Okay, this is really getting silly. QP Matchmaker puts me into a game where all I can hear is “Defeat” before the card-screen immediately pops up and I am getting the message of my endorsement level dropping down from 4 to 3.
Are you kidding me? It’s ME dropping because I am being put into a game at the very last second to replace someone else who DID leave in order to avoid a loss credited to their account? I didn’t even get to see the Hero Selection Screen, so WTF did - I - do wrong? In freaking QUICK PLAY!
Seriously, this is just not acceptable, and I would like to have this issue investigated by a staff member and whatever points I lost restored.
I don’t care much about those endorsements, but they are there, so I can expect the whole thing to work properly and not be punished for nothing. I am a nice person who isn’t bothering anybody, who doesn’t leave games that have started, and who generally picks up the roles nobody else seems to want, so my endorsement level can only go up - unless somebody abused the report system because they happened to lose in a previous match or whatever.
So, dear Blizzard staff people, I would like to know exactly WHAT happened, WHY it happened and HOW and WHEN you are taking steps to ensure that it won’t happen again - while putting me back to where I was before your system failed.
As far as I understood each endorsement has a TIMER, not a match counter.
So let’s say each endorse is active for 7 days (just to play with numbers, this might not be a real number!). You need 50 endorses for level 2. You play some matches, quit for a few days and come back You are now at 49 endorses, get your next one to reach 50. Now while searching you reach the 7 days of your first endorse which gets now invalid. As they are only being updated after the match you recieve the “loss” of an endorselevel in that situation.
So you would have lost it nonetheless.
It does seem to be just a coincidence so your endorsement doesn’t seem to go down because you joined at the last second.
Never jump to conclusions too early 
Nah. Been playing every day and getting those things, and in fact had just gotten up to Level 4 the day before, and continued to gather those things right last night as well - until I was put into that finished match and lost a bunch because of it.
They wanted this system, so now it’s there and represents the social aspect of me playing this game. Call it my reputation, visible for everyone else. I think I have the right to know why exactly it went down and by how much -and have it restored.
I am pretty sure that it was the matchmaker putting me into this game where I couldn’t do anything anymore before it ended - not even pick a hero. I took screenshots of the score sheets. My portrait is Grey and empty. Since I didn’t get to pick anybody, the next screen shows “all heroes” of course with absolutely nothing - since I didn’t ever get to select anybody, let alone play for even just a second.
This really ticks me off. I’m putting up with people calling me and the rest of the team idiots. I am being jumped on and called a bitch. I report those 2 people and absolutely nothing happens.
Yet here I am, losing a level of my reputation because the effing matchmaker puts me into a game at the very last second where I can’t do anything anymore?
I don’t think so. I want this sorted.
As said… No. you lost a level because it decays over time. You just got less reputation then a few days before so over the time you lost some counters and dropped below the magic amount you need to keep your level.
But you don’t want to discuss anything on this matter or hear anything. You only want to rage and thats it, so any further answers towards you are kinda useless.
You will have to live with it.
Your level decays over time if you don’t get your X endorses over Y time.
Like it or not ¯\(ツ)/¯
If you doubt that your level loss is due to a level decay, then it does seem to be a bug.
The game might have though that you left the game because your game hasen’t loaded completely. Oddly enough, such a scenario happened to me yesterday but my eno-level hasn’t decayed.
If you really doubt that it was just a coincidence and basically a decay over time and instead it really seems like a bug or gameplay issue, then maybe take this thread to the american bug report forum
I am in fact not interesting in discussing this. The only reason why I am even posting this here is because I am not aware of any way to open a support ticket from within the game, where I am limited to reporting players for whatever reason, and the support website directs me to the forum for every other in-game issue.
So what? Is it too much to ask for a EUROPEAN customer service representative to look into my EUROPEAN account data to find out what exactly happened? I’m pretty sure that if it turns out to be a bug of some sort, they’ll have the proper means to forward the issue to the right people in the U.S. of A.
I realize that you’re trying to help, and I appreciate that, but it’s not really helpful to make assumptions about possible decay or whatever when other things are far more obvious. And well, it’s certainly not my fault that it has been decided to make a big huge mystery out of how exactly any decay works. If not playing for a couple of hours is enough to drop by a significant amount, it would be pretty ridiculous, especially if your gaming habits and time hasn’t changed in weeks and caused your level to increase continuously.
The endorsement decay is not a possibility, it’s a fact!
MAINTAINING YOUR ENDORSEMENT LEVEL
Your endorsement level can decrease if you do not continue to receive endorsements or leave games before they’re finished. Punishments within the reporting system may also strip players of their endorsement level and place them at level 0.
Again, if you think it’s a bug then go to the “Techinical Support” or at best the “Bug report” Forum
You are currently writing in the general discussion forum where the possibility to contact a support is minimal. You have better chances in those other categories, though.
Also, don’t expect to get your endorsement level back. It might be possible but it’s not guaranteed. However, if it is a bug, it’s worth reporting so future players won’t have the same problem.
The Support Ticket you would open would only cost manpower to handle real problems. You got your answer in this topic by multiple people and the support would not tell you anything else. They will NOT edit your endorsement level as it didn’t “vanish” by any means. It decayed as wanted. You just had a bad timing with an endgame. You can even drop with your endorsement level when you win 100 games in a row and no one endorses you.
And you seem to live your life after the endorsement level which is not really good.
Haha certainly not. I’d prefer if that stuff wasn’t even there. It’s bad enough that it was considered necessary.
I’ll just leave it at that, after doing what every adult in his right mind would do: Stop feeding the corporate monster that so willingly accepts collateral damage. WoW subscription is set to expire Sunday night. So it’s all good.
