Penalty for throwing

[Fuzzyboots]

I was playing a match, we had a teammate who was clearly throwing. it wasn't new player behavior. He ran to the other side of the map and would just run back and forth to avoid the automatic afk timer about 80-90 percent of the match. I saw this behaviour, we all can see our teammates location highlighted in blue, and then proceeded to call out this players actions to my team. He was upset about something and his way of getting back was being afk most of the game. He went 1 and 1 with like 300 damage over three rounds. Anyways, it was clear as day what was happening; there was no confusion to be had. My entire team of course reported this behavior because it is rude to throw like that, and a waste of our time. I received a message for the report that the player was penalized, but he is still queuing games. There is no penalty. Pretty sure all reports and responses to reports are handled by ai. It is what it is. I'm not super upset about it but that along with many other dev decisions make me question the games direction. With the sheer number of players this game has I can't be the only one who has experienced this.

I'm just venting I guess. I'm sure some of you already knew this was the case with reports but maybe some don't know how it works and will now be aware. WCYD right. This is the game we have. sucks though. Sucks someone can ruin games penalty free .

Could have been a first-time offender, or less than three. They'll get a warning for that, which is a penalty that follows the player for quite some time. If they keep screwing up, the penalty severity escalates.

Also, AI isn't anywhere near good enough to handle a ticketing system yet. It can barely be a chatbot without sounding racist or giving up Windows activation codes. Imagine hooking that into a ticketing system. @_@

There should be a request review option. Some people will play poorly and be misunderstood as throwing, and then there is blatant, undeniable throwing. Don't give the griefers the benefit of the doubt - put a spotlight on them and ban them harshly!

It's already part of most if not nearly all ban/support systems for a long time. They even use them for banking etc,. It's an Enterprise Edition version not some common AI.

Chatbots and automators, yeah, but there's no way AI can handle a task as complex as judgement yet.
