Solved

When I block someone I don't want to see them in my game again.

Thanks for letting me block cheaters, but when I block someone I don't want to see them again, on either side (I don't want cheaters on my side either). Thanks

    That block ThisCompanyBlowz​ as I said stops them communicating with you but you can still be matched with them in-game. 

    A lot of the time when people accuse others of cheating it is simply the case that another player is better. What may look like cheating to you can be just that, have seen it myself and have seen examples of what you would think is cheating but in reality just a great player.

    We will pass your feedback and concerns on to the team about all this, just worth keeping in mind some of the reasons why it is not as straightforward as you may think.

I understand what you're saying, and agree that some really good players may appear as cheating, but I clarified that it is just one reason why people may want to block other players, toxicity, harassment, unsporting behaviour, etc and I'm sure people have other reasons that would make them want to block a player, some people will just rub some people the wrong way (with or without good reason) it's inevitable, playersbeing just people with the same emotions as they do in real life.

EA and/or Dice have done a great job with not being able to communicate with other people, it blocks most of the toxicity, but not all (there is no way to stop all toxicity, except perhaps by giving players the option to not have to deal with someone or another, for whatever reason).

So, thanks for the detailed responses, I appreciate your time, even more so for raising the issue internally, with the people making the decisions in these matters (even if there is no change now, just simple awareness that not being able to block other people may is a big problem to some people.

In the end, I understand that it's a matter of balance of pros (eg. the issues I raised) and cons (eg. the issue you raised) as to whether or not to give people the option to block others.

Thanks for the feedback and for passing along my concerns, I appreciate it.

    Happy to listen ThisCompanyBlowz​ and will pass the feedback on.

    There's no ideal system that satisfies all but our team continue to work on updating the game and ensure a safe environment for all.
