    It's easy to detect that a player isn't moving at all. What's harder to detect is when a player has some some macro to move around randomly but never actually do anything useful. It's also important to distinguish between a player who is intentionally going AFK or throwing matches and one who was accidentally disconnected or had to drop the game without warning due to some emergency. You can't rely on other players to flag the problems as some people will flag others for being bad at the game even though they're trying.

    Players have been AFKing since WoW battlegrounds were introduced. The problem is that you give rewards just for participation. The solution is: playing the game IS the reward.

    I never heard of Valorant. Is it another MOBA or is it the FPS type thing like everyone's Fortnite copycat? We need more SMITE type games or "auto chess" or whatever games that we can use controllers with. Controllers = fun. Keyboard = work. (To some of us!) :P

    It's a Counterstrike copycat brought to you by the company who made the DotA copycat. 

    (And yes, League of Legends is a copy cat. There's taking inspiration, and then there's literally copy pasting the map structure and changing the art assets).

    League of Legends is made by the people who made the original DotA 1 (in Warcraft III) you monkey, if anything DotA 2 is a copy of League of Legends.
