Didn’t know where exactly to put this, but it seemed like a bug when it happened, so I figured it fit here.
So I was playing a competitive game today. The match was fairly even, and the enemy team managed to capture the final drug sample with 14-ish seconds left on the clock. Someone on our team ended up rage quitting before the end of the match. We switch sides, 2 of the other people on my team quit out, and then the last guy afks. I figure I might as well wait for people to join, because the game was still telling me I’d be penalized if I quit out. So I’m running around while the game waits for players, having melee fights with the other team, when all of a sudden the match starts. Nobody had joined, and that guy was still afk. I don’t know why the game decided to start the round anyway, but I was thrust into a 1v5 on the attacking side. Despite my pleas, the enemy team would not limit themselves to their melee weapons, and I couldn’t votekick the afk guy in order to remove the leave penalty. He ended up either disconnecting or getting kicked later, and at that point I disconnected as well, and was greeted with the penalty warning. I’m unsure if I got a penalty or not, but I definitely don’t deserve one after I stuck around to wait for players and even attempted to fight the 1v5 (I managed to repair the EV, but that’s about it).
tl;dr: Had three people quit out and one afk at the end of a comp round, and the next round began anyway, despite telling me I’d be penalized if I left the game.
I don’t have pictures, unfortunately, as I closed the game immediately after, too disgusted at my spineless teammates to stomach another match.
