We really need a way to report teammates
I have never needed the ability to report an opponent in a lobby. But I have had countless times where a teammate went out of their way to ruin our chances of winning. I just had a guy sell his entire board and throw when we were way in the lead because he didn't like a minion I passed him. It's insane how some people are just bent on acting like losers

Why did you pass him the 3rd deflecto bot 🤣

Lord. I'm pretty sure I passed him a third of whatever the elemental mech is (he was running mechs)

Yes please. I recently played galakrond with a sylvana teammate, she started playing mechs, but My lvl6 was a holorover and I got the mission that gives u a free attack at the start of everything turn, so I went with that. I started giving her some mechs and gold, thinking that I could go rally menagerie, and she could play something else, the moment I didn't give her all My mechs she just went afk. Ended up 1st anyway (12 gold value every turn is broken asf) but it still rubbed me the wrong way.

It's SO frustrating. Like the last 6 games I've played, my teammates have wanted the minion types I was using. Doesn't matter if I was going for them first, already had a full board by turn 4, or if my hero type literally called for the minions. It's insane how bad it's gotten.

Had two teammates today not playing any minions. Just watching me play, not responding to any pings, and hovering over my minions, but also not quitting.

Sucks. Sometimes I just bite the bullet and quit myself because I don't care about rating, but it's also rough because I don't want to give them the satisfaction haha

I disagree with you simply because it would turn the game too competitive and some people aren’t at fault for being AFK (game crashes and other bugs) also I don’t trust blizzard to do the right thing with reports, it could be abused quite easily, best solution just get a duos partner, I semi agree with having a penalty to players selling their board but also in some cases it’s the optimal play, what happens then?

On a counter note I believe that blizzard should introduce a behaviour score system, one that teams people up based on their behaviour, longer queue times are a possibility but it negates the abuse aspect of reports and also I can confidently say if they did implement a report feature that penalised people for their plays it would 100% cause more harm that good,
If they struggle making passing a team mate a card easy, then imagine what they’d do with something complex like integrating a system that has to watch replays of games and decide whether a report is punishable, or even worse hire a team to do it?
Not a chance

Maybe you should ask which minions to pass just saying

I usually do, but when you're in a time crunch and you see a triple for your teammate sometimes you just grab it and pass without thinking. Simple mistakes (especially when that was the ONLY thing I did that he didn't like) shouldn't warrant throwing a big fit

You're always in a time crunch. Failure to communicate is just an instant loss imo.

did you also happen to question his choices with marks and then start trying to play his board for him by marking stuff in his shop? Just curious.
Bonus points if you started neglecting your own board to try and play his for him.
