I don't know if this has been brought up before

but please revert the tank change. I'm tired of getting spored
by Z who feed their festors off AFK terrans (another big issue)
and having no way to deal with them because public lobbies are
the way they are with 5% WR terrans. The new tank is fun and
all, but when you need to sink 4k energy into stasis then
another 4k into tanks just to kill 1 spore when Z can just
replant them immediately... what the fuck.
If you want to keep the idea of a "hero (without exp bar) tank"
in the game, then please just let it have an alternate attack
that costs a fraction of the energy (maybe 400... not sure where
that number came from) with shorter cooldown or a charge system
if the tank is in a certain area of base so we can at least deny
spores.
Something's gotta change between giving new players a proper
tutorial or (ideally and) having a fucking AFK detector. MrFuzzy
and Destroyer (in NA) always join a lobby to just do nothing and
feed festors. If the AFK asshole is moving something every so
often, then allow a majority vote to kick players.
In case you don't follow the forums actively, there's a
transparent "/s" in the post title.

votekick leads to so many problems you never thought of. imagine
there are 4 afks but very weak zergs so you dont really want to
leave. but then you started to call the afk'ers words, they get
upset and votekick you. Or maybe even worse you carried last
game and called your afk mates that got carried by you idk words
**** or whatever and you will get votekicked by the former zergs
that have a hateboner on you because of that. i wouldnt want
randoms to have the power to deny me play.. ggwp

That's very valid. I don't remember which map had it, but I
remember playing a map which only allowed vote kicking if
someone has been inactive for X minutes, which means that AFK
trolls can't just start game then go do whatever. They'd need to
keep checking the game. And even then, if the person were
dedicated enough, I think after N afk warnings it should be fair
game to just kick them whenever. If that doesn't work then I
don't think further mechanisms will be worthwhile.
I think that should address the issue of being voted out because
you're a toxic teammate and not because of gameplay.
Another tangential issue but I think kicking should be allowed
if an ally is intentionally feeding animals. I've lost very
saturated bases and even then I didn't trigger the global
warning. I've yet to encounter a situation where the global feed
lock was triggered without direct intent. Of course, these are
anecdotes so do with it what you want.
