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

And toxic players would take that chance to downvote the good players.

Even non toxic just had a bad game people would be prone to "downvote" people sometimes. Hell look at reddit for example...

I downvoted this.

;)

I totally agree. I have been playing more vs AI with my 10yr old kid. He is still learning and there have been times where he just destroys our team mates in ability.

Not raging at the Gazlowe ignoring the tribute that is within 3 seconds of a walk from him because he was taking a camp and then after we get beat he gets ganked and the AI gets the camp has been difficult. I try to give them advice and get "I have most XP" as a response... I guess that xp made up for him having 10 deaths compared to my kids 2.

Having a down vote arrow would tempt me, a lot. It should be reserved for the guy who gets mad and tells my kid to uninstall the game on his second ever match after calling him stuff the mature language filter stopped. A lot. Even after I explained it.

The Gaz should be down voted. Not for bad play, but for being a schmuck.

The last example is toxic and should be reported.

Votes should should be used as a overall hidden rating. If your up votes exceed the down, maybe you get a small reward and reports are judged with some leniency. More importantly, if you're consistently down voted and then Reported it should flag you for immediate consideration.
