Well, this is what made me think of this suggestion:
I log on, wait for 2hrs for the HB Tournament, win the first match, wait 5min for the next... find my opponent, and.. forgot to click "join" after 2min

Here's my suggestion:
Add something to draw attention.. like large red text for the timer once 0:30 pops up when waiting to join a round. Just a minor change that might help some players... afterall, waiting about an average of 3-5min after each match + an additional 2min to join.. not everyone pays attention

oh no your not the guy shouting
"::::::JOIN:::::::"
"::::::JOIN:::::::"
"::::::JOIN:::::::"
"::::::JOIN:::::::"
"::::::JOIN:::::::"
are you?

Theres a dam lot of timers in HvH, i think we counted em at one point

The time till the tourny starts
the time untill the first match
the join me timer
The "time untill end" timer that flashes up before you enter
The Timer in hero battles
The timer to res
The timer to leave the battle
The time left in that round

Think thats it, prob more somewhere

So? You can turn off all the messages if you want. And most (prob all) timers in HvH is actually usefull.
I actually wish the timer untill the gate opens at the start is a bit longer then 10 seconds.

If you want less timers, the only option is to vote for consecutive wins, so you do not have to start a new game every time.

They should simply remove the Join button.

If you're in Hero Battles, you automatically get thrown into the game. If you don't move for a full minute because you're afk, then you automatically resign and your rating changes as normal.

If you're not in Hero Battles, or you hit the "Cancel" button, then you forfiet as usual.
