Afk players in ranked

The whole allowing afk players to stay in the game is a great change. But when both other teammates are dead and we have to stare at an idol person until our banners despawn it's annoying.

The game should go ahead and kick the inactive person if both squad mates are dead.

  • I left a match because I got knocked and the players were afk so I was either gonna get the 10 minute penalty or wait for them so I left. How is this fair?

    @JavonTheDon22Waiting for the banner to expire takes 1 minute and 30 seconds. While I am annoyed by AFK players as well, I'd much rather wait out the banner timer than have to wait 10 minutes - it's fair because you are the one who chose the longer wait time. Go grab a glass of water, or watch a video or something. 

  • @RwFinfrock Fun part: The game usually doesn't punish the AFK person either. Had one where a guy was afk and came back after we timed out.
  • LOL! AFK is most PRO way of playing Apex! 4 squads landed in octanes gauntlet. One of our was afk. He was standing still in middle of fight of 4 squads and nobody noticed him. They all killed each other, looted, recalled and left arena, but he was still standing on open space afking!
