Please give Rift harsher AFK-Penalties. A player being afk for 20 seconds can cost you the round. Even the match.
It is so annoying being dead or alive somewhere in the fight and there is this 1 player being afk for more than 20 seconds, not helping at all to defeat the enemy runner.
An example from my last match. I did the primary runner for my random mates team. I dunked 2-3 times.
The enemies then did start to catch up. My friend got kicked from the Game bc of a DC. His 6th player slot remained UNFILLED for the entire match (which is unacceptable itself). Then 1 player decided to defend ALL THE TIME in our base at our spawns without even the rift point in line of sight (so basically a player with no idea of how to play this game in pvp). And then there is said AFK player being afk for almost half a minute.
I can understand DC since players have no control over it. I can understand players not being smart and playing in a really inefficient way. But I can not understand why players remain in the match when they go afk for 30 seconds, when Time and Team Strength/Size is a major factor of Rift.
1 Player DC. 5/6 players active. 1 Player defending in a dumb way. 4/6 players active. 1 Player being afk for 30 seconds and not getting kicked and replaced by someone actually contributing to the team. 3/6 players active.
You can't win a 6v6 objective mode against a full 6 player team (no fireteam) when half your team is afk or kicked or playing dumb, not contributing to the defense.
I can be glad that we ended with a tied game but seriously. If you go afk in Rift for longer than 20 seconds without any controller/keyboard input, you should be kicked and replaced with someone else. Because going afk in Rift is outright griefing the other players match progress and gameplay experience of the gamemode.
Edit: Fixed that "Gambit" typo. No idea how that dropped in there.
