Battlegrounds duos needs report AFK!

Getting paired with someone who just afks at the start of the game is terrible. I have no chance to win and if I forfeit I lose rating and they don’t which rewards their behavior. If I stay in the game and wait to lose I actually lose more rating than if I just forfeit. This is ridiculous. there needs to be a way to report partner AFK! Make it clear if they take literally any action if you need to… but this is ridiculous.

Sometimes the game crash at the start or during some turns
Sometimes when i get dc at turn 2 and lost 4 mana i just go to do other stuff,
Was the whole game afk? or just a moment

100% this.
I watch my rank in 6000 go down more than up because of people who afk, or purposfully lose the game for our team in duos.
There is no repercussion for people doing this. I second the need for the ability to report afk or toxic teammates. I love duos when I get to actually play with someone who cares but me bleeding out rank points because other players are screwing me over is ruining it.

I am glad I found somone else ahead of me for this topic in the forum. We are just two fish in the sea but come onnnnn.

If a player doesnt make ANY moves in two turns they should have a warning box that pops up and says they are about to give X of their rank to their teammate. If they do not click the box on that turn BOOOM it yeets them and you dont lose anything. For the trash players that will still tick this box and AFK it should open up the ability to report them for toxicity.

I don’t understand why anyone would play the mode without a dedicated partner at this point. It’s widely established that pugging it sucks, but here we are with people still shocked that the predictable outcomes happen.

my teammate i gave a scarab too reborned a rylak when they were not doing a battlecry build instead of a golden parrot, then refused to use the parrot on the dino that deals 1 dmg to their trygore, it made zero sense

The whole purpose for the forum is to post in hopes that blizzard will care enough to look at it’s player base and work improvements. Why not make duo a better experience for random teams?

Not everyone has an online friend to duo with 24/7.

What is more predictable is that blizzard will not care or see this message but in the end this is still a space to air grievances after society drops a fat duece on your forehead.

I guess installing a Breathalyzer into BG duo that stops drunktards from gaming is out of the question.

No one from blizzard is here unless someone flags your post and even then it’s not anyone related to design. You might as well put a message in a bottle and ship it off for as likely as you are to get through here.

Reddit and X are your best options for getting it heard by someone that cares.

Which is why solo is still a thing.

Because it wasn’t made for pugs.
