Report: Player 83681240 Abusing Timer and Ruining Ranked Match
I’m in a ranked match right now against player 83681240, and this guy hasn’t made a single move for over 15 minutes — just because he’s clearly losing. This is absolutely ridiculous. He’s wasting people’s time on purpose.
And when his timer finally ran out, the game didn’t even end. Like, what the hell is this? I’m clearly at an advantage, and somehow I’m being forced to lose because of this broken system? Seriously, is this how your game rules are set?
You need to fix this. Add a strict time limit per turn or round, and punish players who deliberately stall like this. It’s unfair and completely ruins the ranked experience.
Do something about this — this shouldn’t happen in a competitive game.

@rich623 the game froze on you is what happened. Funny i just posted about it happening before i read this. The game would always freeze up during matches. Performing an action an it would just freeze an you would have to restart. But now!! Everything still works an the timer keeps going, but the other player never does anything. Its really annoying an even worse then the freezing. Atleast when it froze you knew to restart the game. Now you sit wasting time thinking your still in the match waiting on the other player.

@fineasmatei No , his game froze. He even said the game timer ended an nothing happened. If it was other player then his turn would of ended an the match would continue until it forfeit for him for being idle to long.
