Played two games in a row with Chako and in both he died within ~2 minutes then went AFK for the rest of the match. These players should get permanent bans. I do not care how much it shrinks the player base. The amount of players that do this make it impossible for the few dedicated fans of the game to enjoy themselves.

Hey gamers,

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.
