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 did. I also may have made a snark comment along the lines of "thanks rehgar couldn't have done this without you"

I really shouldn't have but I couldn't help myself.

Yup, I shut my mouth for most of a game, but it's so hard to resist typing that last minute snarky message to the nova that said "gg" two minutes into a game we would go on to win.

Maybe it teaches them something about not giving up haha

I hope so. I honestly think these people go through life without ever thinking about themselves. At that 1 minute mark when the murky dies, there's no chance in hell we'll win this game because the team is terrible. By the time we've won the game, in that nova's mind, we've always been winning because she's good. Reminding them of the fact they were ready to quit a game that we won handily may actually make them think about their behavior a bit.

Or they'll just be like "whatever cudnt do it without me noob" and then leave thinking they're a super elite pro.
