Got a ban for AFKing for 2 mins!

[W0lfy]

went away to help my partner with something for 2 quick mins and came back to a AFK warning. i didn't get kicked from that match so i thought nothing of it. Match finishes and i get hit with a 15min ban. The game was a complete stomp from that enemy team anyway so it's not like me being away for 2 mins would have changed much tbh. just think it's a bit harsh with the afk warning being enough for a ban .

Im just saying that it’s a bit aggressive that’s all

Not really. 15 minutes is pretty reasonable. If it was like an hour or something, then I'd agree it was too aggressive. You'll probably waste longer than 15 minutes arguing with people in this topic.

FALSE BANS FOR REAL LIFE PROBLEMS COUNTING AS AFK. NOT A GOOD FIRST SIGN. I was going to try this game out, but not if u get insta banned for nearly half an hour for being afk for a measely 2 mins,

AFK is AFK. The game can't tell why you went AFK or how legitimate the reason is. There's certainly real life things that come up that warrant going afk for 2 minutes, but if you allow that then you open up the flood gates for people just AFKing whenever they're throwing a fit over being on a losing team, which ruins the chances of a comeback.

True, just honestly didn’t expect the suspension since I didn’t leave the match or get kicked for AFking, just a warning on the screen. I will know for next time I guess.

well imagine what your teammates thought about you afking and what they saw is you hiding in spawn so maybe they reported you . maybe your presence in the match would have made a difference and your team would have won. 2 minutes is almost half the match so it is a long time in game play.

IN COMPETITIVE, NOT CASUAL.

Yes.

You shouldn't be playing comp unless you are at least pretty sure you can finish out the game.

"But what if there's an emergency?"

That's why it was only a 15 minute penalty. That's absolutely trivial, don't do it again and it was a tiny nuisance.

This was not comp, this was casual. No casual mode should have an afk ban penalty system at all, cause all it's doing is encouraging people to never play at all since they have to be in the match 24/7 regardless of real life.

At least you understand this can be a problem. Game has absolutely no way of knowing that you left the game for a good reason. It is what it is. There was times when I had too, so I understand.

From the games perspective of detecting afks is, timer runs, waits, you stay there, waits, team mates die, it waits for you and 2 minutes in row is an eternity in a game that only goes a 10 minutes. So you have to look at this in relation. Really, whats 15 minutes? I got 15 minutes ban too, because game crashed (so not my fault), then I go to Quick Play and play 2 sessions there.

I really don't understand that you see this as aggressive. It feels right to me. Should it wait 4 minutes afk? What is the right amount?

You AFK'd - basically throwing the match.

Then when you got slapped on the wrist for it you came here to post whining - typical attention seeking behavior.

And, this is going to make people sympathize with or respect you?

And being severely harsh with leaver buster clones is any better? What's that going to teach people? That in marvel rivals, real life does not EVER matter until you finish the match even if your team is being curbstomped and everyone else wants to leave the match to re-queue?

Because it is. The game assumes you being AFK PERIOD for ANY reason whatsoever means punishment/temp/ban regardless, no official verbal warnings or warnings, if this were 3 strike system, it would already be on the 2nd to 3rd strike, skipping the first one entirely.

you didnt get a ban you crybaby... you got a KICK.

its literally a 15 minute ban from matchmaking, so no, it is not a "kick".

Id be that aggressive with AFK'ing. I always tell my Family if im in a PVP match unless someone is DYING ill take care of it afterwards. Its like at Work, if you call me 3 times then il pick up the phone, otherwise Text me. So if it was important like you said, Just dip and let someone take your spot. Take the Warning and move on.

lol I think you need to reassess your priorities, seems unhealthy

good. stop going queing and going to take a crap or making food, sit at the menu like a normal person and stop expecting people to carry you in a round

Can't tell if this is a shetpost or not.

TLDR:if they are hitting players with temp bans upwards of 15 mins over being afk for two minutes on the FIRST OFFENSE, that's bad anti-leaver penalty design. AFK exists for a reason. If you are in the middle of a match, and you have to go and take a dump, and you come back and it says you got banned for being AFK for 2 mins, it’s like the developers saying: “you can ♥♥♥♥ when you close the game, until then, you WILL stay in-game for hours or however long the match takes, no excuses. I do not care if you have to take a dump, you will not move from your spot, because doing so is failing your team!”.

TS. Don't AFK during a match. Who you think you are? Someone special, who can leave a match any time they want and leave your team hanging?

Play single player games if your time management is THAT bad.

lol forgot it was a crime to want to play some competitive games while I have some free time. I play a tone of SP games when my friends aren’t on, for your information

Excellent the system works thanks for telling us.
