What does preferring a player do?
In OW, you can view current players on the server as well as recent players through the social tab.
If you right click on a name in the current game menu, there is an option to "Prefer Player".
Now I'm not sure what exactly this does, so I tried activating it. I thought perhaps it would let me stay in the same team as him but for the next 4 matches, even though most of the server stuck around, including him, I was never matched with him once.
If anything, what does "preferring a player" do? If 6 players perfer one single player, and that player is the same, is it supposed to cluster them together? How does this work?

It will enable a feature that if that player you preferred is matchmaking at the same time as you, it will try to matchmake you with them.
Same thing with avoid a player, it will not let you play with that person in the future.
