Re:Positive Merits - HotS "Honor"/Commendation instead of MVP screen?

Melke seems to have deleted his thread before I got to read it, but its title did get me thinking. We really should have some sort of tangible positive merit system in HotS.

You basically get to give one player on your team one of three commendations (leadership, friendliness, and level-headedness).

I’m thinking something like this:

• When the game ends, you get to give one of your (non-party member) teammates a commendation for either skilled play, good leadership, or being friendly and/or a good mediator. This is optional, and you can opt out.
• When you get a commendation, you will be notified what the commendation was for, but not who gave it to you.
• Having a high commendation level could increase exp or gold earned from games and earn extra shards and/or cosmetic rewards on a regular basis (like every quarter-season or so).
• Players with high commendation levels get fewer games in leavers queue if they end up DCing or leaving a game.
• Your commendation level decreases whenever a punitive action is taken against your account (warning, silence, suspension, or ban) or you leave a game.
