/koth start (Warlord perk) - can be abused to maintain shop buff
Submitted by redstoneisgreat
What happened?
Once the civ KOTH is won, I think the buffs persist until the next civ KOTH (at which point if that civ loses the civ KOTH, they lose the buffs)
The issue is that a Warlord ranked player can wait until a civ KOTH is about to start, then use /koth start. (not sure if there's a restriction within the 5 min window, but earlier there is not)
This will start a Faction KOTH and cancel the Civ KOTH, denying other factions the option to take the shop buff. There is a 1 hour cooldown on /koth start, but I think it's a 2 hour cooldown between naturally starting KOTHs (may vary, not sure). The concern is if this was done repeatedly.
