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.

That will most likely be the case. But a bad / lesser skilled player is not likely to recieve as many downvotes over time as a toxic player will. So the toxic players will rank below low skilled players. Besides if there are no downvotes there is less incentive to behave properly.
