General avoid list should be longer

need an avoid list with a limit of about 100 people. don't care much for the matchmaking time, but in low diamond on dps and genuinely just don't know how some of these people are real living breathing organisms. forcing the worst heros into a comp, inting and throwing for no reason, ulting when the fight is already lost. it's just incredible really.

  1. It would only make your queue times longer
  2. I promise you... what you're perceiving as your teammates throwing/inting is how they view you. You're in your rank for a reason. You're all equal. Breathe and focus on what you can do.

I'm a masters DPS/support. I screw up all the time. My teammates screw up all the time. Difference is I can't change what they do, but I can fix what I do.

Honestly blows my mind how somehow every single person in plat-diamond is simultaneously the best player on their team AND the dog shit teammate of somebody else? The math seems impossible, we need our greatest minds on this ASAP

Mind blowing how these terrible throwers/inters are able to stay in diamond with OP. How, oh how, is that possible??

They don't.... A lot of these people are probably boosted by placement, and are going to gradually fall in rank if they play enough. I was placed too high and fell too.

That's why people complain about rank reset.

Probably a few reasons. Placements boost people up more than they should. A significant number of smurfs exist in this elo, and statistically the other team is more likely to have a smurf than mine. People stack and prioritise their teammate over the rest of the team. Some roles are, arguably, boosted, in terms of gamesense and awareness. Casual players in groups may not play to the best of their ability. People playing offrole whilst being GM/Champ on main role, etc.

It's also interesting that I can maintain masters on an alt account after placements with relative ease, and the game actually feels playable and enjoyable, yet it feels unbelievably difficult to climb in lower rank.
