DBD needs an "avoid as teammate" option

Too many times I have been matched with players who simply refuse to play the game. I just had a match where 2 players (both playing Claudette) refused to participate in the match. Both of them were caught early by the killer and after unhooking decided to roam around the edges of the map. At the start of the match, one of them walked right past me as I was working on a gen and stood still near the corner of the map. The other teammate had about as much luck as I did with the situation and was eliminated first. Shortly after one of the Claudette players was found and eliminated leaving only me, the other Claudette and 5 gens left to do to escape. Sure enough the other survivor found me and did nothing but follow me the entire time. The killer sees me first which then leads to game over for all of us.

Not being able to wrap my head around the fact I was matched with possibly the absolute worst DBD players in the entire world, I was again reminded of why I have always wanted an "avoid as teammate" option for this game. There are simply players in this game I do not want to be matched with. When I have a match as bad as the one I had mentioned above, hitting that ready button is always going to make me wonder when it will happen again. That wasn't the first time a match like that has happened to me. I have had a lot of matches where my team simply refuses to play the game and I'm honestly done with it. I don't know how the match making fully works in this game but I do know I am not always matched with people with the same or even close to the experience I have with it. It doesn't have to be an unlimited thing. There can be limits to it. Maybe a monthly cap or even a duration to how long someone can be avoided. All I know is I am sick of losing a match because my team decides to not play the game and follow me around until we're all dead. This needs to stop and more options need to be added to this game to make the solo Q experience more enjoyable.

    That is actually a option I can understand. When people want that for killers we always say it will get abuse because you would block all got player in you mmr bracket but when you apply it on team mates it makes sense. No one would block a really good player for being good so only people that act like jerks would get blocked wich is fair

    I don't understand why people would have a problem with this. It makes sense in any PvP game where you have some people who just play to troll or bum off the labor of others.
