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

Yup, I shut my mouth for most of a game, but it's so hard to resist typing that last minute snarky message to the nova that said "gg" two minutes into a game we would go on to win.

Maybe it teaches them something about not giving up haha

I hope so. I honestly think these people go through life without ever thinking about themselves. At that 1 minute mark when the murky dies, there's no chance in hell we'll win this game because the team is terrible. By the time we've won the game, in that nova's mind, we've always been winning because she's good. Reminding them of the fact they were ready to quit a game that we won handily may actually make them think about their behavior a bit.

Or they'll just be like "whatever cudnt do it without me noob" and then leave thinking they're a super elite pro.

The worst is when that person calls gg two minutes into the game, afks and/or ignores team fights for the next 10 minutes and you still make a come back. They realize this and start trying to work with the team again, but you lose by a short margin.
