Add Function To Keep Blocked People Out Of Party

I'm having the issue where I'd block someone either because they're toxic, simply rude, or some other reason like sabotaging the gameplay. Yet, these players still randomly get matchmaked onto my tea...

@pandareno1999 I just got yet ANOTHER blocked player on my team because the game matchmaked me with their console squadmate. If I blocked someone, I don't wanna play with them AT ALL.

@Midnight9746 Unfortunately, that is NOT how Block functions. If Blocking someone prevented you from queuing with them, it would be exploited. It would mean that your would be able to override matchmaking, and essentially hand-pick your teammates, by blocking everyone else on your server. This would be game breaking and TERRIBLE!

    @TheGhostOfKievHonestly, don't care. I don't wanna see these players on my team at all.

    There's thosands of players playing the game, they can afford having people blocked from ques.

    Also by your logic of "it could be abused", there's several things that got abused and most of them aren't even fixed... such as audio, spitfire, matchmaking, (if cheating) getting into pred with bronze, (if cheating) DDOSing, (if cheating) getting into streamer's games and holding their games hostage, Lifeline's reviving in Arenas, etc.

    There's nothing really "abusive" about it either, like why do I want these teammates? Why? I really don't. This was in Arenas and the enemy team were all PREDS. If they don't wanna fix their matchmaking, then I'd rather "filter" it.

    *starts another match* - these two are different players

    The game after this, I suddenly had higher level teammates, and the enemy team were all low levels. They were level 11, 14, and 5. This isn't "matchmaking" or "SBMM" when my teammates were 500+

        @TheGhostOfKiev So, you're saying that if a player sabotaged your game, and caused you to lose a lot of ranked points, they get to rejoin your team and do it all over again? Doesn't quite make much sense, now does it.
