Before going into the subject I need to point out that my vision of this game is mainly based on battleground, so I don’t know (or care) about how traditional HS works.
I didn’t find any reason lately to ask for a report system. With the counter cheats in place since the 1Hp cheaters, I never had to complain about anything else than rarely balance or stability of the game itself.
And even until today I didn’t see any reason to, the duo mod is extremely fun and I love the fact that we have to find ways to communicate with our partner using tags and emots. Some people left early but it doesn’t have an impact considering you can leave without losing ranks.
Now I played a game today which was ok, we weren’t top of the leaderboard but the builds were getting there. And for some reason (I genuinly don’t know why, I skipped a card he marked once cause I played too fast but it happends all the time), my teammate decided to sell all his board.
That’s my first encounter of someone genuinly sabotaging and not misplaying or lacking skills. Until now it was okay for trolls to exist because they were only losing ranks but now that you can play coop with random players you can get punished for nothing.
That’s why I ask everyone, do you think we need a report system to prevent those to continue sabotaging games for us ?

Blizzard doesnt have the manpower to look over all those games which will be reported. And how would you even punish people who do sabotage games. Maybe you can put them in the basement mmr bracket but i guess many are already there.
You can say:just get to such a high mmr that you wont be matched with people doing these things. But people doing these things can make that a very long grind,taking more games then anyone will realistically play.
I dont know,duos is pretty awesome in general but hs just doesnt have the playerbase for it. Duo,s also lacks the amount of players to properly match on skill. The skill range within 1 lobby is huge. Not only between the different teams but also between individual players.
A report system is not a bad idea but i dont think it will solve much,the problems are more fundamental.
Yeah, I agree with you.
Part of the reason I openned the subject with a question and not a suggestion is because I don’t believe it’s the best answer, I just don’t know any better way.
Plus if there was a report option lots of people would misuse it.
It’s sad cause it’s really a good mod but I don’t know how they could prevent those kind of behaviour.
It seems necessary because of the trolls and griefing, but it’d be scary to think of players reporting one another just because they are bad.
The community is so toxic that it you give them reporting tools, those tools will be abused more than they’re used properly
Exactly
What do you think the people who sell their board and leave are going to do with such a system?
And if Blizzard ever gives reporting tools to the players, what it means is “I want y’all to stop talking about this where I might actually read it, and I want you to redirect all of that communication to this place where I’m guaranteed to ignore it”
But is there a place “where they might actually read it” anyway ? I’m pretty sure This forum isn’t the place to complain about a specific player either. I don’t think they won’t ignore it as it is rn.
PS : again a troll today, it’s not gonna get better with time.
