I've been playing a lot of heroic strikes this weekend and I kid you not, probably 4/10 games I play someone either leaves right at the beginning, or is afk. I have video I recorded where someone put rubber bands on their thumbsticks so they wouldn't be kicked from the strike! (They were spinning in a circle).
Bungie needs to add an option to vote to boot someone who is afk and have a better replacement system for those who leave at the beginning. Many times I go a whole strike with two people and it never pairs a third in to finish it.
Also, if you leave a heroic strike I think you should be banned from entering the playlist for 15 minutes, and multiple offenses in a row results in a higher wait time. It is incredibly frustrating to finish Undying Mind or Dust Palace with only two people.
I have refilled myself.
EDIT: I can see how perhaps a two minute timer might be better. If the player doesn't move for two minutes like in crucible, the game removes them. However, they still need to have a system that fills the empty slots faster.

And people running ahead, I like to shoot everything because it helps with RNG. I cant stand when people run ahead and purposly kill themselves just to bring the fireteam foreward as if you're on their time its bullshit.
