People should not be kicked from Training mode after a few seconds of being still. It's there for adjusting your settings!

It even kicks you if you are a Bastion in sentry mode shooting and killing, which doesn't really make sense :(

Why even have a time limit in there?

The training room is a game instance running on a server. Before the timeout we saw a large amount of idle training room instances.

The suggestion to make training room offline is common, but the training bots are actual "AI". Our client/server architecture is constructed in a way where making this work would be a significant engineering effort. Right now that's not prioritized on our list unfortunately.

Thanks!

Hey folks, we've definitely seen the posts about this and talked a lot internally about it lately. I'm not certain on the ETA (maybe 1.13) but we're going to make the timeout in training room much longer.

Cheers, I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
