Disconected because of AFK

[Terminatrix]

The time it takes before you get kicked off the server is stupid..

i went outside for under 5min, and lost the whole match.

ppl have to be able to live in RL aswell, having an auto kick from the game ruins it for the whole team, more then maby loosing a lvl or 2.

it allso makes the game more addictive, witch is not a good thing.

And if you wont chance the kick timer, make a button to join the last game you where in, regardless of time, as long as its still being played.

increase it to 10 minutes or make it a vote to kick after 5 mins
i hate this auto kick too -.-
totally agree

[MeVe]

There have been so many threads made on this same topic...why can't people just use the search thread and post in the other threads?

This function is fine.
A hero being afk for over 5 min is useless after.
He is underleveled and can't get it back to same level.
Beside u could play while u speak on phone.
Or u call back after game.

This is a team game. When you sign up to play one, your teammates and even your enemies are expecting you to be able to sit down and play the whole game. If you don't have time, don't start a game.

lol, like you could have influence over the future
maybe your parents calling for something, or your friends come along
whatever
and my rl is much more worth than playing without a 5 min break
everything can happen and you're afk for 5 mins

i can, and i've done that many times before, that's not that hard, c'mon

i think 5 mins are a bit too short
10 is ok, i liked that in dota, and also a voting for kick afk
THAT is fine
but not autokick after 5 mins

English, sir, do you speak it?

Add +1 for vote-kick after five. Auto kick sucks and it should be up to the team to decide.

I agree initiating a vote-kick would work better, as long as only the teammates vote.

I admit I'm not the most social person in the world, but when you can't put aside 30-60 minutes aside to play a game, then you are either too busy in life or too easily influenced by outside suggestion. If my friend calls, I don't say "omg I'm coming over now" and leave the game. There are emergencies, and then there is you mentally telling yourself "it's just a game, I'm not wasting anyone else's time by leaving/afk'ing". If your friend calls and wants to you hang out with him, if you choose to leave or afk instead of simply playing it out, it's your fault, not some "outside source". If your uncle dies or your house is on fire, you have good reason to afk or leave.

More on topic, the auto-kick would be better at 10min with a vote auto-initiated at 5min. It's especially annoying when I'm trying to play a solo game and try something while tabbing out to read forums, and I tab back in and I'm kicked.

I ran to take a piss once and when i got back had the warning message so i ran towards one tower, but saw a push coming from the other side so i ran to the other tower and i got kicked for being AFK with no ability to reconnect.

Cmon, I was moving around... I can see why its set for just being within base though, shift click in the pond 100000x would be a crappy way to avoid an AFK kick.
But I think you should have like 300 seconds to reconnect after an AFK kick because twice I've caught it just as I've been kicked. Being AFK for 5 minutes without excuse is pretty bad but if you gotta answer the door/pee/put a fire out thats in your oven you go over 5 in no time.

There should be a warning on the center of the screen saying "get out of the base and play in the next 30 seconds or you will be kicked for idleing" with a seconds counter on players screen !

Sometimes you find yourself searching for items in the store and time is passing
