So the attach screenshot shows 4 players in a HC match that clearly just aren't playing and developers think this is a good idea to pool everyone into HoTH? Is there going to be something done to address this??

Reposting my comment from a different thread:

Managing AFK players is a top priority right now and we've got a few things in the works to address it. Very soon we'll be giving players the option to start a surrender vote so you can get out of bad matches and into your next game as quickly as possible.

We're also looking at ways to disincentivize the behavior to begin with, but we're still finalizing the design on this front so I don't have a ton of detail to share. Making sure AFK players don't earn rewards is an obvious step, as is making sure that habitually afk players are penalized for doing so.
