Blocking in game
Some of us have come across a killer who camped, slugged and tunneled very early in the game, making it impossible to play the match as intended. Some of us have come across another survivor working with the killer or sandbagging others. Some of us have been on the receiving end of negative and abusive comments after a match. Currently, behavior allows us to block a player, yet it appears to do nothing. Reporting falls on deaf ears. If you'd like the option to block a player and we're guaranteed you wouldn't be matched up with them while in your own lobby, answer yes. If you disagree with this being an option, answer no.

I would like it personally, but the reason they don't is because it affects matchmaking. My counter to that argument is that this year has already seen less consideration toward matchmaking with anti-go next and a solution to that problem with Play While You Wait, so why not allow it?

No. People would just abuse to get easy matches.
A Survivor team outplayed you? Blocked.
A Killer beat you fair and square? Blocked.
And then the matchmaking times and quality get worse for everyone.
The reason this feature doesn’t exist is because it’s completely unworkable. There’s no way to implement such a thing without it being incredibly abuse able by bad actors.

We would not allow the blocking of players, players would do things for reasons that were outside of "this person was a cheat" - it would be more "this person beat me". We saw this many years ago when you could block players with a 3rd party programme, there were a few nurse mains who couldn't get a match.
The in-game block feature is purely about chat, it's not meant to block you being matchmade with someone.

I'd say no because if you live in an area with a smaller playerbase eventually the queue time could become so atrocious it blocks some players from properly getting to play the game.

Mandy, I can see where this is an issue, but doesn't the devs realize that the tunneling, camping and slugging has gotten out of hand? I know there was a proposed fix to this, however that has since changed. As a survivor main who games ever day, it's disheartening when majority of the matches are this way when there are 5 gens left. Something needs to be done, if not the previously proposed solutions, cut a killers points by a percentage or disallow them to progress to the next killer grade? I'm sure there are reasons as to why my suggestions won't work, I'm not dev, just someone who games to relieve stress. To me, I'm not upset about losing a match, but that the team is hindered by tunneling and camping before any points can be made. I've lost count of how many blood point offerings have gone to waste. My enjoyment of the game is significantly skewed as of the last few weeks. Please tell me something is in the works and soon. Or is dbd dying? I can ignore the abusive chat, I can report someone for working with the killer or cheating, but I am getting really tired of the tunneling and camping when it's done right at the beginning of the match.

I'd rather roll with the punches and learn from losses.

Unfortunately, this would have everyone blocking everyone for any reason. Personally, I'd probably block soloqers for ratting or not taking aggro, so I'd be blocking people constantly, which is unfair, because these people might improve. But I'd be mad and I'd knee jerk block everyone who aggravates me and many others would too. I've also had killer matches where I acted out of character and those matches didn't reflect how I normally play, and I don't want to be judged for just those.

Yes
downside is matchmaking time increase but upside is you can have fun with more like-minded people

We've ALL had that match where you spawn looking at Mr. Bubba over by shack on garden of joy, then never got a frame without him because of wonderful spawn logic. who wants to play against a no life like that. let them be shadow banned. thatthat's on them not us if everyone blocked them leading to them never finding a match ever again. can you tell this happened recently.
