I would be more than happy to pay for a few permanent slots to avoid certain players, rather than this 7 day thing. If it means waiting longer for games, also happy to pay that price. Come on Blizzard, give me 5 perma slots for $20 or something?
No no no no no. Give it is for free not 20 freaking dollars!

Bro there’s a reason why they didn’t give it you already ?
Yeah the problem is that they also increase the times of the avoided player.
They should make the slots rank related though, so GM keep 3, but masters have 5, Diamonds 7, plats 10, gold 12, silver 10 and bronze 8 for example.
It should increase the wait times for avoided players - that’s how it works, right? If people don’t want to play with you?
Let’s not argue about the detail - personally I would happily pay to avoid a few peeps on the perm.

Yeah no I would pay too but the problem is that beyond certain threshold, it seems that adding more slots only brings “trouble” to the MMR system and bad Customer Experience to Blizzard.
No, it should not. That’s not the purpose of avoiding a player. Players can report and/or avoid, but they should never get the power to actually decide about punishment. Players avoid others for many different reasons, and no one should have their wait time increased because some people avoided them because they like to play Torbjörn, or even because they didn’t perform well in a few matches.
I personally wouldn’t mind a few more avoid slots, but not at the cost of it having an effect on queue times for everyone.
how slim is the chance of being matched with 1 certain person for longer than few hours anyway? pointless idea which would strain at servers resources…
In my opinion you should have an avoid list of 1000 players minimum. As you add numbers 1001, 1002 then number 1 and 2 drop off. There’s players every game I would be happy if I never saw online again.

Yes it absolutely should, actually. If you find yourself in a long queue because nobody wants to play with you, then you should think about why that is. If you’re in the same rank for long enough for it to be a problem, then even more so.

I rather wait for 30mins for a game than play with all these throwers at bronze level. 6 players in 6 direction, tanks refuse to contest payload, dps never groups with tanks, I keep healing as much as i can but there’s no point, just losing game after game, no matter I tell team to group up etc. There should be at least 20 slots to avoid players

yeah i agree i rather have permament avoid on some players and wait longer than to deal with certain people. Nothing triggers me as mutch as when both tanks get killed and the dps thatsurvided runs the opposite direction of the point/ payload when its about to be overtime while the tanks that just died desperately tries to get back in time to shield the team jsut for the match to end up as a lose cause some dps rather lose the game than to lose his kill streak 
. And trust me you have no idea how many one trick genji that would be on that list im so sick of playing a defence round and even when you ask nice and almost begging them to change genji they still stick with genji so the enemy team runs you over
