Lobby Time Limit

With the bots having problems hosting or being mostly not available to host at all
I would like to see some sort of limitation as to how long you can stay in the
lobby of a hostbot itself even as host.

You might ask why and heres the answerto it: people wait round 30 min+ for their
game to start, some even 1h+ this leads to people spam create games when there
are too many people hosting at the moment and they get super frustrated.

Also: Only 2 NewYork bots are available, most of the time even only one...this is even
worse here.

Because stuff like this happens (look at the games lobby time ->it was 2h+ in the end):

-> Conclusion: Implement a lobby timer around that unhosts the game after 20 min to 30 min at max (have some sort of warning ingame). That should be enough for the game gather people and to be able to start.

Cheers

How does auto-unhosting an open lobby lead to more players..?

I didn't say anything bout "getting more people", but rather people not getting pissed of about the
current bot situation (which I know, you can't help it either) and therefore leaving to other services like mmh.

Auto-unhosting prevents people from sitting in a lobby for too long, going afk or do whatever they do in that time,
blocking a potential bot space that could otherwise be used to host and start a game.

Also a little side effect of people having to spam try to host:

Spamming is actually forbidden (and shouldnt technically be possible). You may report such instances.

Denied.
