What can we do, if anything, when a member who queues is just AFK?
My tank, for the first three (3) rounds is completely AFK. No activity of any kind, they stand in place at spawn and lose 3x rounds. They way the swapping worked out, I stayed on his team and lost all 3 rounds as a consequence. Round four (4) he decides to play, and he is on enemy team, we lose.
It doesnât seem there is a course of action for players to take in this situation. I decided to leave and take the full penalty. Iâm already at 0/4; it seems wildly unfair for others to benefit off this personâs inactivity for three (3) rounds.
We need a way to report AFK players in shuffle. Additionally, if you take zero actions in a round, no damage, heals, etc., you should just be removed the match and given leaver penalty.

that show how irrelevant is pvp for blizz devs, and is really sad to think that I already preorder the next expansion so there is nothing I can do

oh nvm im an idiot i swapped specs
I have an issue with the rewards when a player leaves early. Currently I am receiving no conquest points for those. I have had 2 games in a row where someone leaves right before the last round, and it sucks to lose out on that conquest.
I donât like the rating system in the context of leavers, either. Itâs super frustrating to have won a few rounds and then have someone leave and not get credit for any of the wins.
Here is my devilâs advocate thought as to why they might not have immediately jumped to changing the system to reward people incrementally when someone leaves:
Rating in general works on a team mmr that is calculated each time players are assembled in the shuffle. Just like in normal arenas, the result of these mmrs can lead to matches that give very few points in a win and a lose a lot of points in a loss. I.e. how you can win 5, lose 1 and still lose rating or not gain very much rating. As frustrating as the situation is when you are up and donât get anything, it will also be frustrating when youâre the one who has queued with the person who left more (who is more likely to have lost), and didnât yet get the chance to make up those lost rounds with the other players. Nobody getting anything sucks, but it will also suck to go 0-2 with a griefer or very inexperienced player and lose a bunch of points arbitrarily. I donât know that only rewarding people who were a net + and leaving the ones who would be at a net - after a leave is a perfect solution, either. Someone is always going to get a shorter end of that stick.
after playing solo shuffle on live tanks taking a healer spot is really cringe. devs have said many times the game is balanced around 2 dps 1 heals when balance tuning for pvp

I hope the change that brings rating loss for leaving actually works (solo shuffle hotfixes havenât been 100% accurate thus far) because the current state of this game mode is atrocious. 6 of my last 7 queues have ended early cause of a leaver. Hours wasted to gain 288 rating on a fresh CR alt, none for the main, and only a sour feeling leftover.

I got lucky on my Hunter, jumped in a match won and ended up w/ 300 rating and havnât done a match since. Once there is a 6 round rating hit for early quit people will stop. Itâs pretty simpleâŚif they have more to lose by leaving then stayingâŚthey will stay or not queue to begin with.
Funny enough I had someone quit a non-rated Solo Shuffle earlier today when I was trying to get a weekly done on this MonkâŚ
Just won 3 of 6 rounds and got no credit for seasonal mount reward. Was getting it yesterday for winning 3 of 6 rounds , 1400 or so ratting

Interesting. Which map was this on?
Tanks need to either be removed, or take a dps spot
Tanks taking a healer spot will kill rated solo shuffle in dragonflight

Well the good news is that gear is finally able to be upgraded from solo shuffle rating, but bad news is that people are still leaving games all the time, hope the penalties are happening and are stacking on them⌠wait to see if it will start to sink in or if the new penalties arenât harsh enough, hope it works out bros

After a few leaves you should started getting solo ranked bans honestly. something like 5 leaves=1 day or something like that. Then it gets worse more you leave after etc. Idk I qued some games tonight on solo and played 4 games and have a leaver in 3 of the 4 games. Its really annoying
Still not fixed. Canât upgrade gear and itâs not counting towards Vault progress. Also not receiving any rating.

Sooo⌠when exactly is this supposed to happen? Rated solo shuffle has been a disaster.
Apparently, if you just type /camp or /afk - you leave a shuffle without even getting a deserter or 6 losses even on NA.
I think it should not be that hard to fix it
Was this ever answered anywhere? Several times I have won 4 of six over 1400 rating and did not receive progress toward the mount, and sometimes win 3 of 6 around same rating and do. Anyone know how progression works?

The remaining players need to gain rating based on the matches won, because is clear that is someone is gonna leave is because he/she was getting the 0-6 anyway but the rest of us need something to compensate for our wasted time and the effort we put into the match
