IDEA: Pick order in Solo Queue could partly be determined by honors/reports

Hey All,

I feel that toxicity in the draft screen is a huge problem in the lower ELOs and divisions. I feel that players who aren't troublesome and who are consistently being honored should be rewarded by being given higher picks typically in draft mode (I think it should still be partly random, but I think probability weights could be altered based on number of reports/honors).

I think this does two things:

It rewards players who are consistently being good and friendly teammates.
It's yet another option to deter players from being toxic.

Everyone likes being a higher pick, so let's tilt it to the players who are making the environment a positive one.

So you take people with a known history of trolling and put them in a situation where they're encouraged to troll consistently? Wat

agreed. I'm pretty sure toxic players would be MORE inclined to troll if they were consistently denied their preferred placements. (not that granting them those placements actually helps anything)

also, i think I'm an outlier in this, but I prefer to last pick, rather than first pick. i just like knowing what i'm up against, and knowing i wont be counter picked.
