I just entered a game of Battle for Gilneas and 7 people on my team just sat at Lighthouse and AFK'd there.

They didn't even move around or do anything when the horde came to try and take it.

They just sat there doing nothing.

How can you report people AFK if over half of your team is AFK?

Ticket for griefing. They're adversely affecting your gaming in a negative fashion, and the in built report system is not effective enough to assuage your concerns.


The ingame system is far superior to a petition for this sort of thing. There are actually a few different ways to do this in a match.

The question still remains though if 7 out of 10 players in a BG are AFKing, making it difficult/impossible to reach number required to give them the Inactive Debuff, are those reports accomplishing anything or recorded?


The same could be said for the variety of 'bot' that manages to clear the debuff - but yes, every report counts even if they aren't removed from that immediate match.

The system to work, however, has to be used.
