Currently the blacklisting of a player is abusable, and I feel it needs to be tweaked a bit. I’ve made mention of this a few times, but haven’t posted a suggestion to bring it back in line with how it should be.
Now, I just watched a replay, where a player has blacklisted me, so their chat no longer even turns up in the replay, which it shouldn’t do that at all. It should be in the same manner it is in the game where it’s a click to reveal situation (Or in the replay it should just show in greyed out so there’s no need to click). This makes it so you can’t check any other replays to check whether they are saying the same stupid things in other matches if they blacklist you.
But the bigger abusable situation is that they can PM you and it’ll bring up the alert/tooltip when you get messaged, and open the window, but if they then blacklist you, the window closes thus stopping you from reporting those DMs. If you’re lucky the messages will bug and appear in your own window instead of theirs, but it still closes the window that had them in it.
A scenario I have had happen before is I was actually going to tell a guy why they were struggling in the way they were, and that the person they were concerned was cheating, wasn’t, but most of the way through typing, the message window shut by itself because, they had blacklisted me, merely for denying that there was a person who had got them which wasn’t what they thought it was.
Tonights was the same, there’s a hackusation, I make mention that it’s not, they get all snotty and aggressive and end up blacklisting me.
Turns out they had hit a solid object, got spun, and got shot pretty quickly after that. Plain out silly reason to die, but more silly that they hackuse as the natural reaction to it.
I’m just saying that the hiding of the chat in the replay, and the auto-closing of the window, shouldn’t happen either.
- Yes
- No
While it could be some of this could be a bug, I don’t think it is because there’s been a push to clean up the interface and chat in this manner, and this was one of the changes that came about (The auto-closing of the window) near a year ago.
