PSA: You can, and people currently are, AFKing with jump-bots.

Just encountered this for the second time tonight. A Sova on my team instalocked without saying a word and was AFK from round one. But where most AFKs would get disconnected for inactivity, this one was either running a script or had a physical weight on their keyboard that kept them jumping on the spot for the entire game.

They never returned, meaning that my team never got the extra money or ult orbs that would usually help balance the scale. We also didn't have the option to surrender and were forced to waste 35 minutes of our nights for nothing.

There are multiple people doing this, it's happened to me twice from two different accounts on Sydney servers. It will probably continue to happen for a long time. I'm just trying to bring attention to it so that changes can be made as soon as possible.

We x9 reported them, but it's unlikely they'll get banned. The game doesn't think they were afk.
