Just do enough damage, then you can spectate or you can swap with each other. I do not know how much but just some hits should be enough. I was thinking that in 1 v 3 could be some situations that you struggle to get shots on your opponent or he she dominates too much. Can you get accidently punished?
Happend to me, when i just unequipped weapon for science. Struggled to land shots and even if did it was nothing.
I think it is a good method for afk punishment, it has its own flaws. Not ideal. But it my work well with punishment for lacking useful activity and then with actual afk punishment.
Your teammate was afk hence the system punished him for being afk
You seem like nice guys but the system doesn’t have feelings or context so if some object doesn’t do anything in a match it will detect it as inactivity and punish it.
Never do this again is just one meaningless match both teams will forget
