Arenas AFK Teammate Problem

When I get into a arenas game, there are teammates that will go afk, but they won’t get kicked out of the game. We end up 2v3 or 1v3 and when I leave I still get a penalty.

  • @BeckettTheBucket I've had this happen numerous times. It's very frustrating!! I don't know what the answer is, but I'm sure the devs could decrease the amount of time it takes to kick out and afk person, which would then allow for the remaining players to leave without penalty.
  • @BeckettTheBucket Hey there, you may use the in game report system for this on the grounds of sabotaging the game for your team. While it does suck I can understand the frustration but the report system will do a lot of good picking these users up.

    Yep this exact thing happened to me 3 matches in a row.

    I loaded into arenas and WOW! I had no teammates. There was no leaving or afk-ing. They just didn't exist. This was at about noon btw. So there should be no issues finding teammates.

    I will never play arenas after that garbage again. Not by myself anyway. This season I have also had an increased issue of loading into BR without teammates. "JuSt RePoRt". Hiw can I report someone, who doesn't exist?

    But no the game is perfect, not a single bug or issue at all.

    How can people defend this garbage.

  • @BeckettTheBucket They need to add a ‘’surrender option’’ like Rogue Company has so if 2 of the 3 players vote to surrender you would not be stuck in a match with a AFK Teammate or against some sweaty team you have absolutely no chance against

    good idea, but once again that could create a problem for teams with a random and two people that queued together, because the team of two could surrender without the randoms concent.

  • yeah happened to me multiple times, maybe they just want the arena matches for the event? had both teammates staying afk in the buy zone a few days ago. so whole arena match 1vs3. and a day before that i left because of an afk teammate and got a penalty

    For 3v2, one player of the 3 members team gets a spectator view, so inactive for one round. This status is exchanged among the players of the larger team in each round. There is always another player as the spectator. This way there will always be the same number of active players on both sides.

    A player who spectates can exit the game without any penalties or consequences (no Win, no Lose).
    For 3v1 and 2v1, things would work similarly.
    No coin is available for spectation.
    The player who kills moves his killing coins to the next active turn.

    IMPORTANT: Players who are inactive (afk, offline etc.) for more than one minute (or one round) must be kicked out of the game.
