The New Boss hires you to put some life back into HotS. However, they don’t want to spend too much to do it.
You’re tasked with deciding which feature from another Blizzard game which you would like to see in HotS. However, you have to bring it over relatively “feature complete”; no big changes to the actual structure of the thing you bring in.
Me? I’d bring in guilds from WoW. Most of the code necessary to make that happen in HotS looks like it’s already written (or something close to it), and I think it’s past time that the devs lean into what makes this game different than other MOBAs: the team-oriented aspect of the game.
“avoid this player” from OW, I know it’s been removed due to the abuse. But avoid a player for 48 hours. If that player is in a stack, I won’t be matched with that stack either.

From what I remember, it wasn’t used to avoid mean people, it was used to avoid bad people.
That’s not abuse, that’s clever use of game mechanics!
I remember this one widowmaker player kept getting that option against him. Think he was one of the best widowmaker players in the world, he couldn’t play the game cause nearly all the opponent’s he went up against avoided him lol.
Then people got the same idea avoiding good, toxic and bad players.

Ye I heard about him aswell. He was getting ignored by more then 100 players and had 12 hour que time cause no one wanted to play againts him.
In a game that has million of players then I would support the idea of having an avoid player option. But not now. Playerbase is too small for that right now. I have played with so many dumb players that I just wanted to put on a avoid player list casue they just feeds all day and walk around in a lane with 10% hp and gets ganked. Like yesterday. I had a 0-8 Zag that lost her lane to a Johanna lol and got ganked multiple times while being low on hp in her lane.
I carried like half the team with Butcher that game but ofc everything I did to help our team to get closer to a victory got throwed into the trash bin quickly by that Zag. Had no clue how to play and cost us the game. So yea I would be glad If I could remove someone like him from my games.
