Is the DC penalty players get if they are AFK a shadow patch or unintented? Possibly a way to force bots into the match?

    While I am not a moderator or developer, if this is a new thing, I am 100% okay with it.

    If you are afk and not contributing, then yes. You SHOULD get kicked, suffer a DC penalty, and be replaced with a bot. Had an emergency? I get it, I do. But still, if you are just going afk rather than suffer a DC penalty, that is not cool. Being as how there is no way for them to know the reason you went AFK, they have to treat all AFK players the same.

    everyone has reasons to go afk, something happen, no one minds when the killers afk, but a survivor? Sure I get it but like nothing can be done about it, so you wanna punish the players that may have had their controllers die or god forbid we get that PlayStation bug back that didn’t allow players to move. If this is actually a thing that people are getting dc penalty for afking then that’s ridiculous.
