!afk abuse on Legion TD

i see more and more people abusing the !afk command to detect if the enemies send the next round by checking the afk time.
not sure how to prevent this but it has a huge influence if people know if they need to build for the next round or if they need a specific tower for this round. especially mutants benefit from this abuse since they know if they need to juice or can save their lumber.

Interesting. I've never considered this. Post some links that provide helpful insights into this "abuse?"

I dont get it. You mean that if they are not afk (afk timer low), they are more likely to send?

@nabo.

High level sends relies on spamming units.

If you also spam !afk command I guess you can deduct they're sending if the afk timer remains on 0:00seconds

That's my understanding.

You can be moving your builder or click something also...but i guess it could be a problem.

@nabo.
in most cases(at least 1200+) after level 10 people build and stay afk till the round starts to send asap possible.
if the whole team is active in the first few seconds of a round they send in pretty much all games i saw someone use the !afk command

@uakf.b

Possible to only make it show when a person is afk 2+ minutes?

I updated it to be like that, and restarted the Legion TD Mega bots.
