More and more people in ranked not participating

Just to clarify, it’s not me bashing someone having a bad day or tried to fire the gun but just missed their shots. It was literally just standing around not participating.

Hey Ripple-Space​,

Thanks for the thread and feedback. We've probably all run into that teammate at one point or another, and randomly being handicapped like that can definitely make the difference when you're trying to climb.

Just as a heads up, I've removed the image here as we don't allow callouts - there's really no way anyone here can verify what's being said. While it may be pretty clear in your particular situation, we don't want to open the floodgates to just allow people to start posting other's names and making accusations that can't be proven.

"Rat" gameplay can be a strategic choice in some situations, but that's absolutely completely different from someone just standing around not participating at all - which is clearly beyond just a difference in playstyles. Finding that balance of RP without also just getting that Round 1 bloodbath leaving only a couple teams for the rest of the match is something that's been adjusted numerous times over the various seasons, so it's always good to hear how that's landing for you in a particular season, especially in those last days as everyone's trying to hit that final rank before the end. Thanks!
