An option I wouldn't mind seeing in the game

Some kind of a block player option that would allow us to not be in the same league with obvious tankers in the future seasons. I've got one sharing my division in Gold this season and they're clearly manipulating to lose in order to drop down another level. It'll be their second consecutive tank and their record shows a history of tanking down and rising back up. I wish I had their roster...
If not for this tanker, who my team is 10-2 against, my team would be slightly under .500 and possibly get relegated back to Silver. I try for my teams to do their best every season and have never attempted to lose on purpose. I simply do not desire any of my teams to have to deal with this type of player ending up in their league.
My apologies for the rant.

A block feature is terrible. People would abuse it and just block the better teams at their level. Plus it would add a lot of complication to the league generation process.

The correct solution to this is for blatantly tanking teams to be caught and dealt with.

Or even better fix the perverse incentive structure that causes people to want to tank in the first place, but that's been a talking point for three years now.

Always just talk...talk, talk...tired of talking & then having fanbabies rip me & others apart...apparently they the guilty ones. Have noticed so many ppl not happy with the way the game has evolved.

Thanks for bringing up the potential for abuse, I was going to mention it but got interrupted and submitted the post because I knew that I wasn't going to get back to the computer before getting auto-logged out.
