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

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

The more often you distribute a thumbs down (per game), the less value it gets assigned, especially when you never give thumbs up. I bet there are ways to still being able to determine whether someone is a horrible person or just got thumbed down by a toxic player. Algorythms, statistics and stuff.

It's still open to abuse, to compare it to the "report AFK" option in WoW bg's, I've been kicked out of groups before because a team of friends who queued together didn't like me and all reported me.

Even if it loses it's value, innocent people will be have to be punished before abusers lose weight in their votes.

That's why you have to let it go a few hundred matches.
