In 3.19, we introduced several new tools and features to reduce unfair play and improve the overall quality of your RISK games.
The highly requested blocklist is now available to all players.
We’ve heard stories of players using their friends list as a defacto block list. Now all players can block users from both the pregame lobby to the postgame.
Navigating Block lists
Home screen, press friends panel icon at the top right (where arrow points)
Within the Friends panel, tap on any player's avatar to add, remove and manage players between your Friends and Blocked lists. All players currently on your blocked list are displayed within the “Blocked” tab. Your block list may already be populated, these are people you have reported in the past. This means if you report someone, that player will be automatically added to your block list.
Block lists (like Friends lists) will currently block up to 500 players - when you add more after this they will replace your oldest blocked accounts. We’re exploring solutions to increase this number which would likely land in 3.20.
Block players from the pre-game lobby.
Additionally, more options have been added to the pregame screen by tapping on a player's avatar. Doing so reveals a mini-menu with options to View Profile (Non-Ranked games only), Report, Block, or Mute the chat of the chosen player.
Block players from the post-game screen.
You can now block players directly from the post-game screen. On the “Add New RISK Friends” screen, select the red block icon under the player you want to block. Then, confirm by selecting the green tick. You can still send friend requests from this screen too.
Blocked players are banned from your pregame lobbies
Blocked players cannot enter your hosted lobbies and will be flagged regardless of whether they are hidden behind a persona if they join a non-hosted lobby you are also in.
