Just happened now. Doesn’t bother me too much, but I know people will be waiting to see it still. I wonder if Psyonix should/will/can do anything about this..

External link →Report said folks, DM me your platform ID (Steam ID URL, PSN, Gamertag, Nintendo ID) and we can see about muting them for a bit. Then, once again, the sun will rise on a grateful universe.
Does it matter? All you can do is report someone; nothing more. Just because you can't see what their name is doesn't mean you can't still report them. What anonymity does is allow you to go into a game without any preconceived notion that someone is toxic, or bad.
Some scenarios:
You encounter a toxic player on your team. You queue back up and get them on your team again. Anonymity means it won't automatically be toxic and tense due to the previous relationship.
You encounter a toxic player on the opposing team and you queue with them on your team the next game. Anonymity means neither of you will have harsh feelings and will treat each other as new, unknown players.
You play with someone who has an off game. You queue with them again the next game. Anonymity means you won't go into the game frustrated and expecting them to be bad. That same player can play with you again without feeling nervous or anxious because of their previous performance.
My proposal takes nothing away from toxic players. It's all benefits.
Interesting idea, but a name scrambler may have to be session based and not match based, and I can imagine baking this into the RocketID system (which is already a second name on top of your platform ID) would be much easier said than done.
I mean the guy that spoiled part of endgame for me last night had it as his steam name. So I don't think you can help with that unless you want me to DM you his steam name.
You can DM it to me (please do not post in here as it would be witch-hunting) and I can check to see if they are going around playing toxic spoiler.
