*A 2nd bot only for people with x+ points (and them getting only (full?) points on this bot) would solve some problems (downloaders, smurfing,...). It would be easier to get good games that way as well (good tinkers won't die 5 times before reaching hull).
*Everyone has only bad teammates now and then (or the only good ones leaving/disconnecting) - in the long run everyone loses the same amount of games becouse of that. In addition to that: being able to win with really bad teammates will seperate the good from bad players.
*Kick system is discussed right now.
*The problem of people being afk at the start is a problem with all hostbots and i think any permanent pause at start wouldn't change anything. It just either should be easier to kick those who are afk and/or leaving should be more punished (it isn't at all right now), so being afk->being kicked implies a form of negative feedback. That is needed anyway, as I don't think anyone who leaves for example 25%+ of his 50+ games should be able to compete in the league (at least not for ranking positions in the top 10).
