giving units to an afk player should not be possible

this could be quite disadvantageous and kill the game

" From AUrankSnuggleBass in discord: quote: I probably gave it to an AFK player without thinking. I was hard 1v2 in lane and didn't have the bandwidth to manage units that were on the other side of the map. I was given units, and I just panic gave them to someone without thinking. I assumed that the player would be someone in the game, but perhaps I was mistaken? "

Historically giving to AFK players would just immediately trigger the afk monitor and pass units onto somebody else, so that is also an alternative compared to just blocking the transfer.

in that game at hand, the units given back to the afk player remained there, making them inaccessible to the team.
