since this change was apparently announced on the forums back in april or may, that means it's fair game to mention this useless block system in steam reviews.
let’s be clear: this isn’t a “block” feature anymore. it’s just a mute.
here’s what i think:
【when the block system actually works】
you can avoid players who are toxic or harmful to your experience
you can avoid players with huge differences in experience or skill
players end up matched with others around the same level (since both sides block each other)
as long as there are skin or mode updates, the game stays fun—solo or with friends
the game gets more positive reviews, and even if it doesn’t explode in popularity again, it stays fun and welcoming for new or returning players
【when the block system doesn’t work】
people notice they’re still getting matched with blocked players, and start having less fun
players who feel outmatched or overwhelmed get frustrated and quit
the actual player base drops, and we end up with real matchmaking issues
more negative reviews get posted
the game stops selling and development of new skins/modes slows down or stops entirely
if you’re not going to fix the block system, then at least remove the taunt emotes and in-game chat that let winning players harass others.
if people want to talk, they can do it privately through messages or in the cabin.
do the devs seriously not realize that the current system only favors the players who win?
