An idea to mitigate PVP botting/AFK

Step one:
Allow players non AFK/Bot players to apply for leader of the party at any point in the game; and have a bot check as a requisite of this application.
Example:

Step two:
Continue to fill players into active games, for the entire duration of the game, in order to fill in for kicked afk players; rather than just doing it during the starting phase. This should allow real players to remove inactive/botting players, and have them replaced quickly by the queue system.

Lastly, if necessary, to avoid abuse of the system you can have the player being kicked also receive a bot check like the one above; if he completes it within a reasonable time frame, he is not removed.

    Expect more afk'ing ppl since they changed foundry times. People farm AD/glory that way, simple solution is remove AD reward and make PVP gear useless for PVE. Guild Wars is the best example, if somebody don't like PVP so he/she don't bother about that side of game.

    One (harsh) way to stop PvP bots at least in 5v5 games is to require a win to get any points. Any team with a bot will simply quit and after a while no-one will bother botting.
