Backlist function vs leaver/unsportsmanlike players
Posted: 17 May 2015, 11:22Since there is no cost to join drafts and no penalty for leaving games, it is a real pain in the ass to draft.
There are people joining drafts with a "no leaver" tag just to dodge the second the draft started and ruining it for 7 other players.
A possible solution would be to allow the blacklisting of people from your tournaments. Another option would be to give a penalty (e.g. 3 days no tournaments) for leaving the tournament while still in the draft and before round 1 is finished.
I understand that you can dodge the penalty or the blacklisting by making a new account but atleast the leaver has to take some time and work for the trolling.
EDIT: Here is another reason why we need a blacklist:
I just started a modern tournament with izzet twin and in match 1, game 1 I already get fucked by a player I would love to blacklist.
He wants me to play the combo out while he has no answer for it and instead he's just going to play another game. While 7 other players wait for him. And after I left the tournament because I don't want to play the combo out in 2-3 games he just left it too....
I added a screenshot for proof.
