I dont even care about 50xp… and the people that do are just sad. I only endorse people who deserve it, but I also get Sportsmanship and Shotcaller for no reason. The XP should definietly be removed. Problem is, you can’t trust a community. If you give them something to abuse, they will do it. Whether they know they’re ruining the community or not, they will abuse it.
i think giving shot caller even if someone isn’t speaking is fair . shot caller means that you take care of flanks , shut down ults , save you team from a macree ult , and take of your team mates back for example saving a poor zen from tracer or genji . shot caller isn’t all about acctually shoting in the mic is about good environmental awareness , and if someone saved me enough time i will give shot caller endorsement .
I am more a person spreading the word that we all got 36 endorsements to give away,
you can’t expect getting endorsement while you lock yourself out not giving it to others, thats my opinion.
I dont need the best players arround me in my team, I need the best teamplayers 
I really love this system, motivating that one “hard-try” in between 2+ DPS,
and if my team only got 1 healer or tank AND there was not really something special happening like, saving my ass / have fun together just by a simple joke, then 2 votes will go to the other team, if they had healers tank.
make endorsments not give you 50 XP but cost 50 XP. This way you’d only endorse players you really enjoyed playing with, who you’re ready to give 50 of your XP to. This would eliminate pointless endorsments for XP.
Do this and no one will endorse anymore. Perfect idea.

*5. When someone disconnects from a competitive match at the beginning and the match is cancelled, you still endorse and get endorsed all the same.
The system means absolutely nothing to me so I’ll always endorse players whether they deserve it or not because of the xp and because it makes somebody feel good for free. If somebody feels like they’re getting less out of the endorsements just because some players receive them without doing anything then it’s their own pride problem
I will absolutely endorse someone for Shot Caller if I see them making some kind of an initiative play, usually for shutting down an enemy ult.
There is more to shot calling than just “Hanzo low”. Actual outplays as opposed to braindead aimbroing can and should be rewarded.
I join your plead sir! Everyone, let us use this tool responsibly and not f*ck it up.
Already I am starting to take less notice of players with endorsements because for many I am 99% certain they only received one because some sap wanted another lootbox and the experience points would get them a little closer…
Blizzard should probably look into say, removing the experience reward for endorsing. I know it wouldn’t solve the issue per se but it would at least mean people are more likely to use it responsibility rather than because they want Tracer’s new leg-warmers or something…
I literally didn’t know it gave 50 xp I gave it because the people I played with deserved an endorsment
I would. Not every game but I definitely would, for people who deserved it.
Right now, people just spam endorsments for XP and thus devalue them, rendering the whole system meaningless and obsolete.

Because if you DC you lose a level.
Another issue with endorsement…it’s measuring your connection rather than your team play etc.
Negative endorsement has to be implemented too. It CANNOT be automatic.
Cool. But tbh I bet most ppl wouldnt because they need their precious skins.
deflated endorsment still much better and more valuable than an obsolete one.

Fake nontoxicity is better than toxicity as well. If people wont get anything out of positivity they will go back to being toxic. But then again, I dont know how this will last anyways.

oh yeah sure, because those naturally toxic peple stay friendly for the sake of worthless endorsements alone…

Might be a consequence but there has been way less toxic ppl after the system.
Haven’t noticed any increase or decrease in toxicity since Endorsement system, in game. For one, mics are still pretty rare (console), so that’s already a huge threshold for negating it. And consoles have no text chat, another method that can’t be used for toxic stuff.

The only reason I won’t endorse randomly for 150 exp is if they remove the exp for endorsing, and at that point I’ll just never endorse anybody because this is yet another indicator of how often you play, not how nice you are
Yeah the endorsement feature has not been all it was cracked up to be and honestly, i despise the faux polite/begging atmosphere that has resulted.
Before when people were nice, it meant something. Now its actually hard to tell those who are genuine from those looking to boost their epeen.
