Re: The AFK timer kicks players that are spectating matches in HS
Yes, some players told me about this BUG, although I didn't experience it yet. But yeah, it makes no sense to be kicked for being afk while you can only expectate

I was waiting in GA for a hero to become available for play and got booted for inactivity. Is that a bug? It made sense at the time but i was bumbed out cause i saved all my battle points to play as a hero for once only to get kicked.
I don't think that is a bug, @Centennialpigon! When you wait in the spawn screen, the game doesn't know why you are waiting and thus kicks you from the match. When you are waiting for a hero slot to open up, you are voluntarily waiting in the spawn menu. So when the message of "inactivity detected, kicks in ..." shows up, you can still spawn and go on in the match.
In Hero showdown, however, players are not voluntarily waiting. They cannot spawn because they are waiting for the match to end by spectating the teammate.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification. So, what happened to me is normal, and not what you are posting about?
