My endorsement just got lowered from a 4 to a 3 for no apparent reason, why is this? This feels like the equivalent of taking levels back from a player, I am a support main, I regularly take 3+ golds a match, I am not Toxic. I fail to see the reason why the endorsements that I have worked hard for by being a good member of the OW community and player base are suddenly reclaimed for no reason!
If there is one way to drastically effect how a player that has been playing since release feels about your game, this is it.
Please can someone explain to me the seemingly totally flawed reasoning to lowering effective levels.
In addition there seems to be no route in game to contact support, the game is now almost 3 years old I find it slightly alarming that there is not a dedicated support channel in the client that has full time support available or at the very least an easier route to support than a public forum, like a ticket system for example that does not involve jumping through many hoops.
No Iâm not letting this slide, because clearly there is someone at Blizzard that has âreviewedâ the content and I am not toxic, I rarely talk in chat and never on comms, and almost devoutly pick support or tank, I fail to see how at any point I have ever been âtoxicâ.
MAINTAINING YOUR ENDORSEMENT LEVEL
Your endorsement level can decrease if you do not continue to receive endorsements or leave games before theyâre finished. Punishments within the reporting system may also strip players of their endorsement level and place them at level 0.
âPunisments within the reporting systemâ indicates that another punishment besides the endorsement loss occur.
You do not need to do anything for getting reported. Some people might have decided to have fun and reported you, happens around these days. Welcome to my endorsement level. I got to it without going tank or support btw, just bombed people and had fun with junk.
The endorsements is not an indicator on how much you use voice chat. It indicated how much and how well you communicate with your team and how helpful you are in your team. That communication neednât be via voice chat but it could be via voice lines or normal chat.
Some might endorse at random, others endorse only those who use voice chat and some have other reasons to endorse players.
I think people have gotten bored of the system, after all the numbers and endorsements at this stage mean bugger all, so people are reverting back to their ways.
Endorsement system has a lot of issues similar to the matchmaking issues in the past. Too many moving parts for too little benefit. Ultimately the endorsement level doesnât affect ANYTHING of importance. If you were hyped by endorsements, it kinda shows how easy you are to mislead.
I am still unsure how does the system handle playing in same group for a longer period of time, since you cannot be endorsed by same groupmates more than once, this leads you to not receiving regular endorsements. Does the system punish you for playing in same group longer? Doing so would be massively bad designâŚI have a feeling there is something already in place to counteract it (like slowed/nonexistent decay) but I have heard nothing from the devs regarding this issue.
Maintaining a high endorsement level empowers you to set that level as Minimum for Lfg which does significantly improve yours odds of getting better players in the group.
It is not meaningless. Quite on the contrary. I rarely met a Level 4 who trolled/ sabotaged a game even in Qp which is huge imho cause Qp games were full of it.
Level 5 is extremely difficult to reach and requires a lot of mending to prevent decaying so toxic players or trolls/leavers will never be able to sustain level 5 which personally is enough for me.
You judge the endorsement system for giving prestige to people who donât deserve it - yet you actively contribute to that by giving out Endorsements to toxic people.
The enemy can still give Endorsements to you.
@Topic: there is a high probability that you lost Endorsement Points (up to 50) for leaving a match early.
Individual reports will AFAIK not influence your endorsement points - but actions taken to punish you will completely reset your score and even drain an additional level.
If enough players report you for any reason, your endorsement level will be lowered by 1 automatically. If youâre not toxic and not communicating you were probably reported for Gameplay Sabotage which will count towards the report treshold too.
Wasnât there supposed to be some kind of rewards other than E-Pe for having a high endorsement level?
Personally I donât care that much for lootboxes, have plenty of unopened ones. But it would be nice to get something other than just a number on the screen.
