Arenas - Loss forgiveness not working properly

From here

https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/arenas-ranked

Similar to Ranked BR, we want to maintain competitive integrity in Ranked Arenas. Players that abandon a Ranked Arenas match will be hit with a temporary matchmaking ban and will be unable to queue for Ranked Arenas until the ban is over. Along with this, if you have a teammate that abandons you, you will receive loss forgiveness for that match. With loss forgiveness, you won’t lose any AP and at worst will earn 0 AP for that match.

I had teammate who did not participate at all for 2 rounds. He was sitting in base and he had red sign on his icon. Game did not kick him out for inactivity. I received -AP just like if he was there playing with us. If we have to play 2 full round (it would be more if game countinued) 2 vs 3 that is huge disadvantage. 

Please look into AFK and kick out for inactivity timers for Arena mode. They need some ajustments for sure. 

I understand that you don't want to kick player out because he might come back and help us, but in my opinuon 1 full round of non participation is already too much.

    I just had a game where we played full game 2 vs 3 and I lost AP after that. Third guy never connnected to the server.

    What is going on?????

    Match ended around 12:45 GMT+1. 

    I was Seer and I had Vlak in team.

    There is some info for someone to check logs and discover root of this bug.

    Look at this screenshots. Guy never played a single second of the match. We lost 3-0. I did not receive loss forgivness.

  • @Anonymous Loss forgiveness isn't counting AFK players. It's also not counting matches that start with less than the required number of players. It only kicks in when someone on your team leaves.

    I agree AFK should be punished, and especially in ranked. Hopefully they will take action in the department quickly, such as automatically kicking someone who doesn't leave the spawn point (or who doesn't move for 30 seconds).
