When they added the new avoids system it was originally with 3 “guaranteed avoids” and the rest were just a priority order of avoids. When queues got longer you might end up in a game with some of the latter, but never with the former.
Then they changed it and made it so they are all optional and you could end up in games with any of them. But they kept the 3 slots for “until removed” and the rest have a time-limit.
Now that the time they are kept is the only differentiator, why not just make them all “until removed”? It’s a pain to remember to go in and refresh the older avoids to make them current again and kind of a pointless process since they could all be kept until removed now.
IMO they need to stop saying they care about harassments until they make a permanent “Avoid as teammate” and “Avoid as opponent” and have it STAY until you choose to remove it as a list. I don’t care if some top 500 widow can’t find a game anymore, I care that my friend keeps getting dunked on by the other team and then you see them the next game with a comment like “Well, well, well time for round 2”
Can’t mute the coordinated tbagging and focused bullying like being punched/hooked and have it stalled out for their amusement because the matchmaker doesn’t know how to put people in the right spots and we end up being stuck in spawn to the point of tears. It’s all okay or none of it is. If I don’t wanna see that, then either my right not to is respected, or the mantra becomes grow thicker skin but not a half hearted attempt at either.
Then so be it. There are game modes where you see the same people often. It’s on them to figure out the work around NOT at my expense for just wanting to play
