I want blocking to block them from my games

Hi - I'd like for block to work so that I don't ever get on the same team with that player. Thanks for listening.

A few games have actually tried this! It sounds like a great idea, but it causes some serious problems, especially at higher tiers of play where the playerbase is smaller. People used it to effectively blacklist people they didn't think were good players (behavior aside), so they would simply be sure of never having them on their team. In Overwatch it actually led to one Widowmaker player having queue times that were several hours long!

You may actually never see them in your games again, League has so much people playing at any moment, that it's a pretty big possibility of you never meeting most of them.

Besides, this system wouldn't work. People would just block anyone, and eventually queues would get so long, that some players would have to wait for hours to get to a game.

Edit: I started a game without pressing "save" on this comment. I'm an idiot.

And damn you Djinn, and your lightning fast responses.
