Patch notes

General Changes

Bots will now replace a human player if the player has been disconnected for more than 30 seconds (hero will retreat home first and then after 30 seconds the bot takes over). After 4 minutes it will start using souls to buy items. During laning phase it will go to its assigned lane, afterwards it will aim to stick near where most allies are located. If the player rejoins the bot will leave. We will work on improving the bot behavior as we get feedback.
Added a temporary matchmaking ban system for people that leave games
Reworked the Watch tab to highlight suggested matches to watch. There is currently a limit on the number of people that can watch the same match, so it'll recommend different games if the best suggestions are full. We are working on removing the spectator limit for a future update.
