANTLY leaving or getting kicked from matches, that 30 minute cooldown can go all the way up to a week ban from ranked play.

Agreed.

I agree but only for ranked play. Loosen the restriction for social play but still keep it stern.

I think leaving ranked games should carry a penalty but, not a 30 min ban. Maybe 5-10 minutes like WoW did. Social shouldn’t have any punishment besides losing some EXP and it counting as a loss. People have families and things come up and you have to leave the match or do something and be AFK for 5 minutes. -Yoink- I can’t count how many times I’ve lost power or have the kids mess with my router and disconnect it and be SOL. Things happen.

If people are gone for more than 3 minutes boot their -Yoink-.

However, I want to add to this. I think their should be a way to protect players that went AFK. Its not really fair for the player if he has to get up to take the trash out and gets killed twice when he has no chance to fight back. I think a player should get locked when he goes AFK/C so other players will not kill him.

Not a bad idea.

Or people could just do their chores before / after playing the match.

Preferably before. But that was just an example. Their are other things that can lure a player away from his/her controller…

I know. Just taking out the trash was an easy one to play devil’s advocate for :P. I understand where you’re coming from though.
