Whaaa, permanent avoid. Goodbye all the trolls and idle MF ruining matches for people

There is a limit to how many though. 1st it was avoid 3 players for like 7 days now thats permanent. Whole avoiding others for a week then you'll have to we add them and its like 15 slots I remember

too little too late
should have done this in the first place instead of of 2 players for a short time

[blackblades]

Its not to late, when people are still playing it.

You mean like a block list? 🤔

[blackblades]

Na, there is a block list but that just basically a mute for them but still able to play with them. Avoid is just avoiding but they did say you'll still end up playing with them if queue time is long which is never long these days

[isarai]

Ive never once experienced a block function that only muted them, then again i haven't really played pvp mp regularly since bf1. But every time I have blocked someone i never matchmake with them again.
