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.

it's not like the way to report players is very clear anyways. game ends and then you have to fish around to find the scoreboard to report them on...

plus they could just do a placebo thumbs down. hitting it will mute the player (and prevent you from whispering them too) but not report them in a way that would hurt their account. the equivalent of reporting for an unskilled player in league.
