Why can't we report AFK bots?

mostly because blizzard need spend money to manage a team to judge if it afk botting or dude afk for 1 game

in other words no money gain so no money spend for a need thing

If we only spent money on things that earned us money, we’d be in a pretty bleak world. Quality assurance is important.
As for the ‘guy afk for a match’ vs a bot, that’s easy and I’ve explained it multiple times. A player who’s afk might get a few reports against him, but only accounts that get reported A Lot need the team’s attention, and an automated system can handle that. Ban accounts that get a high report ratio to games played, and a human can be paid to consider unfreezing accounts when the request is sent to them, 99% of which would likely be a bot requesting to be unfrozen and refused, since it likely had thousands of reports against it and a playtime of 22 hours a day or something crazy.

I’m guessing there must be a program out there they are all using

ya but that’s how blizzard works 90% of the time

A simple solution would be adding a time bank after the first rope. It’s a lot cheaper than hiring staff to review reports and doesn’t have the same negative concentration as reporting does.

What do you mean by ‘time bank’?

i never heard of a rule preventing us from reporting so i know the "cant report bots " part isnt true

Like in poker or other turn based games. For example after the first rope ends you just have a 15 second timer that counts down for the match (not the turn). If you surpass that time your booted from the match.

I believe that happens in casual, but not competitive, which is where bots reside.

It is same in Asia server. I have tried to report it via email, BN app and official forum, but no official replies.

Some players said “it is free win, what can you complaint?”
The answer is obv, because some people play game for fun, not for win.
BTW, what kinda people needs to prove himself by defeating a roping bot?
