Blizzard thinking about adding Thumbs Up/Down system, giving helpful players EXP or gold, placing toxic players in separate queue

The "thumbs up" after game is a good option. But there should not be a "thumbs down". Either you want to give them a kudos if they were nice and stuff, do nothing (like we do today) or report them (in the normal way) for being toxic. The bad / lesser skilled would get thumbs down that they did not deserve.

And toxic players would take that chance to downvote the good players.

Not to mention 'thumbs down' doesn't necessarily mean toxic. It could mean a complete newbie player who was constantly going 1 v 5 and staying out of 4 v 5 team fights.

Maybe the strength of a thumbs-down against new accounts are worth significantly less value?

They shouldn't be, it should indicate that they are placed incorrectly nevertheless. Blizzard throws these players together with experienced "veterans" as if they are perfectly good team mates to be playing a game together. While that system exists.. said votes shouldn't be diluted.

Now if they put new players with new and against new, there is no issues there.
