Lol win

Don't know how this work, but great!

If players stop playing and abandon a match multiple times, they will now sooner be put in deserter queue with other players who afk to help let the players who don't afk enjoy the game more with hopefully less abandoners.

Aha, fantastic! The Vain Glory sorting system is shaping up very well. Love you guys! ⭐️

How about an Early Surrender option that kicks in 60 seconds after a player goes AFK? More than a minute sitting at your home base (once your health reaches maximum, or you respawn) is a good indication of AFKness, for whatever reason.

It's a waste of time to play 2 on 3 against a good team while you're waiting for the surrender clock to run, not to mention very frustrating.

I'd also like to suggest an almost logarithmic scale for penalizing AFKers. One or two times, meh; stuff happens. Three or four, begin penalties. As more accumulate, pile on the penalties rapidly.

Why would I penalize frequent AFKers so severely? They waste my time, which has value. Also, I've done WAY too many games with AFKers and PUGtards (Pick Up Group ******s) who refuse to surrender despite NO chance of victory.

Here's my two cents:

I feel like going AFK at times when someone on my team is not being a team player or has low VG IQ and we're losing because of it, all the while they refuse to surrender while we're forced to play a losing game.

However, it's good to know these rules as it provides me with a guideline of how to **** around while still 'participating' when I'm teamed with another *******.

Early surrender button sounds good ^

Having just played two matches essentially by myself against full-teams, this is very important to me. Thank you for addressing this.

When players go AFK for more than a minute, why not split their share of the gold among the other players, so we have a shot at least? I always prefer to keep going, even against the odds. It's fun to frustrate (and even defeat) teams that have the upper hand, especially in 2on3 battles.

That said, when two players drop out during game-time, there's really no chance of survival, let alone a possible win. Reaping their gold could make a huge difference.

Add option to surrender will solve AFK!
