How do I block a player in Heroes of the Storm?

How do I block communication from a toxic player in Heroes of the Storm? I found a "blocked players" list under Options → Social, but I don't see any way to add new players to the list.

Social options menu


Blocking works a bit differently depending on whether you are in a game or not.


During a Game

Open the scoreboard with Tab, click the Options icon to the far right of a player's name, and select Block Communication.
