Reminder: Report the AFKs

I just got off an easy win where the enemy team had an AFK. I basically got most of my frags from running to enemy spawn and backstabbing the AFK.

The enemy team asked us to report him, but I didn't because the AFK was helping us win. My teammates were trashtalking and I found it funny.

In the end, the enemy surrendered and I got some easy RR.

Karma must exist in some form, because next game, well I GOT THE AFK PLAYER. Same dude, same instalock Reyna.

Well lets just say its not as funny when you're the one who has the AFK.

I knew from the get-go he was going to AFK. He just walked forward against a wall and stared at the wall. I messaged all chat, asking the enemy team to report my AFK, and lo and behold, the enemy team trash talked and laughed at us. One of my teammates eventually got into an argument with the enemy top frag, because my teammate believed that we could win if we didn't have an AFK, while the enemy top frag trash talked us and told us to derank so we won't waste his time.

We got shitstomped. We didn't surrendered, and lost 1-13. I lost more ratings than I gained.

So yes, report your AFKs no matter what team they're on. Do us all a favor, and don't be stupid like me.

Would my report have added anything? Maybe not. But if it had gotten the Reyna temporarily banned from ranked, I'd probably have a better chance of getting a proper 5v5.

TLDR: REPORT ALL AFKS! DON"T LET THEM RUIN GAMES IN GENERAL, REGARDLESS OF WHICH TEAM THE AFK IS ON!
