If you allowed for a voting system you would unequivocally create an eloHell. Why?

Because a majority of the assholes are lower ranked. What do you think those people (the ones who go AFK randomly, curse at each other, kill themselves on purpose, etc.) are going to vote in regards to other players? Everyone at lower ranked would KEEP themselves at lower ranks. No one would ever escape. It would be ten times worse than it is now.

Moreso, "famous" players would be even higher than they already are. They would get upvotes just for the namesake. A voting system plays right into fame and personality.

No, this is a terrible idea. Just awful.
