Block Player feature Not Working?

[RabidBurp]

Blocked a 3-stack and I'm still getting matched with them. Is there a reason why the block feature is failing to do its job?

i think you should use the avoid as teammate option, blocking a player does not automatically add them to your avoid player list. blocking only restricts friend request , message, and invites

Yup, mikozo is right

Avoid as teammate - 7 days avoid on same team
Block - Forever hide messages, friend request or party requests

Funny enough, the blocked players' messages weren't being hidden when we got matched together after being blocked. Also the Avoid Player list is a separate problem. It needs way more than 3 slots.

^ this, you should just keep swapping out people in your avoided lists, if you know they are in a party of 3 you don't need to avoid all 3 just one of them and the whole team should be avoided from being on your team next game.

I use avoid all the time and I never get matched with people unless i remove the avoid or the 7 days runs out, but I swap it so much that I never reach the timer anyway

Avoid is worthless an only has one real beneficial use...

Preventing matchmaking from putting you back in the same match you left..

Can't count how often you leave a match... enter queue and immediately end up back in that match you just left, if you don't avoid someone

Uh, if you leave a match and immediately requeue then thats on you, just wait a minute so you don't get placed in the same match its pretty simple.

Also if you are leaving matches that often, maybe online gaming isn't for you?
