Seriously Lower the AFK Time

If someone hasn't moved since landing &been in the same spot over 60 seconds that should be AFK. And there should be some kind of way to make sure someone is really ready to Play after they ready up....

@Lord_Scorpion34 I think there is something unique going with the high amount of AFK/DC'd players. I'm seeing it in a ton of matches.

I had a 1 match this morning in which I got DC'd and could not join back in despite my best efforts. When I finally got the game up and running again I my squad had been or eliminated or something as I was unable to join the match.

    @DarthValtrex In the match I had they didn't appear to be DC. But the time still needs to be lowered.

      @Lord_Scorpion34 Are you wanting them to go to a banner you can recover faster?

      I have had these thoughts before, especially when it's a long run to the ring. I think it's kind of a tricky thing to balance out AFk/DC'd. I tend to punch them into corners and if I have a enough heals on me I'll wait for their banner. If I don't have enough med kits for it, well I hope they reconnect.. It's not a huge concern of mine, it sucks being down a teammate but I try not to let the AFK/DC teammate impact me.

        @DarthValtrexI want the system to recognize they're AFK faster so that I can get Loss Forgiveness in Ranked lol. Especially if the JM hot drops & we're down a person cuz they're off doing who knows what.

        But I also want there to be some kind of system in place that if you ready up that you have to give some kind of control input at the Legend select screen & maybe even the champion screen or you get dropped back in the lobby if you didn't press anything. I'd rather be down a person from the start than we get on the ground & they're doing the Mannequin Challenge.
