I cannot drink some water that game force me disconnect by inactivity and suspend my for some minutes in ranked. Garbage devs can fix this? I was even respawning (started 10sec and I went to drink water) and game kick me from comp match… Don’t matter because i’ve returned to the match and still got suspended. I love how OW2 is so bad developed:
- Many things breaking every season
- Many bugs in many maps that you must disable
- Paywall behind archives 2.0
- Garbage Inactivity Timer
Funny that I see other people who are stopped for ALMOST THE ENTIRE MATCH and not suspended much less are removed from the match…

Being spawn camped + AFK timer being a thing in spawn is the worst IMO. It’s not always our fault that we’re being spawn camped. Sometimes there’s a huge team-diff for whatever reason and everyone in your team keeps dying every 2 seconds.
In games like that, how are you supposed to get out of spawn if nobody in your team is alive to engage with you? The timer in spawn is effectively forcing you to play a respawn simulator in games like that.
This is why we need FF option.

I was literally joined in a QP just now and i was removed from match because i was AFK WHILE MY GAME WAS LOADING. After game loaded even i had left from spawn room and game still removed me. They inactivity detection is a trash.
Today early, i was capturing the point and happened same, while i was moving even capturing the point the game forced me to get out the match, this is a ridiculous.

drink some water outside of queue. Better time management is what you need if that’s too much of a problem to get water and getting afk kicked.

I was literally in respawn timer, i cannot move in 10 seconds…
Prob a glitch, or you went and got something while not moving for a period of time, got killed and that timer continued.
Is this something where you just got unlucky and afk kicked? Or is this something that happens to you sometimes?
In my years of overwatch and thousand plus hours-
I’ve been kicked all of zero times for being AFK

You do not get booted in these 10s situations you are describing. Its at least like 45s before people get booted. Plenty of time to drink some water.

Still a small time to consider someone afk. Sometimes even loading map i get kicked by “inactivity” while loading ranked match. So my guess how i can be in “inactivity” state since i don’t even joined the match yet.
45s is a very long time to be down a player.

Good. Don’t leave your computer while in a comp match. Don’t join a comp match if you aren’t ready to commit to playing it out and playing to win.

If you are AFK for 45 seconds in a competitive match, you are throwing.

Sounds like your computer is trash. How does it take more than 30 seconds to load a map? lol

So you’re the guy who cannot wait 10 seconds for a respawn timer and has to go do something else.
Holy hell.

I know right. I try do my best to don’t stop playing, because after OW2 the game become so heavy. I’m just waiting ABK acquisition ends to become ready to play on GeForceNOW since OW2 already have internal support for remote playing in PC version.
“Garbage devs” because you don’t how to do something as simple as get water before or after a match is done?
Really?
The timer was made exactly for people like you.

Agreed. I’ve had games snowball into losses from people walking out of span RIGHT before the inactivity timer- Completely missing the first fight or just losing ground in general.
I think it’s fair to ask the people who queue up for comp to be ready for it and to not complain if they ever get hit with the afk timer.
The game isn’t your mom and you should have things you need handy in a multiplayer gaming session if you can’t wait till the session is over.

Same, and not for lack of trying. I don’t think OP is honest AT ALL in saying it was merely water drinking. If you can’t stick around for a 2 minute queue to play on time with your team, you don’t deserve to stay. Sometimes it feels like some people queue up, go make a sammich, or do a number 2. You know, things that would often times take much longer than the short queue times in this game.
They’re a burden, cuz they make us wait for the backfill shorthanded.
