Please despawn players if they are disconnected after a round ends.

I have no idea how Valorant handles its AFK system in-game. However, I have had NUMEROUS experiences in which players would go AFK on the first round of a comp game, the game would say "Player has disconnected" and yet it still spawns them in the next round, restricting us from doing a remake as well as giving us a economy disadvantage for that round. I've had 2 games, where 2 people went AFK at the very beginning of the game, didn't despawn on the 2nd round, and we couldn't remake. We had to 3v5 the rest of the game trying to win as many rounds as possible so we wouldnt derank. If someone disconnects, the round ends, and they are still disconnected, please just dont spawn them in next round. If this is to give them a "grace period" to rejoin a game without an AFK penalty, i understand, but at least change the deadline from which you can remake from round 2 to round 3 if that is the case.

Another complaint I have, although this has only happened to me personally twice, is trolls using autoclickers and going AFK so they dont despawn. This one is a bit harder to counter, but I'm sure one person can come up with a good idea, idk. It isn't very likely, but definitely is annoying and an unfair situation. However the first issue I listed is my priority.

TL;DR: If someone is disconnected after round ends, dont spawn them in next round. This will allow us to at least remake if the game is an immediate 4v5 or worse.
