I am going to call this a “Bug” because it is one. Brackets use to form around Player portraits to INDICATE if that player was PAIRED with a specific person in the group. It was a GOOD thing to have.
stack - Definition: - A premade group of players that consist of 2 or more that have access privelage to the “Green” highlighted chat and chose to Q in at the same time as another person.
Blizzard should have not removed this bracket feature
I lobby dodged these because I knew the following:
- If the enemy team had stacks. I knew I was going to be the one to be bullied the most. See my nice SILVER (at the time) portrait. I should be your #1 focus!
more.
- See that player by themselves. They have NO buddy if the person is bullied into leaving the match.
more.
- It would be nice to know as a SOLO Q player, if the allied team is a stack or the enemy. So I can duck out of the lobby.
Midnight is the worst time to play this game. Because all I get is those toxic teams that are like “report this player for throwing, for not playing the way my team wants, waah”. -
If I had known they (the matches) were premades, I would have LEFT. If they had a 5-stack and one person ups and quits. That should be on their dime, NOT ours. to solve their problems. Tough 
.
most stacks do NOT act civilized.
and…
It also might save blizzard resources in having the report system unnecessarily spammed, and having to sift through the many FALSE REPORTS that occur. Giving the company time and more money in resources that they want to spend on!
Please and Thank you kindly for fixing this when you can.
