#Detect malicious AFKing + pinging/emoting at the same time and warn/auto ban

I've posted a bunch ideas to improve the far from perfect report system in the past, I might bring some ideas back here at some point, but here's a new one.

So, you've got AFK bot detection now. You could reuse a similar code to detect if someone's burning mana and using pings or emotes at the same time. If the match is lost after that, you could implement:

  • warning(s) for people who do that - a popup stating you should not throw games or you will get banned. That you can't reject unless you click "I understood" type of checkbox.
  • temporary bans from rando queue at least - first few for 1 hour to cool down, then they could get longer if the person doesn't learn

I can't think of any case where this would be bad and ban based on false positives, as long as it's not spaghetti code. Emoting/pinging and not playing cards for a long time is always malicious. Well, in solos and premades there could be some cases maybe, but ofc this is a feature aimed at randos only just like AFK bot should have been.

Unfortunately I don't think BD cares about this issue. I've brought up issues with the AFK bot being able to be toggled and get ignored

Read through the post and both of these ideas seem good but unfortunately I don't see BD caring enough to act on it
