Block list, blocked players/accounts
Hello,
recently i’ve been blocking players that i personally don’t want to play with. I’ve noticed today that i’m still getting these players in my lobby’s. what’s the point of blocking someone if i’m still put into a match with them? Is the block button just a band aid that is supposed to make me feel better? I’ve seen so many other players talk about how there is no blocked list or any way to unblock someone without being matched up again. All in all the block button needs some work and should have been added to the dbd quality of life update.
i shouldn’t be forced and matched up with killers and survivors i do not want to play with!!!! Also i don’t want to have to check/remember who i blocked in each lobby to leave or not.
blocked means blocked.

The block function stops them from sending you friend requests, not from being in a game with them.

If the blocked system worked the way you want it to, queue times would be so long.

Which is why i said it needs an update and should have been in the quality of life update. We know there’s about to be an influx of new players so i don’t think queue times would be that much affected anyways. if i was new player and seen how the blocked “list” works, why would i want to play the game? Being forced into matches with survivors/killers i don’t want to play with isn’t fun and ruins the quality of the game.

It's also about the amount of abuse a true blocking system would be open to.
If say a Nurse player is ridiculously good they'd be blocked into oblivion and never get a trial again. Same with super good Blights or whatever. Or if any player uses a playstyle that someone disapproves of. Of if a surv is going after adept David and is repeatedly running No Mither etc. again all blocked badly.

That is true, never thought of that. the kind of players i block are like survivors that do nothing but stand around the map all game or killers that tunnel of the hook. Or just straight up toxic people on both sides regardless of game play. such a shame the way this community is and how it’s ran. maybe i’ll just stop playing dbd all together who knows.

The game already has a hard enough time matching players together amongst their own skill level. The game would then also need to find 4 other players you haven't blocked, haven't blocked each other, nor you. Wouldn't take crazy long block lists to essentially cripple matchmaking.

yeah well it’s not behaviors fault if you have a problem with EVERYONE in every match. it’s not their fault if YOUR match making takes long due to you blocking everyone in your region. use it wisely or don’t use it at all type thing. same for dc penalties, you get dc penalties just from being disconnected from the match. it shouldn’t be a problem if you’re not constantly dc’ing making your penalty longer. it would be the same with blocking. don’t block cause you can and you’ll get better match making.

You are aware that other people can block you or other people in your lobby. It's not just whether or not you block people that will affect matchmaking. The existence of the system will mean people will block anyone for any reason which will have a snowball effect of making matchmaking times long even if you block no one.

It blocks the chat as well, right? At least I thought it did, but I might be wrong on that as its not a function I use.

No im not “aware “ that’s the point of discussion post. I don’t have crazy wait times ever for match making like a lot of people claim they do. that’s why i see no problem with it but thanks for your input.

You don't have long wait times right now, because there's no ability to block from being matched with other players. If you added that queues would increase across the board.

Im not saying 1 person's block list would ruin everything. I'm saying you'd constantly be dealing with several lists. Even if everyone's lists only had like 5-10 names, that would have massive consequences. Realisticly, those names would only be from the playerbase in your region, that play during the hours you play, in your skill bracket.
