@ZultharWhen a player lags, a screen comes up, and he has 45 seconds to fix/comeback until players have the option to kick. At this point, it becomes
very unlikely that the player comes back, and the only 50% of the votes are needed to drop a player, so this is nothing specific to LTD HELL. A DotA team could drop an enemy player on their own if he lags.
Thing is, it is the player's fault for lagging, and others should not have to wait eternally for someone. Your case is more specific as your teammate had sporatic lags. However, same applies. Others shouldn't be subject to this issue, and they were in their right to kick.
