What happened to the extended avoid list?

Weren’t we promised the avoid list would extended to 3 definite avoids and 7 hopefully avoids? It’s still sitting at 3. They announced it during S9 so surely S11 was the latest it would come?

It was announced as a feature for “season 12 and beyond”

I was beginning to think I dreamt that up… no idea what happened to it :woman_shrugging:

In classic Blizzard fashion they probably needed another few dozen meetings on that topic.

No point. Can’t avoid garbage, it everywhere.

A lot of people (including myself) thought it was a Season 11 feature because it was announced alongside a bunch of other Season 11 changes.

A weird choice in hindsight.

No no… THIS time the thing we said you wanted that we were gonna make IS gonna be released.

Totally.

ignore the tens of other things we said would release and trust us on this.

Wow, I can see there are some inefficiencies in their development process! A minimum of 4 months to implement an extension to the avoid list? Incredible really. Sure, they need to tweak the MM to deal with top-3 vs. bottom-7, and they have admitted in the past they don’t really know how the MM works any more (lots of parameters, change them and see what happens), so perhaps that’s what is holding it up.

They’ve got bigger problems, trying to polish a turd

I’d rather have avoid-specific, like, I don’t play with Balls and Dooms, or I don’t want to have afk sombra in my team. If the player caters to playing these heroes he is less likely to get in my games. No need 1000000 slots to avoid, just need specific heroes banned from your lobbies, that’s it.

please OW i want to put players in the shadow realm. I NEVER want to play with the 0/12 doom EVER EVER EVER again

Wow, that’s well into the spoiled brat territory - maybe just get mommy to hold you hand while you play and you’ll be ok liddle Timmy!! Jeez, grow tf up!

And how would this even work? you choose your heroes after the game starts. How can the MM know what someone will choose.

My little timmy won’t fit your mouth, kid.

I’ve heard there are such definitions as OTPs and Mains, also profiles show that. Sees filthy OTP ball - avoids putting into match.

yeah we gotta wait, wait, and wait. then wait.

wait.

wait.

hang on a sec. then wait.

200 OW devs working 40 hours a week can’t seem to get the avoid list changes into the game, they are good at recoloring skins though.

hey, this season is fully packet with content. Give them some slack :upside_down_face:

I wish my mommy would hold my hand while I play. It would give me great confidence to dominate my opponents!

:muscle::pleading_face:

If this matchmaker cannot figure out that I am going to pick Reinhardt, it has some MAJOR flaws. Let me tell you that, brother.

:muscle::face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It literally says “Season 12 and beyond” in the Developer Update video from Season 9.

Yeah but see the promised it in season 11 and still cant even deliver the most simplest of things. They are truely a bad group of devs/leadership.
