Can we add a 7-day 'Avoid Player' feature?
While I get it would mess with queue times a little, I also feel it could improve the overall health of the game. Some people just play super toxic when others just want to play a good competitive round and it kinda stinks when you get repeatedly matched with the same toxic person over and over again.

No. i'm sorry but sadly no. this would be abusing the system to avoid Good players on dbd. making them have a Longer queue time. i would not even support this idea at all. Just my thoughts,

Do people actually play the same people? I don't think i've ever seen a repeat name.

I'd like a limited list, like....
5 people only. I only have a handful of people I never want to see again.

@Verconissp It's not abusable to that great of a degree since it's only a 7 day feature, not permanent or anything. Got the same Insidious basement dwelling Bubba (they were rank 1 too) four times in a row, so yeah, it happens @ProwlingDead

@BigBrainMegMain Exactly, kinda like how Overwatch has a 3 person cap. With limitations, it could be more beneficial than abusable.

Overwatch, from what I see, does not let you ban opponents. Only teammates.

Can't you just block them? I'm on Xbox and Everytime I find ######### or toxic players I block them and have never had to deal with them again.

There's a reason MLGA was banned. When someone lost, for any reason, they marked that person so they would never face them again. That screwed up que times and the devs forbid it's use.

@EvilJoshy Not trying to be rude, but it says in the title what I'm suggesting, nothing permanent and with limitations.

That would be completely fine.

Yeah, that is what I am saying. It allows you to not get paired up with them on the same time. Overwatch already tried an avoid list for opponents. They ended up doing away with it because it ended up being highly damaging.

No offense taken. The premise still remains. People will use it to avoid someone who beat the crap out of them.

In this game, one side has the risk of being affected much harder than the other. Consider that in a given match, a single player can theoretically be put on an avoid list by 4 opponents. Consider what happens when that repeatedly happens.

@TAG I have considered it before starting to post, maybe people will realize 'Hey, people don't like when I'm toxic, maybe I should show a little sportsmanship' when they have longer queues. One can dream though, I forget alot of the community revels in their toxicity and understand why they wouldn't want a feature like this though.

I'd be all for it if I had some magical way to make sure people actually reserve the slots for genuinely unpleasant people. You know, the people that walk on a tightrope one (1) nanometer away from being banned, including their post-game chat and general unpleasantness, that play with "lets make people mad lol" as their primary or even only objective.
But that's now how it'd work. Some would just reserve it for whenever they run into the stronger players in their region, and many others have... interesting definitions of words like "toxic". As in "the killer downed me too fast" or "the survivor clicked the SWF button on the main menu", and that's without taking all the people that would just block anyone using killers, perks or items they dislike.

Except there's nothing stopping players from avoid-listing opponents who committed the toxic act of being good at the game. So no.
2 -
That's still massively abusable.
It would also mess up queue times for everyone if there was not a limit on how many people can be on the list.

Your suggestion would encourage toxicity because it would encourage toxic players to put players they lost to on an avoid list.
3 -
Yes. This is why I say your idea would encourage toxicity.
3 -
@TAG I think you're so against this because you're someone who enjoys being toxic. With a limit and maybe video footage of offender in question, this could actually be a good thing. But again, what was I thinking suggesting something to encourage people to not play like dbags? There's a huge difference between skill and blatant toxicity
1 -
As long as it remains highly abusable, it would never work. There's a reason why the devs have said no to the idea every time any sort of variation of it has been brought up.
There's a huge difference between skill and blatant toxicity
Not to the people who would abuse such a system.

Ah yes. But It's okay killers can see profile names and dodge as they see fit.

For what it's worth, I fully support hiding Survivor names in the lobby.

What if, every time you block someone (for a limited amount of time or whatever), it lowers the priority that you get in matchmaking? So, the person you block can still get a super fast match with anyone who hasn't blocked them, but it takes you a little bit longer to find your next matches. That way, if you block every other person you play against, your queue time becomes riddiculous and it disincentivizes you from abusing the system, but, if you only block one or two people who you absolutely hate, the smaller hit to your matchmaking time might be worth it to avoid them.

It can be abused. if you're allowed to put the same name every week to make sure that One player never gets in your lobby again. would be just totally abusing the system even if they were good players.
And the other issue is. you'll still be called Toxic even WHEN you aren't toxic. so like i said... i can't agree with this Idea at all,

@TAG is right tho. It wouldn't encourage sportsmanship. It's a punishment. People would abuse it to punish people they lost against.
MLGA had a blacklist feature like what you suggested. People abused it to blacklist players for bs reasons like playing Freddy.
So no, that's a terrible idea, unless you want really long queues for survivors.
