We really, really need a Custom Game lobby kick timer

I realize this will likely never happen, but it would be incredibly helpful if a simple 30 second (or longer!) ‘Cannot rejoin lobby…’ timer was added to the Arcade/Custom game lobby functionality to prevent someone from constantly rejoining a lobby after being kicked.

As it is now, the same person can continuously join an almost full lobby, start the countdown, then quit the lobby. This prevents a game from ever starting, and also keeps others from joining. It’s very abusive and there is nothing to prevent it.

A “Ban from lobby” feature would be incredible, but even a 30 second or 1 minute kick timer would be super helpful.

I hate to say it but there are some real jerks on battle.net!

I 100% agree. I remember playing Brood War, if you got banned in a lobby, you were banned forever unless host remade the map. I think a 30 second- or 1-minute timer should be added.

It blows my mind that this has been an issue for over a decade, and not once did anyone on the Blizzard team ever think to fix it. Not in its peak. Not in its decline.

or when you get some teamkilling fktard who keeps rejoining after a remake, because he successfully ruined the first time, and there’s no way to ban him. God forbid you talk to the enemy team in HotS, tho
