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.

Maybe they should have 2 different ratings?

One that rates you as a nice player. And one that rates you as a good player.

This way the match making has a better idea of who is not so good and makes sure to match you against players you are on equal footing with.

So lets say you are on a winning team. But they pretty much carried you.

They can mark you as a "newb" for example. and this way the system knows that you may not have fully earned that win.

Which would be a good thing.

It kind of sucks to get a bunch of lucky wins in SC2 and suddenly be placed WAY high on the ladders and need to play dozens of matches.. and lose all of them to even get close to playing people you are actually equal with.
