This playerbase is order of magnitudes lower than Overwatch that implemented it.

Just think about how likely it is to happen if you ALREADY complain about wait times.

Consider that Overwatch matches are 6v6 (IIRC), we have at least DOUBLE the number that drops on the same side (12v12).

Math, please learn it.

Oh, that's great idea. I'd block OP for being useles lurm lover, and that guy in ERLL raven, and then I win all the games. 10/10

See.. this is exactly what I'm talking about.. you don't want to play with me for your reasons, and I don't want to play with the likes of you for my own reason, yet, we are both forced to play together.. how about no? I'm sure they could come up with some sort of measures to discourage misuse..

Not worth the extra strain on the matchmaker IMO.

Just practice getting along with people, annoying weirdos are part of life and we're best off sharing that burden together.

I say we do it, then we can read how he has such long wait times and nobody to drop with.

The funny thing is, I play alot of LRM boats, and in most games, are the one leading the charge, taking damage, and doing just as much od kills, damage, KMDDs and everything that matters, (and often more) than most people.. but yeah, go on and be prejudiced, cose' all lurmers are just terrible players, right?

What do you mean? Its going to be great. We will build a wall around matchmaker and make tier5 pay for it. This will be the greatest idea of them all.

I have never gotten TKed on purpose or even received intentional team damage.
I wonder how one would have to behave to have that happen to them regularly...

Actually, this reminds me...has Russ or any of the Devs mentioned details as to the forthcoming auto-ban feature that was mentioned in the Road Map? Ok, did I imagine this? I don’t see it in the road map but I swear I read this somewhere.

Exactly my thoughts and I've run LRM boats a decent amount as well. I too wonder what OP is doing to make this a problem fornhimself

I want to block all Inner Sphere players from my FP matches, please, thank you very much.

Only if we nerf Clans a bit more beforehand, cause they´re still SO OP

B.t.t.:
My blocking list is still empty, despite having been matched with blockers, TK´ers and plain atrocious players, yet I still don't go around crying for such people to get placed on the enemy team only, mainly because I don't give a lowflying shart about them .
Errare humanum est ... still counts and with the playerskill at an all-time low even more so, I dare say .

OP, get over yourself and show some class (despite being a LRM aficionado^^).

I read that too and I'm not sure it is implemented? If so, "how" it works needs to be kept a secret because if announced, I'm pretty sure there are a few players who would immediately exploit how it works...

This situation is such a shame...in all games no less. the entire videogame community is stuck in toxic behaviors on "both sides" of the computer: micro-transactions and P2W; and, terrible player behaviors because there is litttle or no way to contain them or simply toxic anti-social meriticracy that only reinforces bad behavior???

This game has seen it. This game is smaller because of it. Is there an answer??? For many, stop playing and that hurts us all.

Yesterday I dropped in canuone network, conquest. My lance (alpha) pushed the right side to take the node. As we were moving in, the enemy alpha lance was showing up on the scene. I attacked. I was in a vindicator 1x. My first shot, a snubnose ppc, was intercepted by the back of the urby that cut infront of me. Oops. I apologize. It blocked my shot, ao I moved to reposition and clear my fireline. I fired my mrm40. The ueby walked into the end of my shot. By this point I was taking fire from enemy lights. Ibahifted targets and my lance takes down a commando and a jenner. The urby is face hugging the enemy phoenixhawk with our locust. I move to get a clear shot and open up with my 3 lmg's. The ueby didnt have. Chance. He walked into my line of fire, and I sandblasted his very open back armor. I tk'd him. People started going nuts on coms. People that hadn't even seen the fight. The locust killed the phoenix hawk, the mistlynx killed me and the locust. I left the match, thinking it over. Nope, I got a friend invite, amd after my next match found my chat box blasted. I thanked him for the advice and blocked him. I'd gladly drop woth them again, I just hope they dont put the back of their mech immediately infront of the muzzle of my snubby.

Dramatically increasing the player population (2x or 3x) and limiting your block list to about 3 people. If you've got problems with more than 3 people, you've got to cycle someone off of the list. That's the closest you could get.

"Block" functions in games work the same way as blocking someone's number on your phone, they automatically stop the communication but they don't stop them walking up to you and talking. They're working exactly as intended.
