Launching without search

[Anaryl]

I'd noticed for quite sometime that I get a few AFK games (basically you came back to your screen to find yourself dead).

I'd suspected this had been going on for ages but I finally caught it in the act. around 1:40pm gmt +10

It'd be nice to get the points reimbursed, because it really is unfair to be pulled into the queue when you've specifically cancelled.

It's perfectly possible that someone start searching before you send the stop command. (you are actually already in a game after you stop).

That lag can happens because you are not launched until your opponent has his own FA launched and connected. That's why there is a 10 seconds delay.

There is easy way how to check this.
After you cancel your search, start a Custom game. If everything is all right, the game window pops up, but if you are already "in game", you will recieve an error message - FA cant start, because another instance of the game is running (or something like that).
