When a teammate buys you, if you sell it back, your teamate will most of the time not get their money refunded. The fact that this is still an issue is mind boggling. How hard of a fix can this be???

External link →We are aware of this issue, and while it may not land in the current patch, we're trying our best to get it fixed in an upcoming one!
Will there be a hotfix or something for it or do you mean patch 2.1?
We likely won't hotfix this, so a patch like 2.1.
First off, I really appreciate Riot's interaction with the community and the fact that you guys patrol the sub answering questions and informing us, thanks for all your hard work.
My question is, why not just disable the refunding mechanic until it's fixed? Econ is a huge aspect of both CSGO and Valorant, and it doesn't make sense to leave this feature in the game in its current state, especially in competitive.
Is it something that's become so intertwined with other code that there's no way to "switch" it off until fixed?
This has been an issue ever since the mechanic was introduced so I'm surprised it hasn't been disabled yet if there's no fix.
Truth be told, we had this on our radar for a while as well, and weren't able to make time to investigate it until recently.
As for hotfixing/switching it off before the next patch: It's a little bit nuanced; we don't want to introduce a lot of issues into a potential change in the game that we aren't able to test more thoroughly. We're trying to make our releases more stable, so we're afraid a change like that may have some other consequences. That applies to both disabling this and fixing in a hotfix now.
