    AFK players ruining games

    Oh, come on Ubi, I know you've got some talented programmers, then why the f*ck didn't you put any timer for players NOT moving AT ALL from the WHOLE game?
    And if it's a design choice then you gotta explain to me what the f*ck is going in your head cause I got no clue.

    I think I'm just gonna go back to Overwatch, I love this game's concept but the game is too broken for me (bugs or menu logic which is way too complex and restrictive).

    Okay, so it was a bug from what the patchnotes v1.13 is saying.

    I've been saying SINCE SEASON ONE that they need to implement a vote to kick function for the game. A function that can can only be used for AFK players. How do they do this? Someone initiates a vote to kick a particular player and a small box pops up on the other players who weren't selected to be kicked for a yes/no decision. These players vote, and the majority wins it. If the vote is YES, then a HUGE box appears on the player who was voted to be kicked's screen. The box will inform them that they have been voted to be kicked for being AFK, and they MUST respond with a random button input within 5 seconds to avoid being kicked. The box must be soundless, no notification chime to let people who aren't watching the screen know that they're believed to be AFK. The random input is to prevent someone from assigning one particular button to a turbo controller or something and just walking away. If the person is AFK or doesn't input the command in time, they get kicked. If they input the command, they're actively playing. The whole reason people go AFK is to do other stuff, if they wanted to play they'd just be playing. By using this method, people who are away or not looking at their screen will be booted. Forcing them to actively monitor and play the game.

    We have an Anti-AFK system in place that should kick afk players out after 60 seconds of not detecting any input.
    We were aware of a bug on PC, but that should have been fixed in today's update.
    If you continue to see blatant AFKing and players not getting kicked - please let us know and report it to us!
