How suddenly number of AFK players increasing and ruining most of the games ?

I have been forced to write about constant AFK players are ruining games in this season. AFK players appear like random word like robot words. My English is not good but i will try to explain situation. I believe , i have solid proof. 

First Match , I have played TDM and noticed there were AFK players appeared on other team and eventually ended up losing really bad as you see.

Second consecutive match, The same AFK player (Lifeline) appeared again but in my team. 



Lots of them appeared with a plain gibberish word and then AFK until the end of game and then target to the next game. I have no idea why and it is getting outbreak. Now it is a serious problem. I made an effort to share this. I also have recent proof that has more AFK players. 

Why Respawn can not ban or deal with this type of AFKs ? Is it not serious issue at all ? 

Edited: I can not expose the name because it is not allowed.

    @LichT_BD Unfortunately you are not allowed to show names, so you will need to take down those images, or repost them with the names gone. The AFK players are a result of account selling. People set up bots to play games until the account is level 20, then they sell the account. We see this most frequently with lifelines.

    They used to do it in Arenas.  Now they do it in Mixtape instead.

    Thanks for editing your screenshot.

    and reporting them wont do anything, since respawn dont care unfortunately.. the best thing you can do is just afk for that round
    actually dont play anything other than rank at all.. those tdm * is developed for botting only..

    I don't understand how you can report someone for being afk, and they have no damage or movement but still get an abandon penalty if you don't play it out. I've had more than half the team go afk and you have to just play it out. Horrible design.

    @LichT_BD They are not AFK. These are bots - they exist only to exp. account and sell it for ranked purposes (probably to banned cheaters).
