  1. Only two? I have two teammates every game that I would never want to play with again.

  2. So great as an australian masters torb main i will now instead of already waiting an hour for a game I have to wait even longer because because everyone will avoid me

  3. How about a forfeit match feature so were not stuck in a match with a thrower and waste our time

  4. Dear, Overwatch Game Developers, now I know you disagree with role select but just think about the survival of the game here. We know you want to add heroes that are mixed classes sort of like Brigitte, and add small systems like avoiding teammate. But majority of the community want role select and yes it will mean longer wait times but its worth it for a good even game than having 1 good game and a bunch of bad games, but I don’t decide what you want to implement and thats your choice. And by the way you don’t only run into 2 throwers in overwatch (at least 2 per game) and thats why role select is perfect, because its also a cure for less toxicity in Overwatch, because your team doesn’t get angry because of 5 DPS mains. If you introduce this system the level in people playing competitive will sky rocket (so much the servers will crash). Like if you agree with this statement.

  5. gonna avoid myself as a teammate

  6. مهند الزهراني

    three words : BRING MERCY BACK !!!

  7. Nerf Zen huh?

  8. Take my virginity D A D D Y

  11. BYE ABANDONED BYE BUILDATURRET HAHAHA

  12. I stopped playing overwatch since uprising and im still watching these

  13. Omg I love!!!! Now can we make prefer this player work?

  14. Avoiding two is pretty reasonable, I will go back and play siege now

  15. Super good idea but … I don’t really see an idiot twice in a game, because I’m not Master or something.
    I don’t see how it would help me when I’m playing with 30 idiots a day.

  16. Wow I can avoid the two trolls in all of Overwatch! Because that all that there is in the game two not a single one more!

  17. when available servers in middle east ?
    all players in middle east playing with ping 90+ and i have lag in final match
    i get loose to my team because the ping very high

  18. So now anyone who doesn’t want me to play the characters I like to play can avoid me, forcing me to never get matched to a game again? Cool… I’ll just keep letting my game collect dust in the shelf..
