Forgive me if I sound super toxic, but are all those players just bots? I’ve seen so few level 5 Endorsement players who actually do something during the match, but in 95% of cases a player with lowest player damage, healing, tanking and overall stats turns out to be a level 5 endorsement player who then spams in chat things like “haha not gonna heal you”. Are they farming bots?
I am sorry but Endorsement level 3-4 players, even Endorsement level 2 players are so much better, sometimes it feels like Endorsement level 5 players are just like level 1 players who downloaded the game just now and have NO idea how to play.
Usually, if I have a game with low heals or damage, it’s because the tank breaks LoS every time they take damage to run for a health pack, or I have to tell the DPS to stand in front of me because if they’re behind their Ana, they’re probably too far back.
The problem I often find is good players often assume other players know what they’re doing, and try to set up for plays which players who aren’t as good simply can’t see because they don’t have the game-sense. These are usually the same players who blame the numbers on the scoreboard instead of noticing things like no one killing the slept widow, or not aiming for the supports who are anti’d.
An example, I was playing attack on throne of anubis, I went to position on high ground after we capped the first point. Before we even engaged with the enemy team, our junkrat says I’m dumb for running ahead of the tank. I told him to think ahead, I’m positioning for the next obj. He didn’t seem to comprehend this nor the fact that I didn’t have to stand right next to him to heal him either.
He then spends most of his time complaining about my stats on the scoreboard…
Low endorsment players are personally more engaged in the game and its outcome, so they also watch out for you more but also what you do; if you clown around they will be vocal, get reported and drop in endorsment again.
I usually endorse low endos before anyone who really deserved it, its like ok here is your chance, you are being appreciated, chill down, learn a lesson in teamplay.
You don’t drop endorsement for calling out teammates I do it every game…
It depends on if you are being constructive in your criticism or just flaming someone who’s having a bad game.
And depending on the way you conduct yourself in that criticism you might actually get someone to swap instead of getting yourself muted and reported. It’s that simple, as someone who got back into the game with a 12 day chat mute and ednore level 1,going to 5 as a dps one trick took 4 weeks.
Just had another day of Level 5 Endorsement players in team.
Not only they did nothing during the match but they blamed teammates and were literally talking about sexual harassment and speading racial slurs comboed with “ez” spam in a match every time they killed someone.
Once again - if not bot farmed, shouldn’t Level 5 Endorsement be given to player who actually try and are positive in a match instead of giving level 5 endorsement to players who are being racists?
You don’t think telling someone you think they are throwing (ie flaming them) should be reportable…
Interesting take.
No proof of that being the case.
They’ve been the same rules since OW1 launch and he same rules for all their games. Or did you mean the processing part of it? At which point all I have is… .meh. is what it is. If you just be civil in game you’re fine.
Down 3% in the last 30 days. Seems fine considering season 14 is a nothing season that also had a launch of an interesting new game + small non game changing patch + christmas break for devs.
I don’t care about reviews.
You are entitled to report anyone for any reason. But that won’t get them actioned as it requires a ridiculously large amount of games to get actioned like that. How people can get away with being a bit of a wally in game for days on end and nothing happen.
Interesting, I noticed this same pattern a long time ago and they seem to be worse now its FTP.
I suspect the 5 Endorsement players are mostly skin buying quick play gamers and hence why they are mostly clueless about how to play the game the way it should be played; team comps, role responsibilities, CD rotation management etc.
If you play almost exclusively Competitive, its pretty hard to maintain more than 3 unless you play in very low metal ranks where presumably there is a largish? player base.
I guess the 5’s hop into comp now and again to farm for gold or green weapons or whatever.
