Is anyone experience a large uptick in the amount of players abusing the new Vote to Kick system? It seems like every fourth match or so I'm seeing at least one player actively dying/ruining the game by shooting, or throwing grenades/mortars, at teammates. Previously the team could just kick them to remove the hassle, but now they're untouchable because as long as they're not AFK they get a free pass.
