You Shouldn't be Allowed to Spectate
If you died while being AFK/AFC in the 1st minute of the game. You shouldn't be able to stay in game & earn points after dying while AFK/AFC.

@hayhor Ok that's well & good & the rule should still apply. Sometimes I have to take a * before the game starts. I run as fast as I can, do my business & come back. If I'm dead by the time I come back I would accept my fate.
The other day in a game I got a vault key so I wanted to go & I pinged it multiple times but the rest of the squad wasn't interested so I said F it I'll go grab the loot real quick & join up with them. Soon as I reached the vault I ran into a full team & couldn't escape & died.
I went ahead & left the game 1. Cuz I was mad at myself for being 1 of those tmsi sometimes complain about. 2. I knew they weren't going to come get my banner. 3. I was embarrassed & didn't want to deal with any potential trash talk. I took my penalty & my -48 & after 15 or so min started playing again. I held myself accountable.
Same should go for anyone who goes inactive during a match without trying to get into a safe spot 1st. If you died while away you're done. The game already penalizes you now for AFK/AFC. Issue is the time the game takes to recognize that is like a week long! It needs to be shorter. 60-120 seconds without any input from the player. The game is too fast paced for a 5min AFK time.

@Lord_Scorpion34 Get a switch, you can play while you’re on the toilet. Just kidding. Apex on that thing is one of the worst gaming experiences ever with like 540p with 15fps. LMAO.
