I would love to be able to add notes to each player. Info about what they played in my games, if they were any good, etc.
Of course, this may be a problem with streamer mode so perhaps you can add notes to players but if they are in streamer mode then you can’t see the notes in-game, only when not in-game.
Hit P, hover over a player and a panel would open with your notes and a + to edit/add to the notes.
I like the idea of this, but I think the Overwatch community specifically couldn’t handle it. If you choose to play an off meta hero, even if you’re good, people would note you for being a bad player. There’s something contemptable about the entitlement players have in this game.
What would it even matter? Oh noes, the Internet believes I was bad at a video game! Let them. All the more satisfying when you int into their spawn and get dunked on after you died. Wait, what? 
The notes are for you or the other player?
If they are for you, it’s kinda… Okay? It doesn’t affects people much, but I don’t see the reason.
If the notes are to be seen by other players, things will go as follow:
"Geez, I wonder if my teammates had a good time, let me check the notes they left:
Having that trash next to your profile as a note would 100% matter to a lot of people. Not to me; I’ve always had open channels so people can send me hatemail on my PS4/Xbox accounts. Its funny to me. But remember, there’s 12 year olds playing that will be legitimately emotionally hurt because people said mean words to them online.
That’s is totally true. I feel bad when it happens to other people. I purposely make the toxic player focus on me instead just in case they are attacking someone going through it or whatever. How nice and humble is that from the perfect human?!
So you want to open notepad, and do it that way. You’d get the same results.
Its also a tonne of good banter. So fun to bite back.
There’s a note system on Bnet, and I use it to help me remember how I met someone or why I added them. However, adding tracking details to profiles of random people probably has too much potential for abuse (hatefulness, creepiness, etc.).
If they do that… that’s on them. It should only be viewable to the player doing it anyway, so if they choose to be toxic about that, they’re likely toxic about other stuff so it doesn’t matter if they do that. Let the people who use it for good, use it for good stuff and the truly toxic ones will be banned anyway.
I don’t follow. If I add a note to a player, I’m the only person that can see that note.
Im guessing they have to be your friend to add notes to them on BNet?
OP, I like the idea, but they would have to be private notes (ie only the player can see them). I love taking notes on my phone for very specific infomation. Having this ability in OW2 would be quite usefully, especially when you choose “Avoid Teammate”.

No, all notes you add are private to you. You can add notes to anyone but only you can read them. Some special handling for streamer mode where you can add notes and view them outside of game but not in-game. For anyone else you (and only you) can view them any time, including in-game.
Yeah this had “bad idea” written all over it.
Even if it is just private notes that only you can see? How would that be different from just writing things down on paper? Apart from being a lot more convenient to have it on the person and just hover to see it?
Had an idea!
Let us have flowfeedback style VOD reviews able to do notes within replays!
Time stamps and all!
And community can do VOD reviews and players can “upvote” the best ones!
But only if you make your replay public!
And best VOD review earns them 100 in game coins!
I like the idea of this as well, which gave me an even better idea, I wish we had a system like Xbox 360 did for profiles. You can go to their profile and ‘rate’ them under different categories. Example:
Trash talk: 50%
Unsupporting: 50%
Language: 50%
Quit Early: 50%
Agressive: 50%
Disruptive: 50%
(I just used 50% as an example, of course as people would rate you would determine your percentage).
It depends what someone would do with their notes. Would they keep it to themselves, or comment on the player when they see them again? Also feel like it could make the note user negative before the game starts, for example last time they saw the player they did badly, so now they already assume it’s going to be a loss and play worse. Also imo outside of people in small regions or at the very top of the ladder, people don’t come across others often enough for it to really matter.
Tho personally, it doesn’t really matter to me and don’t think I would ever bother to use it, just think there are some negatives too.
I’m not sure this is true. I play in EU and if I play at the same time of day for a few days I pretty much get to know a large number of the player names. I come across the same ones quite frequently. Less so at peak times, but the tank player pool especially is not that large.
