Why is it such a hard concept for people to understand? When you AFK for "just one round", you are giving the enemy team free momentum and econ that carries into future rounds, which snowball on top of each other to create even more momentum and econ advantage. You can very easily cause your team a loss that they would have otherwise won handily by going AFK for a single round.

​

I don't care if you are up 9-3 at the half. You go AFK on pistol, causing your team to lose. Enemy team now gets free bonus. Now it's 9-5. Enemy now has momentum and confidence. They win bonus, get free rifles, now it is 9-6. You have to save another and now it is 9-7 on a defender sided map, enemy has max money and full kit, and you have 1 chance to full buy before you have to save again. Your team's mental is probably now in the gutter, and there is a 95% chance someone is yelling at someone else for messing up. Congrats, you have now turned what should have a blowout win into a close game, or a loss. All because you couldn't wait another 5 minutes to put your "nuggies" into the microwave
