Dear Blizzard and fellow players,
I am creating this topic in the hopes that enough positive feedback will draw the attention of blizzard to look into their AFK timer detection systems within Heroes of the Storm. As of now, the system promotes AFK behaviour by having long timers (Don’t know the exact timer, but it seems to be around 150 secs, before the player is being replaced by an AI?)
There is no valid reason to be AFK during the entirety of a game, except for emergencies. However, emergencies are generally not fixed within 150 seconds, thus should not be taken into consideration as a valid reason. Therefore, in my opinion the replacement of an AFK player should happen within a maximum time frame of 60 seconds.
Best Regards to you all,
Fernandesz
