I Don't Understand OW2 Endorsements

I just got some kind of reward for level 3 endorsements and it looked like a battle pass level but was completely incomprehensible. I didn’t gain a level or any experience. So who knows what the reward actually was. And, also, can you gain endorsement levels right now? I used to switch between 3 and 4 like 5 times a day in OW1. Now I get at least 1 endorsement a match but have never once reached level 4 in OW2. Is it even possible or are they bugged as well?

Im also a little confused if the requirements to each endorsmenet level were changed due to some changes like: not being able to endorse the enemies and the reduction from 3 to 2 endorsements per match…

i lost my level 5 because i only get 1 endorse per match and at most 2.

Also the rewards are the same for each level, so there is no incentive to be a high endorsement level on OW2.

I’d love to know how you’re maintaining 5 when the server disconnects dropped me down to 2.
