Have I been cheated?

Today I played a match online while i was on the train. After about half an hour is was clear that i was going to win. the opponent made some comment like me"figures" and then congratulated me. I thanked him for the game and everything seemed civil. However, after that, on his sacrifice step, he did nothing. i urged him to play, and waited about fifteen minutes before I offered a draw. I waited another 5 minutes, then i got the message about a match loss. Is this some new form of cheating?

Probably not cheating, just a synch error.

Sync errors result in a draw.

I assume your ign is Johnny Spike and the game in question was vs. CHAMPIONSCHOOL. I watched it and it was weird. Both of his last two games ended with him winning without killing the other hero.

Hi Nizaris,

you assume correctly on both counts. Is it some kind of hack? Can something be done?

[Nizaris]

I can't tell you for sure what happened. There are some bugs that can cause games to end, but they usually force a draw. His ended early but resulted in wins for him. It's certainly not normal. Maybe AnAdolt will take a look at it if he sees this.
