Agreed about the AFK players. Got shafted with AFKers in 3 of 4 games yesterday.
I do have to admit that today I AFKed my team even without knowing. I was playing over phone service (non-wifi) and game froze on me. Didn't happen prior to the update, but freezes were noticeable now. But usually after a few seconds it synced me back in. My team had the upper hand, but once they were down to 2 vs 3, we lost. Afterwards I got the bad karma message. I felt so ashamed... like a dog that accidentally peed on the rug...lol.
Lesson learned... play over wifi/ good phone reception; not in the middle of a 3 story building. Some AFKs may be unintentional.
Get to level in the double digits and it doesn't effect you that much. I have started seeing less of them once I got to a higher level. If you do get one, don't sweat it and work with your teammate. I have won many games 2v3 and it is that much more satisfying (These were also teams that wanted to quit once it got a little hard). Don't quit as soon as the enemy team gets the Kraken too. The Kraken feeds you 500 gold once you take it out.
Also make sure you work on your builds to compliment your team and not just yourself.

sorry but lvl 14 here and still get so many afkers in games. Lately i've been running into teammates that seem to be at a much lower lvl skill wise.
Saw 0-9 Catherine 0-5 just now. I died once trying to save them.

taka is generally very squishy and can be killed quickly. Bringing a mine with you is real helpful since he has to get close to hit you. just pop one asap or hover around the mine while you are engaged in a fight. He shouldn't be able to be invisible for a few seconds after that. Flares are also useful as soon as he pops away.
In the higher rankings I'm finding that an AFK is a really harsh loss, one that has made me wish that a solution (other than just punishing the one player) would be found as 2v3 is still fine if the other team isn't too coordinated for a few minutes.
