The scoring system now considers a variety of circumstances when players endorse each other, such as giving bonus score in situations players rarely endorse, like endorsing an enemy on a loss.
Players that never Endorse others will cause much less decay for their allies. We’d like players that want to ignore the system to also be ignored by the system.
These scoring updates may cause endorsement levels to be more volatile in the short term, so we’ll be watching these changes carefully and tuning the dynamic scoring as needed.
This is not cool. I personally only endorse when it’s earned. Sadly I get getting very often put into matches that are absolutely unfair setup. Almost the whole last league about 60 to 80% of my teamsetups have been me, playing since OW1 with a team full of new players while the enemy team was a full team of etablished players, making a loss 95% sure (5% being luck or the new accounts being smurfs). So what happens? Our team gets stomped hard. Why would I endorse anyone in this situation? My team, running around like headless chickens, trying to help the newbies with small hints on what to do, where to check etc. almost always gets ignored and the enemy team doesn’t show anything endorsable by sitting infront of our base and just popping one after another.
Now with the new system punishing you for not endorsing, incl. not endorsing absolute bull behaviour, ends just up in people being endorsed to level 5 that play bullcrap because we actual players that absolutely try our best don’t want to lose our endorse.
This is absolutely counter productive. I do not want to endorse bad players but now I will be forced to or I get “ignored” by the system…
This is like the Kindergarten of a pals kiddo… they enforce the kids to say 3 nice things about everyone in their group once a week, no matter if they like each other or whatever. Just “Make everyone around you feel appreciated, even if they hit you in the face”…
Well, I always try my best during stomps. And I do get endorsements. Probably from the enemy team… But whatever. It means more coming from them then some salty kid who is probably the real reason we are getting stomped to begin with.
NGL this sounds a lot more like you have a bit of an ego and feel like you deserve all the praise as you constantly carry your four other teammates every round. Sounds pretty fair to me that if you constantly refuse to acknowledge anything your teammates do, that you are not worthy of a rating that demonstrates positive impact.
This just means that your teammates won’t get their endorsement lowered despite you not endorsing them.
You misunderstood, it doesn’t mean what you think it means. I had to read it like five times, too. They phrased it horribly.
Suppose someone plays 20 games with every single teammate not ever endorsing anyone. That someone’s endorsement level wouldn’t drop, because those teammates are “ignored by the system”. You can still get endorsed despite not endorsing yourself and your endorsement level will go up.
I can tell you I have barely an “ego”. It’s just the match making system atm is bullcrap.
I don’t mind playing with new players if the enemy team also has new players. I always try to give new players tipps, some adapt and actually try, I gladly endorse them. Added a few as friends.
But sadly most are just the rambo type, like coming fresh from COD or whatever and don’t care about team, just run out, die and rinse and repeat… This is not a behaviour I want to endorse. Sorry.
There is many ways to better the system. But making it like “forced” in terms of you only gain/keep endorse if you endorse an unknown amount of other players is just plain wrong.
Endorse should be earned.
How do you come to that conclusion that it only protects you from dropping? Which in the end wouldn’t be that good too because players that e.g. troll and force a loss for the team wouldn’t drop because no one endorses them? That would be kinda counterproductive too.
It says that if you endorse an enemy in case of a loss, it will count extra. Cause players apparently rarely endorse enemies in cases of lost games.
So you can still endorse the enemy, nothing has changed there.
Thanks, but I know already.
I was more asking OP. If your team did bad so you don’t want to endorse them, why not vote for the other team? They can continue to be a “light voter” and have some weight.
Maybe they are tweaking it now so that they can make endorsements a little more annoying again, so they can put loot boxes back as a reward. I’d be cool with that.
