Report AFK Function.

In what way?

Also lets say you want to stop premades from abusing it, you could make it so anyone in a group only has 1 vote that counts for the entire group. For instance a 6 man doesn't like a particular PUG in the other group even if all six vote yes to kick it only counts as 1 vote and 3 people from the other party would also have to vote yes.

I'm not saying it isn't possible to abuse it, but I think the amount of cases it would help a much would far far outweigh the cases where someone is wrongfully kicked from a match.

A report function that requires no evidence or doesn't have a GM on standby to port into the SC and investigate will just end up like dota 2's system, but instead of low priority you would receive an actual ban?

DPS archmages might struggle if votekick got introduced.

Or it would force them to play DPS AM properly ie not joining a party, refusing to heal etc... There are very good DPS AM's out there that play properly and do what they can to help the group the best they can.

The behavior displayed by some players who refuse to join a party a therefore do not receive group heals, group buffs, guard, and cannot perform those actions on other players honestly deserve to be kicked regardless of class.

And again, just because one person has a problem with someone that does not not mean they will get kicked, it requires a majority vote which in my experience playing games like CSGO means you have to be pissing off almost everyone for them to even bother voting let alone seeing it pass.

I hate players like that too. I just think this is like handing out torches and pitchforks to a crowd and hoping they'll be used in a responsible manner.

I wish they'd implement the AFK timer. If you are AFK in the spawn for 1-2 minutes, you get booted from the SC

Thats exactly what it is, the "only bad people will suffer it" is not even an argument, its just letting the players who already have no idea of how the game works deciding on who should be able to play scs and how.

while i agree with the statement, some ppl just dont see it that way

I strongly object to vote kick. In my experience of having it on our UT servers, it was only ever used abusively, never to remove someone breaking the rules.

If there is a problem with misconduct among players and not enough GMs to moderate, we should appoint more.

The problem is the trouble it takes to report an AFKer and providing sufficient evidence is imo never worth the effort. The one time I tried I had screenshots of them taunting us in sc saying he was afk and it wasn't enough... funny tho that person was eventually banned and I got to see the server message :^)

Why not just a vote kick system like most games have?

report AFK function would be impossible to police

Can be potentially abused either depending on player bias or premade bias.
