    There definitely should be a way to report floaters in game. Its nearly impossible for me to find players after matches.

    Floaters? If by that you mean afk players there is really not much you could do anyways
    I've found it pretty rare to see someone not try!

    I ever only really notice AFK players on the other team, never mine which I'm happy about! :p
    Although been in a few matches where my whole team will chase a random person down leaving 4 players to easily capture the target and win that way which is never fun.

    They should be punished for going afk in a 5 minute game. It puts your team in a losing situation immediately; that's not fair. They need to either lose more infamy, or get banned for a couple hours( like how it works in cs go).

    Well they do lose infamy because more then likely the team will lose
    Also a 5 minute ban on someone already afk won't hurt them

    This is a free to play Mobile game so tho I understand what your saying I just doubt anything could really be done about the problem!

    Not a 5 minute ban, like a couple hours ban. Making them lose more infamy is probably the best way to go.

    Ya that would make more sense I would like that! I have a feeling when you get to higher levels you won't even worry about that problem!

    Ehh, pretty sure there's always gonna be people who either did not realize they didn't have time to play, or are intentionally trying to drop to fight easier players, so they go afk.

    Punishing someone for being AFK is a bad idea. An emergency may have come up in their life and they have to leave to take care of it. They should only be punished if they do it consistently, not if they just do it once. Bad idea o_O

    Yeah I agree, maybe you're allowed 3 afks per week before you get banned for a couple hours. Having said that, every game is 5 minutes at max. If you don't think you have even 5 minutes, then don't press battle. Don't ruin the game experience for four other people just because you're greedy and want to squeeze in a game when you don't have time to. Don't be that person.

    Disagree. If the punishment is reasonable like extra infamy loss than an emergency situation which only happens rarely is no big deal. For frequent afk'ers it becomes a big deterrent.

    Well I like to keep my infamy and would rather not have more taken away after one incident. How would they determine who is a floater using an automated system anyway? Maybe they play for half the game then leave, or just don't move much throughout the game. It's easier to just let floaters be floaters.

    Its not a big problem at higher infamy levels - Sure it happens, but its both rare and about as likely to be on the other team.

    That being said, it shouldnt be too hard to track the true floaters - Zero input during a game fx.

    Well, then you have been fortunate. I had to stop playing this morning because in EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. I had at least three floaters... What's worse is that the floaters did not lose any infamy, but I killed 3 out of the four enemy teammates on my friggin on lost infamy. Lost over 200 infamy points. There is not a way to find someone to report them once you are out of the game.
