BP rewards for Thumbs Up! to opposing sides.

How about make use of the end game lobby 'Thumbs Up! Button' to allow players to give a small BP bonus to the opposing side. Say 2000 BP per killer upvote and 600 per survivor upvote in end game lobbies.

This has the issue of promoting farming right? Well these bonuses are small... but here is the kicker... if you get an upvote from a player you beat I.e.

  • Survivor up voting a killer who killed them.
  • Killer up voting a survivor who escaped them.

These bonuses are multiplied 4x, and you get a notification when you return to your home lobby that "this player on this Survivor/Killer has awarded you <splot> blood points".

Pros: -

  • Much stronger incentive to actually win, not farm.
  • Possibility of getting nothing, and survivors ending game sooner. This means these votes are likely to be genuine.
  • Can't see points until you go back to the home screen, so votes can't be given to gain in return.
  • Allows players to send a small "no hard feelings" gesture if they win.
  • Gives players the ability to deny a blood point reward for toxic behaviour, which makes tough games feel better, reducing tilt.
  • Gives crossways players who can't talk a means of saying "gg" to their other counterparts.

This would be a natural incentive to play fair, and not BM your opponents. It wouldn't happen every game, but it would be something that allows people to reward good skilled play, or taking fun builds, without resorting to cheap tactics.

Cons: -

  • Potential for guilt if you didn't reciprocate
  • You still get some people farming even with less rewards.
  • Small rewards probably won't stop toxicity... but might help reduce it.
