another question, will mods be switched up every now and then like in previous seasons or no?
Decay hasn't been activated yet - we'll most likely set it active some time mid June. Three-day limit may also get extended, we'll be announcing more details once decay system is active.
you shouldnt get a penalty for being afk first round, sometimes i forget to turn matchmake off when i go get something to drink or eat and next thing i see is that i get a 1.9 point penalty over a stupid mistake.
im pretty sure a handful of other people have went through the same thing.
