Endorsements useless

I’ve been playing on PS4 for about three years now. My endorsement rank goes from 4 to 3 and vice versa. I noticed that the majority will not bother to endorse, even in Arcade. Therefore, endorsement rank drops after a while. This endorsement system needs rework. Why losing endorsement rank if you’re not getting one? I understand leaving s game or when being reported. Must say Overwatch used to be a lot more fun.

PSN here. Is it me or the game is trash since season 18 on PS4. Do u get any good games?

All my games are bad. Either total win or total loss. As if nobody cares any more.

Im totally bored of the game and i to play fanatically since season 4. But after the 2-2-2-2 I cannot win or loose games if I try on not try. It appears they are fixed by the match maker.

Endorsement level 4 means you need an average of 2.0 endorsements per game. Right now, you drop and rise again because you’re at about the 2.0 threshold. (going from 1.999 to 2.000). Once you raise it, it won’t oscillate as much.

As to “noone endorses” - maybe so, but that goes for everyone. Someone at 4 will get more endorsements than someone at 3 and the 3s get more than the 2s. It still shows how toxic someone is and it is still used in matchmaking.

I agree. Where it’s at right now, Endorsing is useless. If they make the level up a permanent status then maybe it would have more of a chance to succeed and be useful. Also, They should rework their medal systems because how it is now, is also useless and is a big cause of toxicity.

Do you need artificial pats on the back for the game to be fun for you?

Soooo… be nice for a bit, reach level 4, then become massively toxic and stay at 4? That’s unreasonable…

Just played the Halloween terror on expert as Brigitte. Kept everyone alive, and received: nothing. That’s exactly what I mean! And no, I’m not expecting an artificial pat on my shoulder.

Of course you do. You need certain stimuli otherwise you feel…bad? Sad? Where is playing the game for the enjoyment of playing the game? Why do you need artificial “good job” which most likely were given to you for the free exp anyway

Unless there is something like a number on skill level games they are worthless. Thats since ATARI’S PONG.

Yea but this number is strictly related to how good you do, its not subjective if that makes sense. You can enjoy the game just fine without caring what others think of your efforts.

Mate I’ve seen people with endorsement level 4 and 5 hard throwing matches. It means nothing, don’t worry about it.

Like people don’t do that now Regardless if their endorsement level goes up or down? There’s no difference tbh. it’s just dumb for it to play this bungie cord game of up and down from one level to another and have them expect people to care about it. In all honesties, I think at this point the endorsement system is all together pointless, and they can either rework it or get rid of it :woman_shrugging: because there will always be toxicity regardless of numbers or ranks. I can compare this situation to The medal system as it is now, is entirely useless. it does not show my how my stats improve on a certain character through out the matches I play. People are toxic and complain because all the info they’re given is “how much damage, how many elims, how much healing” and so forth and that’s the reason people become jerks because seeing a big shiney gold medal next to a useless stat rather than perhaps next to an improved stat based on past performance, is a big ego stroker. We are basing our performance on those sorts of stats, rather than things that are important such as the other side of the medal screen with Accuracy and the such.

So yeah so to counter the “issue” you stated, Make another set of endorsments. If your teammate’s been a good teammate, a shotcaller, or a sportsman like player, then go ahead and endorse them accordingly, but if they’ve been Toxic, Make options for said toxicity, and their Endorsement level will reflect that. But wait, There’ll always be differing opinions on different people, by different people.
You could be doing your best, and someone on your team will just blame you for the problems. There’s literally no escape from toxicity, no matter what people do.
All you can do is be the best player you can, and be kind to others and ignore the toxicity.

but hey whatever floats the boat I suppose :woman_shrugging:
