Three Avoid as Teammate slots really isn’t enough
I’ve now had two competitive matches where someone on my team saw me hovering Rogue and deliberately banned her anyway.
Both times it was someone I had previously muted for being extremely toxic (I only mute people who are deliberately malicious or extremely toxic). I hide my name, but I talk on mic during the ban phase to coordinate bans, so they likely recognized my voice. Rogue is good right now, but she’s nowhere near such a mandatory ban that either situation made much sense otherwise.
Obviously banning someone’s hover isn’t something you get suspended or penalized for (even though it is frowned upon and pretty toxic). You’re allowed to ban whoever you want. That’s actually why I think Avoid as Teammate is a great compromise: if someone hasn’t technically done anything punishable but you don’t want to play with them again, you can just avoid them and move on.
The problem is we only get three slots.
Those two players now occupy two of mine, leaving one spot for every toxic player, troll, thrower, or anyone else I genuinely don’t want on my team again.
I understand why the list can’t be unlimited, especially at higher ranks, but three feels way too restrictive. Even five would be a big improvement, and personally I’d love to see something closer to 10.
Posting this mostly because I’m curious how many other people feel the same way. If there’s enough support for increasing the number of Avoid slots, hopefully it’s something the devs might consider implementing.
