Hi everyone,
We’ve all been there: a sudden phone call, someone at the door, or a minor domestic emergency. Since the game doesn’t have a pause feature, even a one-minute absence can lead to your character dying and your team losing the match.
I propose adding an “AFK/Safe Mode” button in the Escape menu. Here is how it should work:
-
Smart AI Control: Once activated, a bot takes over your hero. This AI should play in a “Maximum Survival” mode. It should be aware of enemy skill ranges and cooldowns, staying out of danger zones and avoiding any unnecessary damage.
-
No Immunity to Rules: Using this mode shouldn’t exempt the player from responsibility. The bot’s actions should not count as player activity, meaning the AFK timer will continue to tick. This prevents people from abusing the system to stay in the game indefinitely.
-
Goal: The main objective is to let a player step away for 30–60 seconds without being a “sitting duck” and giving the enemy team a free kill.
This small addition would greatly reduce frustration for both the person who has to step away and their teammates.
If you think this would make the game less stressful, please upvote so the developers can see it!
