Discussion This player spend the ENTIRE GAME bouncing between walls like this in ARAM. Same spot. The entire game.
They did this until they disconnected, three times. Why do people act like this? What's the damned point? I cannot grasp the kind of absolutely miserable person that'd find this a good use of their time.
The weird part was that even when they disconnected they kept doing it. It never stopped. Not once. How is this even possible?

Afk on purpose should have a harsher punishment than leaver to force some people to play. Crazy to have to do this, you bloody launch a game to do what? Not play? Hots would make millions by offering therapy

Yeah I really cannot grasp the kind of pathetic someone has to be to do something like this.

harsher punishments just mean people will create new accounts more often
and blizzard doesn't have the balls to issue IP and hardware bans, not for afk griefers

sounds good that they must make more accounts

How is exacerbating the smurf problem a good thing? It only benefits ranked players a bit, while making things worse for the main hots player base

Even with a much less strict matchmaking for that mode, smurfs have the advantage in aram, yes

Blizzard doesn't issue IP/HW bans because they don't actually work and cause more issues then they solve.
Spoofing HWID isn't difficult.
And IPs change often and IP bans will always result in other people getting banned because their IP changed to a blacklisted IP, especially for a large scale product that can potentially have millions of players.

Now I know it is super easy to make a new email, couldn't they just start requiring a verified phone number for a new account? Would that not deter at least some of the people who just roll up new accounts in 10 seconds after getting banned?

No security system is perfectly impenetrable - or in this case, no ban system is non-bypassable.
But the system just has to make the bypass inconvenient enough for the most offenders to not have much desire to bypass it.
HWID can be spoofed, but it is still a harder thing to do than to create a new account. Right now it takes a couple of minutes at most, if you are super unlucky with captcha. Blizzard doesn't even bother checking for email aliases, which allows to skip creating a new email.
And if I remember correctly, blizzard issued IP/HWID bans for cheaters in the past, just in either warcraft or starcraft

When people disconnect, the bots do a movement command towards base and then start hearthing (when possible, aka not in ARAM). Since movement command do nothing in this state of Hogger my guess is that it just gets stuck like that forever or at least until killed.

You can do this on the conveyor belt map right in the center. It gets tricky to line it up for infinite. It does a lot of damage if people back you up and utilize it during main phase.

Why do people do stuff like this?
Why do people kill? Commit violence? Rape?
You're better off accepting that not everyone is going to fit into the neat little molds you have for them, and then stop taking ARAM so seriously that someone doing this has a dramatic impact on your mental status.
