In a recent match, one of our support players was AFK from the start. The game auto-assigned them Kiriko, but they did not purchase any items or powers from the armory or move from the spawn area. They remained idle until they were kicked by the AFK timer. Despite this, the match was not cancelled, and the rest of the team received the standard 2-minute leaver warning.
Expected Result:
If a player is AFK from the beginning of the match and does not interact (e.g., no purchases, no movement), the match should be automatically cancelled to avoid penalizing the rest of the team.
Actual Result:
The match continued with one team effectively down a player, and the AFK player was only removed after the AFK timer expired. The match was not cancelled, and a leaver warning was shown to our team

Literally the exact same thing just happened to me. Someone afk and it gave them kiri and they never moved, chose abilities or powers, and dc’ed from inactivity yet it registered it as a mid-game leave where we have to wait to leave without penalty but still lose points. Gotta love our small indie game

Yeah it depends on how long the game is running, which seemingly changes. I’ve had quick ends to matches and matches that ended after someone left 2 minutes in.
Oh, another post about this. Replying for visibility, happened to me too. Didn’t see another post about it when I first posted.
just happened to me and replying so this gets more attention. they need to fix this with ending matches with those afk’s.
Happened a few times now. Doesn’t matter how quick they leave the game just continues and expects you to keep playing
