Overwatch team has published a new developer update video dedicated to a new feature known as Avoid as Teammate. Game director Jeff Caplan discusses how this feature will help players control their game experience. It allows players to avoid up to two players as teammates for the period of seven days. The team will closely monitor how the feature performs and what possible side effects it can bring.
You can find out about other changes coming to the game in the patch notes:
The addition of the “Avoid as Teammate” option gives players the ability to craft their online gameplay experience. Up to two players can be selected with this feature. If you use the “Avoid as Teammate” option on a player, the matchmaker will no longer place you on a team with the avoided player for one week. To learn more about this feature, click here.
