akanna Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think it would be really helpful to have a votekick option on teams, so you can vote as a team to get rid of feeders or AFK people. Ironsights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
residente Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 -kickafk yes, but -votekick "name" no, I hate feeders, and people who refuse to listen, they should be kicked but no, I sitll think everyone deserve learn this game, if I were votekicked when I started SotIS I would never learn the game and I would not be here right now...

Doom Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think that if you have 0 apm for a certain amount of time (15 or so minutes) you should be automatically kicked. You still lose rating, albeit not so much. ShadowFlame and Ironsights 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicMelon Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 i agree there should be an option of this kind, but people could easily abuse it in many ways, so it would be tricky to design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aellectris Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 This has been suggested a lot. It will not be implemented because it would be abused. In addition, I don't think there's an easy way to auto-kick afkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neogeo Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 5 min afk timeout for example. votekick no, thats not good - first, every player begins a game, thats pub and second that would make to much flaming and bad atmosphere.

xSEnergy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think at least for a compromise kick afk players should definitely be kicked. kicking trolls is debatable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akanna Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 For what its worth both are very implementable -votekick "name" could bring up a vote screen and the rest of the team could vote just like on surrenders (only you need everyones approval for it to succeed), this is the best of all worlds because you can remove trolls, feeders, and afk people. auto kicking afk chars can easily be setup using the trigger "character idle" in the editor, and a counter to see how long they have been idle. I dislike relying on auto kicking and think votekick would be more reliable, but its still an option As for the comments that votekick would be abused, I feel like its not abuse to want to get rid of someone that is 0-11-0 or something like that and not showing any signs of improving. I am not saying people shouldn't be allowed to learn, because you can spend all the time you want trying to help explain the game to them (you have the option to veto the votekick if you think they can be taught), but if someone isnt listening, or is purposely trolling and dying, and is screwing your team over your team should have the option to vote on booting them. There is nothing broken or abusable about wanting a fair game, and feeders/trolls are an unfair handicap. There is a HUGE difference between someone that is willing to learn and take tips from the team, and someone that just plain doesnt listen and rushes in dying till the game ends feeding the enemy carrys until they become nigh unkillable. You should help the former and votekick the later. Its not that hard to play defensive and tower hug and or only attack with a partner if you are new to keep your deaths down... so explain to me how its fair to the rest of the team to fight super fed carrys bc a newbie refuses to listen to reason?

Eliwan Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 The feature has been implemented in a game called "Pobes VS Zeelot". In the game, as soon as anybody starts letting the Zealot attack their wall [even if they have missile turrets] the people vote-kick the person in question [for no reason other than the fact that the Zealot attacked them]. So no, no stupid votekick. Afk-kick; yeah sure-- as long as the team that the player in question is on gets a majority vote for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yeah auto afk kicks are no good, and vote kicks would be abused, but a team based afk kick would be so useful... at least once a day when I play theres someone whos just afk all game long on a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
