Since last patch I have noticed that AFK players are not being kicked for inactivity from Gambit matches. The other day my husband didn't realize he had left himself queued up for Gambit (thinking he had hit esc on the waiting screen) and when he came back into the room found he had inadvertently idled through THREE Gambit Prime matches, getting him two wins and a loss - he deduced this through his progress on the Yes Sir I'm a Closer bounty. He felt bad and was shocked that he hadn't been kicked.
I've seen AFK players both on my team, the other team, or both, nearly every match and them not being kicked is very detrimental to the whole experience, with some teams just giving up when they realize the futility of trying to win against a fully manned team. I am sure it is not intentional. I've attached some relevant screenshots below of the match recaps showing AFK players who were idle the entire match and were not kicked. These are from the last few days when I realized it was likely a bug. I checked Known Issues and didn't see anything about this. Thanks for your time!
