    I don't think this is going to happen, because of blocking prevents getting matched up it could easily be exploited. Lost against someone? No problem! Just block and never encounter them again :)

    Im gonna add a comment here everytime I get a player to stall me when they are WINNING.

    Starting this with a player taking maximun time to claim his price card (one of the two cards he had remaining).


    Please add an option to block players. x1

    Sounds like you are running into bugs, not so much a player specific action

    Nope, its not bugs. Today aurore33610 had me waiting while he healed his pokemon with potions and supports while only needing to attack my 60 hp magnemite to win.


    Counting since last post:

    5 matches with no problems.

    Today 16:09 vs 21:45

    I think an in-match “report player” function would work in these cases instead of a block button, as @PachirisuFan1 mentioned earlier a block button that prevents player from ever pairing up with another user (as opposed to the chat-related block button Online had) would wreak havoc and potentially break matchmaking.

    Just to keep the thread alive and maybe push it to the top.

    The problem is worse then ever.

    Nearly everyone post rotation gives up while I pick up my last price cards, resulting in less rewards.

    Its just bad sportsmanship and there has to be a way to report or block player.

    I mean, I see the point: I lost, I block so I never have to face this player again, but if someone does this all the time the person itself will have no oponents so it would not be a problem for the broad playerbase in my opinion.

    A few things that annoy me the most without having this. Is that some players will just start putting up stall walls now with budew stone mask mimyku etc. Even retreat locking with other mon's and it's annoying. I don't want to matchmake with those kinds of people because I already used all my options to get out. those aren't normal people who play they are lunatics. (I play festival lead)

    For real, there are decks I refuse to play against because they are as well balanced as Surströmming smells good. I should not have to be forced to play against a deck I don't want to. There is no punishment for stalling, no punishment for cheesing, no punishment for anyone but players who just want to play the game against a fair deck. This is one reason why online tcg is taking a dive imo. Just because the likely hood of facing the same player is close to zero is not enough. I should be able to dictate who I play against. I don't want to play against a whale who has all the best cards while I have to struggle with suppar cards.

    I will die on this hill, this is one of the most stupid things tcg games don't impliment. It makes no sense.
