Leoric AFK Expliot

In a Quick Match a player choose to play Leoric to afk the match. He sat just outside the towers and afk’d while the Leoric would auto attack minions to keep him in the game. When he was killed (farmed) by the other team Leorics trait would allow him to just spawn right were he died and continue to auto attack minions and get farmed. This allowed him to afk without getting kicked from the game. We had to kill the incoming minions, and defend him to get him to dc. He came back into the game a while later, played 5 min and did it again.

That’s not an exploit or bug, that’s just a jerk AFK’ing. Even a Medivh player can just stay in air indefinitely and collect globes to avoid getting kicked out.

Or a Deathwing player can just throw a Skyfall on a minion every 1 minute for 20 mins to grief his team.

Are they are able to do this without any input from the player?

If so, I don’t see how it can be considered not a exploit when they are able to avoid getting kicked out without doing anything. That is a pretty easy way for a player to screw their team.

If he was not actually AFK but still making Leo attack, then sure, it is just a case of being a troll, and there is not much devs can do about that during a game. But hopefully everyone reported them for non-participation, in which case Blizzard can do something to them.
