I’d report this behaviour.
I’ve managed to win several games like this.
Robot at the door and full time remaining.
Those are the most satisfying to win.
Being afk is reportable as gameplay sabotage. You play a dangerous game when you do that.
If you feel that it’s unwinnable, play a “silly” hero. Play a character that’s fun even if you’re really bad at them.
sorry for the double reply btw. The later one appearently needed moderator approval before being posted. Not sure what words triggered that.
I’m suprised it got approved so quick btw. I have had posts wich had to wait for like 2 weeks before some moderator approved them.
Yeah the thing is if you do that people will see it as you throwing the game anyway. So might as well throw.
Not as much as afk:ing
At least you’ll be playing and people appreciate when backfills at least try.
That depends on the kind of mess you get backfilled into. there are backfill games wich can indeed be salvaged. but thats like 1 out of 20 backfill games. The others simply are a lost cause where nothing you do will matter
An saying people dislike that less than afking is untrue. playing a "silly"hero will get you mre toxicity than actually afking. Because they will assume you are trolling.
Do people really have an issue with picking a hero you don’t play to mess about and maybe learn in quick play?
Honestly, if there’s a bot or a payload at the door, a junkrat is a good choise even if people generally call playing him throwing.
If a backfill stands afk in spawn, it’s more likely to get angrily reported than if they pick any hero and at least try to shoot towards the enemies.
And who knows in qp? For all anyone knows you might have a thousand hours on the trolly hero. Less people care about your choise than you think.
It only matters that you at least look like you tried.
Just rushing to the point even if you get immediately deleted makes people happier than just emoting in spawn.
