Essentially what the title ponders. With the announcement of the new “Avoid this Player as a Teammate” feature coming to the PTR/Live in the coming weeks, will it double as a form of soft reporting? If one player is avoided enough, will that eventually catch the OW Team’s eye and will action be taken if necessary, even if it’s not technically a “reportable offense”?
ie: a player is constantly forcing the team’s hand in how to play/team composition, “We need 2 healers, we have to have 2 tanks”, etc, but not threatening to throw without them, just being obnoxious and obstinate about it the entire time. If he does this every game and most of his teammates use the avoid feature, would this eventually be noticed and the player put on a chat suspension or similar as a result?
it protects one tricks, so they dont get banned by automated system…if it happens alot, avoided player is notified that alot of people don’t want to play with them and that they should maybe change what they are doing.
I expect it will be used a LOT as a way of working out who to ban.
People report over the crazyest things, but, now we have a system where people have a limited resource over who they use it on.
It will be used to work out the worse offenders for sure.

he wont be punished but he will be warned, as jeff explained in the dev update. if he is in ranks besides gold and plat, he will have some sort of punishment, which is longer queue times. but not as a punishment, just because a lot of peple can’t be with him on the same team.
