if I put them on my ignore list, will I still have them on my team ?
Yes. It only prevents them from randomly grouped with you in the dungeon finder system.

Would be nice if we got decide for which Blitz Battlegrounds we could sign up for, or at least let us exclude the ones we hate. Itâs always a gamble which screen is going to pop up and it becomes a huge disappointment when itâs one of those you really donât want to play.
If they make 2 different blitz sure. One rated and one normal blitz where you can exclude.

Why would that matter?
Current version doesnât have real rating and itâs supposed selling point is allowing people to enjoy playing with a solo queue without a competitive setting in which you need to form a pre-made team. I hardly doubt excluding one of the game modes you donât like will have an impact.
Itâs no different from separating âepic BGâsâ from âBGâsâ
Either way, the alternative that we have now is just leaving when you get a BG you donât like. It just ruins it for other people with no added benefit whatsoever.
Im not even sure you read what I wrote.
My point were when they make it rated next expansion there shouldnt be an exclusion.
And they can have another âblitzâ without rated where you can exclude.
Yes and Iâm asking why. What does it matter? Just curious.
Iâd be fine with either, just seems more work.
Theres a few dangers with the ability to exclude maps in rated environment.
Making it easier for premades to que up without a group.
Easier for wintraders.
Longer que depending if a map is more âhatedâ than liked but others might like it.
Its not just âprosâ when it comes to changing it in such a way that it becomes easier to abuse for certain types of group/people.

Yeah, that would be understandable. But I do think a point for introducing PvP âratedâ Blitzes, was to get the people who donât enjoy Arena and prefer doing Battlegrounds, back into PvP.
Arena has the same objectives everywhere, killing the other team before they kill you. Battleground has a different objective per battleground.
So it makes complete sense if you allowed people to choose their Battleground based on what they actually enjoy playing.
Aka, thatâs what they had to do with Epic BGâs because a part of players fundamentally hated certain maps so very much we got two brackets. The earlier Random Battleground tools allowed you to exclude up to two disliked battlegrounds.
So now youâre still not getting the people who enjoy certain kinds of BGâs, but not all of them.
Either way since, itâs solo queue nobody cares about leaving because youâre not letting anyone down. Be it âratedâ or âunratedâ, so the alternative is people just leaving rated games by the people who donât care about their rating.
But perhaps thatâs still better than people trying to queue sync, I guess.
Makes no sense when it comes to rated, thats the difference. Also why I said they could just âcopyâ current blitz and make one rated and make one unrated while adding the option to exclude a few maps.
So basically you are already saying alot of ppl will leave rated blitz due to not being able to choose the map? Then I hope those ppl get punished hard and not do it like they did with RSS and just allow it. 
Like I said, I dont mind if they do it on an unranked blitz since its kinda whatever but I personally want rated blitz to be less ppl solo RBGs.
Solo queue in itself doesnât make any sense when it comes to âratedâ random battlegrounds, hence I consider it a Moot point. IF you are going to accommodate this (âratedâ solo queue and spawning into a random BG team with random objectives), excluding a map at least makes it available to more people. The âcredibilityâ and thus rewards of the rating based on effort or skill, would not change.
That is just my take, of course.
Ha, then you get the old even worse scenario. People not leaving the BG because of the punishment, but just being present and dragging the entire team down by being afk but not quite.
I am rather curious how they will handle it when the rating actually starts to matter, should become interesting.
Which is called griefing and isnt allowed either.
But they dont rly follow through when ppl grief by actively leaving in RSS so.
I actually dont agree, but we see different on this part anyway which is quite clear, I see more cons than pros with excluding maps or game modes involving rated PvP content.
But there are also times I think too much about cons.
Kinda agree, it will be interesting to see if they will change any of their standings on how punishments should be handled and how they do it against leavers and griefers ^^
