Why do people afk?

Ran out of "reports" within the first 6 games.  One was for a team-kill, and two were consumed in one match for AFK/Bot.
You're game is getting so many AFK/Bots/etc that the system as is seems unable to deal with them.
Filed a ticket with replay for the teamkill, and frankly am expecting a canned response about the "automated system".

AFK/Bot Sanctions.
There is only ever one sanction placed for players who "excessive and repetitive passive play" which is a Permanent Game Ban and no warnings are issued for offending accounts.
As such, when a account is sanctioned for "excessive and repetitive passive play" there is no doubt that the account has been abusing the system either with a bot/macro, or manually.
If there is any doubt, a warning for "excessive and repetitive passive play" is issued.
If you have received such warning, please heed it, it means your account is currently under investigation and if your account continues to be played in its current format, it will be shortly be permanently banned.
Reporting AFK/Bot players.
In Game Reporting feature.
Within the game is a complaints system where you may report a player for AFK/Bot use.
These stats are used to alert us to possible AFK/Bot players. Players who have a high number of reports here will receive further investigation into their playing statistics.
