This thread is ONLY about people who have a stable ping in game but are not moving for an extended period of time after the game started.
In solo queue I rarely have a game in which the entire team is ready to go from the start.
I don't mind people that take 30 sec to start moving although even this delay might mean certain death for an assault on HPG/Skirmish when the other team pushes the single lance.
What I do mind are people who are actually in the game but are away for 5-10 min and just start to move when the team is already dead. This is especially likely when the AFK guy is an assault which was missing from the team.
What I want to have is a penalty for being AFK (=no keyboard/mouse inputs) for an extended period of time. For every 10 sec BEYOND the first minute AFK the perpetrator should be punished with 1 minute matchmaker delay just like the one when doing team damage.
This means if you are 5 min AFK after a match started (which is atrocious) you have to wait 24 minutes to get the next game.
Taking the loading time into account and worst case roster wait time one might have been away for something like 10 min already for 5 min in-game AFK time.
If somebody wants to take a 10 min break then FFS don't press the match button or cancel searching when leaving the PC.
And don't come up with the bloody excuse "searching takes so long".
Searching takes a long time for many players but this doesn't mean you are allowed to fock up other peoples games on purpose that might have searched even longer than you.
