So ever so often i play a match with teammates who are either extremely toxic or intentionally griefing which ruins the gaming experience for me. Luckily Riot added the option to block these players in game and after game to make sure that i DO not encounter these type of toxic players again. But i find it kind of annoying that if i accidentally forgot to block these players, I have to find their name in the recently played list and manually type their name into the block list. Sometimes, i have to back track ever so often because i can not remember how to spell their name and i have to start all over since the text typed in would be auto deleted if i change list. In addition, some players have names that contain either special characters or issues with their name being different than what appear on the list (my friend changed his IGN but the friend list never updated). I feel like adding the option to block players directly by right clicking on their name should be added since that option is already implemented on the friend list already. I know it may sound meaningless to some players due to the fact that the chances of me playing with this player again to be very slim that the chance of this happening is next to zero but I just want to be able to get rid of any loose ends.

Blocking prevents these players from sending you friend requests or messaging your account. It does not affect matchmaking in any way.

This is because there are very few people at high ELOs online at any given time. This makes queue times much longer. If blocking prevented you from being matched with people, queue times would go through the roof. It would completely mess up the matchmaking system.
