Since it's so difficult to play from behind now......
Can AFK players be taken more seriously? If one person rage quits it makes it near impossible to win or even stay close to competitive. Then you're just forced to be dragged through an additional 20 minutes of gameplay (since we all know people don't want to FF.) It gets old, and I know these kids do it because they won't be punished for it.
I've had more AFK players on my team so far than I could remember in past seasons (even though this season JUST started. Yes, sad.) I don't know what the answer would be because I understand people have connection issues from time to time.......but there has to be something that could be done to prevent these kids from doing this and adding more frustration to the game than what already exists.
