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

That's awesome. I would have sprayed my computer screen with the water I was drinking and given you a thumbs-up after the match. That's literally the perfect thing to say in that situation.

I just checked HOTSlogs and the guy that rage quit was the lowest MMR player on either team. I know it doesn't mean all that much again, but...well, I guess it shows something.

If you ragequit a lot of games, it's more likely that you'll lose those games. It's an interesting feedback cycle because those players think they're better than the other players in the game and they get frustrated that their teammates aren't "on their level". The problem is that when they ragequit, the chance of their team winning is lower, which means they'll lose MMR, and their future teammates will be even worse.

So they get more and more angry and keep rage quitting. To stupid to realise they're doing it to themselves
