So after avoiding Spvp for a while due to the overwhelming sense of deja vu every single game (aka 6 thieves 2 warriors 2 guardians and my poor engineer every game) I decided to have a few games today. I just hit quick join, something I am sure a lot of people who are not really that serious about PvP do and after 5 games not a single one of them was even close.

The problem was simple, 4 out of the 5 games ended being 6v3 or 7v5 because of players AFKing in the spawn. This obviously stops it from being auto-balanced.

BTW I was glad to see that 3 of the thieves had been replaced with D/D eles, at least we have 4 classes being used now.

Now obviously this is not an issue in tournaments and more serious games, but for the casual user who just plays a few games it really gets old quick. I dont know how long someone has to be afk before they are kicked but it definitely needs to be much shorter.

I’ve been running d/d ele after I realized that s/d damage was in a bad place (some time ago shortly after release). I have been noticing a large increase in d/d eles though. Seen some s/d eles too.
People must think this is wow but without afk kick. You don’t get anything for being afk so I don’t know why they do it. Must have a lot of time on their hands. Or they are the opposite of people who leave fights to not lose their win streak.
