Can't wait for avoided player tier lists

10 AVOID SPOTS IS A BIG W

Why can a Doom spam "and dey say..." endlessly, but I can only say "group up" 3 times until I'm told I'm spamming?

A timeout for leaving 2 quick play matches is ridiculous.

Quality of life UI suggestion: add voice chat indicators to scoreboard. Please consider displaying whether players are in teamvoice or the groupvoice you are currently in on the scoreboard overlay in game. This will provide instant feedback without disrupting gameplay. Current steps required to determine who is in voice: 1. Open the social menu; disengaging from game 2. Memorize names of players in voice 3. Leave the social menu and return to game 4. Bring up the scoreboard overlay 5. Cross reference player names with the hero they're playing By adding this information to the scoreboard overlay you could greatly simplify the process of determining who we can communicate with in voice from five steps to one. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Concern about report system: Is there something in place to prevent false reports? Ex. A team wants to bully one specific player and all report them. With the expected increase in using the report system, this is a legitimate concern. I hope it gets addressed publicly.

Sorry the quick play leaver penalties are waaaaay too harsh at the start. I’m for it but really just harms the casual player base over the more regular player base. Some people leave games early to join with friends, not to mention connection issues or other things. Really worried this cause an increase in AFK’s and throwers

Metro won't be able to find a match anymore

8:16 The fact that Torb's beard glitches in an official dev update is hilarious

Can we start calling McDonalds workers, Senior executive beef scientists?

Idk why, but this gives me hope for the future. Not just the changes they’re making, but the atmosphere of this video. Here’s hoping that we embrace the love this community is capable of. ❤

I sat here the whole time wondering what they were changing about D.VA's defense matrix enough that it was in the video title

On the note of battle tag visibility, can we please restore career profile visibility? It's so frustrating seeing players with GM or even top 500 nameplates get into my plat QP lobbies and knowing that most of the time there's no way of even knowing when it happens. Feels more toxic getting rolled by someone you had no chance of winning against and not knowing otherwise than having that visibility and additional information to give you some perspective.

Suddenly makes a lot sense why the disruptive chat filter is as horrible as it is when you see the senior lead for it…

I know a bunch of players are afraid of the leaver penalties due to connection issues. Ive seen several comments asking for a way to identify if its a disconnection. Im here to tell you, sadly, that wont happen. There is no way for the game to know if its a genuine disconnection or a bad actor intentionally disconnecting to avoid the match.

10 avoid slots. I can now avoid an entire lobby just cus. LETS GOOO

All is great, but there's one thing that bothers me: let spectators be able to say stuff in match chat in custom games please

Minorly sad no more spectator chat. But if it's being used by toxic players increasingly fair enough. It's not really the biggest deal to lose. I hope it still works in custom games for scrims though or at least in private games

TLDR We're adding in several terrible ranked mode group changes that most players will hate, but don't worry, reporting them when they bad mouth you for throwing the match is now easier. Also, we'll be asking you for suggestions on gameplay changes, but will continue ignoring people who want 6v6 back, or want us to make tank an enjoyable role.
