What's the difference between blocking and muting a player?

In Overwatch, there are 3 options for dealing with toxic players. Mute, Report, and Block.

Mute will keep you from hearing a player on voice chat or seeing what they type in-game.

Block will prevent a player from private messaging you or adding you on Live/PSN.
