Please allow unlimited blocked Pins so that we can block intentional leavers in comp.

Please do. I vouch for this as I believe it’s a step in the right direction and would make the playerbase happy.

Aint against it, but, honestly how often does this situation happen?
Priorities, you know…

Enough for me to raise it here.

In my case, i have to add people to the priority list every 2nd/3rd (Sometimes i might get lucky and go 4-5 matches without having to add anyone) match in my current elo, because of the insane increase in throwers/derankers, not to mention extremely toxic players.
Even then, those on the priority list may still end up on your team and it has happened to me multiple times already.
Yesterday i added about 23 people to the priority list and had to remove all three current people from my pinned list to add 3 new players.
It really shouldn’t have to be like this. It’s not rocket science. We need unlimited pinned slots, because the game IS free to play.
Had the game been Buy to Play, i would’ve understood why they decided to limit the void list and pinned slots, but it makes no sense to do so when the game is free to play.

I wonder how this would affect queue times. Say you have 1 million players with 15 people to avoid. That’s 15 million records in a database. Try allowing unlimited blocks and that could turn into 15 billion records. I suspect that queue times would go up a lot just based on the amount of data to use for filtering for 10 people each game.
You used to be able to do this during the start of the OG game.
In short. Not positively.
You could counter that by loosening match making though. So it’s a toss up, do you get on with it and stop avoiding every one you take a slight disliking to… Or, avoid everyone and have to suffer either very long queue times or significantly worse match quality.
Despite what’s said above, it wasn’t a thing. It was introduced as 2 slots, then quickly increased to 3. The 3 pinned and a unlimited rolling list of preferred avoids seems like a healthy compromise for now. Imagine one day they might increase to 4 pins, but would have a massive detrimental impact to the highest ranks.
Thats my whole point Splashbang, the game SHOULDNT be F2P. It is an innocently well meant business decision that is harming the game in the long run, bit by bit chipping away.
It doesn’t seem harm other games, so how’s is it harming OW in your opinion?
Not sure if you’re still around these parts… But they address the avoids and whether they’d increase them in an interview the other day… quite an interesting interview if match making is a subject that interests you.
In short. No. They won’t.
Longer answer is exactly as i suggested… more than 3 pinned avoids breaks high level matchmaking so that isn’t going to happen.
(Sorry for the necro. Thought bubble might like to know it was addressed)
That’s what they want you to believe. It’s literal gaslighting.
Even if it was true, they still have ways to do something about the lower elos eg, unlimited in the bottom 4-5 ranks, after that you get 3 perma slot.
