This happened twice to me today , my teammate was afk for 4 turns only to come online after and not concede, so infuriating.
Genuinely asking because I don’t know how duos work
What do you gain from your teammate conceding ?
You no longer lose ranks, but the one conceding loses extra -50 MMR
so gaming the system is encouraged by design~~
If the outcome genuinely matters to you, why are you playing with random partners?
You are besides the point, as I said it’s an infuriating experience and no one should have to go through that. I was not asking for alternatives, thanks.

How is giving you a solution so you never have to endure the experience again beside the point?
You have complete control over this issue.
You didn’t give me a solution, you gave an alternative, I like queueing with randoms, this issue does not come up often, but when it does it’s infuriating. blizzard can easily implement that quality of life feature and there is no reason for them not to. I made this post to bring awareness to this issue not to try to find a way around it.

I am currently at 6500 mmr and troll teams are non-existent…
I recommend dont try to command your partner
I’ve done the throwing thing myself for that reason alone with annoying people…

How is it not a solution if the problem goes away?
I find it disconcerting that you would advocate that others should be punished because you are unwilling to do something differently.
People are aware of it, and those that are bothered by it do not use the random queue to play the mode.
Stopping to soloQ is not a solution to get a better soloQ experience
Otherwise, self-terminating would be the perfect solution to all problems in life
They want them to be punished for bad behavior
It’s not because you stop seeing the problem that the problem doesn’t exist anymore
But I guess you’re the “Let them eat cake” kind

No one told anyone to play solo, though.
Deciding you are done playing a game is not “bad behavior” by any metric.
When you agree to play the mode with a random partner, you are signing up for whatever you get. Sometimes, you will get trash.
Again, the problem is 100% preventable by the original poster simply owning their role and making different choice.
Expecting someone else to change things that are within your control is a sign of immaturity.
And how is that relevant ? No one told you to live, so are you gonna jump from a bridge if your life is hard ?
You see, the thing is that when you start a game, you engage yourself in playing said game
There’s an appropriate time for you to decide that you’re done playing : not during play
Deciding that you’re done playing mid-game AND stop playing mid-game, while other players rely on your participation, is a bad behavior
Try to do that in ANY real-life multiplayer game and see how others will react. You may encounter some tolerance at first, but do that a bit more often and you won’t find much people willing to play with you
trash =/= troll =/= AFK
One of these is a skill issue, the others 2 are behavioral issues
ignoring a problem doesn’t prevent it from existing
So what exactly are you talking about ?
What is OP trying to change that is within their control ?
Because the only thing that they are asking to change is to punish AFK players, which is not something under their control 
Unless you forgot the topic while escaping reality

Because my friends and I have lives to live and families to provide for so our schedules dont often line up when i have enough down time for a game or three of bgs.
It is relevant in that your entire premise upon which you predicated your response was a strawman, a point that was not made.
The choice was not solo or duo, it was do not enter a duo queue without a partner.
And all three are solved by the same choice - know your partner in advance.
All kinds of things exist that do not affect us when we do not engage them.
I am simply noting that people who join a team mode by themselves should not be upset or dismayed by getting random quality partners.
Fixing this is not a blizzard issue nor should it be.
SoloQ does not mean solo mode
It means queuing solo in a team mode
You’re the one making a strawman by deflecting the main topic and assuming that every one has the possibility to always play with a premade teammate
And saying that the problems you don’t engage into are not problems that should be solved is incredibly narcicist
That guy hits all of his girlfriends ? Don’t become his girlfriend, problem solved
That guy is a robber ? Don’t own anything valuable, problem solved
That guy is a serial killer ? Don’t get close to him, problem solved
Very efficient, you should suggest your methodology to the police academy
It’s not because you play with someone you don’t know that randomly stopping play is acceptable
Just because it’s not in real life doesn’t mean you can forget sportsmanship
Big multiplayer team game companies disagree with you
Riot enforcing their anti-afk and anti-troll policies and detection system just to name one of them
If we follow your logic of “that’s what you engaged into, don’t complain about it”, should we also stop complaining about actual cheaters when we encounter them ?
If you engage yourself in a game where it’s possible to cheat, don’t complain about it ?
So literaly don’t complain about anything bad that can happen because you put yourself in a situation where something bad can happen ?
Comparing the choice to play a game to partner abuse or crime is disgusting.
People play the mode all day without issue. If you and the other person have this problem frequently, stop playing. It is most likely a you problem at this point.
I really do not have anything more to say on the topic in general or to you specifically.

It’s true, in LoL, for example, you get auto-dced after 2 minutes and then it’s game over for you, your team gets to early surrender and they lose only half of what they’d normally lose, while the leaver loses 100% more
That’s how it should be. Plenty of better ways to deal with overcontrolling teammates. Such as ignoring, lol.
