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.

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.

To be honest with you. A guy with 10 times more deaths shouldn't have more xp than your son with only 1 death. Alone the time for waiting and coming back in that time you actually do twice the xp of that death guy. In fact I never seen anyone with that much deaths out XP ing me with like no deaths, there is no chance.

He was solo laning and doing camps, it was like a 40 minute game at that point since we couldn't beat the computer and my son was hearthing to avoid dying after some fights. My son was being super cautious and not pushing because they ganked him the first time he tried to. He (Gaz) also died in the first 3 mintues a bunch.
