Vote to Kick in Casual has gone too far. I am getting kicked out of games and 1.) I don't know who is starting the vote kicks in the first place. 2.) I don't know the reason as to why I am getting kicked in the first place and while sometimes it might be clear, (4 stack bullying me) other times, I just get kicked for the dumbest of reasons.

I would like for some changes to vote to kick and they wouldn't be too much, just things this game needs in order to stop people from constantly vote to kicks in the first place.

1.) When someone initiates the vote to kick, the person who is getting kicked can see the name of the person who initiates the vote to kick. this way, if the vote to kick fails, it will be easy to know who is trying to grief people with the system and if you happen to be recording your gameplay and you do get kicked, you will still be able to report a person for griefing you.

2.) When the person wants to kick you, they must give a specific reason from a list of reasons that ubisoft can generate that explains why you are being kicked. so instead of just the generic, You have been kicked from the match, you instead have that plus the reason for why you were kicked. this way, you, the person who is getting kicked will know immediately if the people kicking you are just being *******s or not. Getting kicked while you are loading into a game and the reason for you being kicked is just a simple, "This Player is being toxic." Will make the kickers look bad.

These 2 changes will at least help to curb some of the current vote to kicking madness people have been complaining about and also overhaul an important system that can help developers tell who is being toxic and who is not. Also I would people to know if I don't have chat on so a simple text bubble with a no cross sign on it next to my name on the scoreboard will definitely be helpful because I just want to play without seeing text chat sometimes so I don't know if the person who is shooting at me is trying to tell me to drop the defuser or not.

Hey Luck, thanks for sharing your Vote to Kick experience with us, I appreciate it.

There has been a lot of these reports, unfortunately. It seems like some stacked teams are taking advantage of having numbers in the lobby to kick players for seemingly no reason. It's not all stacks that do it, but it's frustrating to see this has become a thing. The VtK system is meant to remove toxic players, cheaters/griefers. How often do you encounter this? The idea of removing Vote to Kick has been tossed around the forums a bit, however, my only concern with removing that would be those legit players who are using the feature as intended won't have the option to use it anymore.

I do like your idea of players elaborating a bit more on why they're choosing to Kick someone, however, I don't see anything there that would stop them from selecting a random reasoning so they can kick someone. Our team takes toxic behavior very seriously, which is why the Reputation System is being put in place.
