- AVOID PLAYER as TEAMMATEOPTION- for bg blitz

  • I just got done healing a bg blitz on my disc priest.
  • we had a mage in the group who never used time warp
  • several members in the group asked him/her to please use it
  • the mage never said a word and never used it

i would like to request the option to avoid players like this, similar to how overwatch lets you avoid griefing players

thank you for your time

EDIT: a lot of people are confused

i meant avoid player as teammate. of course u cant just block some1 whos better than you and never face them

this feature, like in overwatch will allow 2 avoid slots at any given time, and WILL ONLY avoid putting them ON YOUR TEAM… you can still FACE THESE PEOPLE ON YOUR AVOID LIST

If you’re better than they are and play enough games, rating will take care of them.

Assume you mean blacklist the person’s battletag ? I’ve wanted that for so long.

yeah i know overtime hopefully this problem will diminish greatly at higher ratings but still if the proble mis gonna be this bad and we have a chance to fix it we might aswell

thats my take

Pathway to the tragedy of the commons.
Suddenly, rogues who are good at stealing bases find themselves unable to get queues because the DKs and eles in the teamfight have beef with the rogue’s dps.
Slowly, the problems of the RBG community are recreated by other means.

Pretty bad idea.

how would that prevent a rogue from getting a q its bg blitz

Hopefully it will. As for me, I just want a certain way to avoid teamed up with them ever again.

If this would cause some gameplay issues, that is for Blizz to work out and not players.

Diminishing returns on available pool of players as MMR climbs.
Let me ask you another question;
What happens when people use your proposed feature against people who are better than them rather than people who are worse than them? Not that either of these are objective analyses of ability in the first place.

This suggestion seems rooted in emotion, not logic.

<complains about not having solo q
gets solo q
<complains there’s no personal agency over who you play with in solo q

I’ll probably have more fun in 1600 matches on a rogue where I ignore objectives and just grief players instead of sweating on a main >2k when rated teams are still the more enjoyable option. I’d be surprised if its not going to be common for the 1500-1800 range to be filled with people who just want to pvp on X spec and don’t really care about winning or losing.

Wouldn’t be fair to blacklist people for being bad, since there’s a possibility on a long enough timeline that they can’t get queues anymore (as much as I would like the option).

Cleaning up old posts! :slight_smile:

it wouldnt make sense to avoid some1 whos better than you. you would want them on your team

i dont get your argument

So…you want to get carried, but don’t want to do any heavy lifting? :wink:

wish this were true, but the people selling rating are rank 1 players who are playing lower level characters. ive come up against many, many r1’s at 1400-1700 rating. This is one of those problems where in “theory” its easy to avoid except… its not.

maybe they should remove dumb buttons like that from pvp game modes just my take

This can’t really work because a few month later you will have a biggest time q to wait because Imagine you are in the same time q with me in our waiting group with 4 other waiting for 2 last and then now we have to wait people that no one blocked so imagine me having 5000blocked yall are about to wait by my fault to find the good one and imagine everyone had alot of blocked that going be really impossible to find people that everyone doesnt blocked

eventually youll just be queuing into yourself because you put everyone who didn’t play the way you wanted to on ignore.
congratulations on number 1.

And how would you stop people blocking other people for absolutely no reason.

Heck you could block everyone except your friends and get guaranteed premade EVERY time…

  • Don’t like getting put into a random session with random people?
  • If only there was a way that you could control who and when you queued up for content with.
