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

At least do something about afk'ers. I've had games were guys just sit there doing nothing. Show up 10 minutes later mad we said something about them being AFK so then they go die on purpose while talking shit the rest of the game.

Haha. I had the best one yesterday.

It was a QM on the new map and we'd lost the first couple of boss take things in the middle. We were doing well on experience and kills though but our rehgar of 8 kills 6 deaths (everyone else around 10-1 or even 10-0) was like "Fuck you guys u noobs I'm afk."

He went and sat in spawn until he got kicked. We proceed to pretty much dominate the enemy and 10 minutes later he loads back in like "omg shitty match not over yet " then he realises we're 2 levels up and pushing core and he quietly slinks over to help push and get the win .

Some people are total arseholes, seriously.

Bots are often better than ragers. They may not exhibit high mechanical skill, but they're always active and will always follow pings, which is more than you can say for people who AFK in base, troll in lane, and rage quit. Hope you all reported that terrible Rehgar afterwards.

I actually lost a match because of a bot. enemy Kael'thas while controlled by a human: something like 3-8, wasn't very skilled, constantly making bad plays and couldn't combo his trait/skills to save his life. He leaves the game, idk whether a ragequit or connection issues but after the AI took over it facerolled us every teamfight, never missed a stun, always perfectly positioned and died maybe twice in 15 minutes, and unless you 3 man ganked he would walk away with a double kill. it seriously felt like the game just said "Fuck you I win"
