I typically block every person on my team that is bad at the game, but in Overwatch the block goes away after a day so you still get to play with those players. It is very frustrating, but I am hoping a dev sees this and makes note of it. If they do not make a note of this/put it on the forum, I already have a lawsuit ready to go for Activision/Blizzard. I have ran it by four lawyers who are actually hoping no devs make note of this. Essentially since the block button does not work, it is going to be like how the FTC got Epic Games for exposing younger crowds to toxic or harmful environments. It also goes hand in hand with their report button too. They only silence people if multiple reports come through for one person. They do not look into every single report.
You have no lawsuit and have contacted no attorneys.
Block works fine, avoid as teammate works fine.
You can’t sue a game developer because you don’t win enough matches.
Thanks for the entertainment!
I messaged support about this and they came back at me with a bot response.
the BLOCK function currently does not do anything. It’s just for show.
Block doesn’t stop you from being matched. Avoid as teammate does.
uhh, yes obviously avoid team mate will avoid teammates. Not sure why you said this to me.
The block button doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t block messages, friend requests, group invite requests, nothing. it does nothing.
Use both block and squelch chat.
Doesn’t stop spam invites and requests.
Messages are stopped.
OK.
but…
the Block button does nothing.
