Maintaining Endorsement 4 is near impossible!

I get 1-2 endorsements a game. Every day I hit level 4. I go away (maybe for work, maybe just for dinner), and the very next game I play I drop to endorsement level 3 EVEN IF I GOT ENDORSED!

I do not understand why this decay is SO fast.

I just got it like a week ago and haven’t dropped it yet but who knows

Yeah, unless you play healer every single game and get endorsed more than once its nearly impossible to keep it. I got it and lost it 4 or 5 times just this week

I’ve bounced between level three and four quite a few times, and while I found it frustrating at first, it doesn’t bother me anymore.

The decay rate is meant to be more extreme at the higher levels, thus making them harder to maintain. You’re not doing anything wrong because you drop down to level three.

Also, decay doesn’t happen when you’re not playing the game. I took a week and a half off from the game due to sickness, and I was still level four when I came back.

I’ve been stuck on level 4 for two weeks now…

Who cares about endorsements anyway? Its the most arbitrary thing added to Overwatch ever since the ā€œRate this game from 1-3ā€ feature.

I play tank and do nothing but feed the entire round. Good Teammate, Shotcaller

I pick healer and pocket one person while letting everyone else die. Positive Player

In both cases I never said anything. No ā€œHave funā€ or ā€œGGā€. No ā€œThanks for healingā€ or ā€œGroup Upā€. Yet I get endorsed almost every game. They dont mean anything, really.

I like endorsement 3. As long as I stay there I’m happy. I’ve also gotten to 4 dozens of times, the rate at which it decays is not worth my thought

You sound like a great teammate, here’s an endorsement

The secret is to never quit a match until you see victory/defeat on the screen.

That is one thing I never do. I will stay even if it comes down to a 6v1.

Idk I dropped to lvl 3 just once, 3 weeks ago because i left a game too early.

Since then I didn’t lost rank and i’m staying at lvl 4 even if I don’t play for 2 days.

why does it matter? is not like you are rewarded for anything. the only time endorsement ever comes into play is in LFG where you can set a endorsement requirements but even then the highest i seen is 3.

I hit 4 around the time endorsements first came out and haven’t lost it yet :woman_shrugging:t2:

I’ve only dropped down from lvl 4 by the leaving game penalty due to either disconnects or it just being buggy. And only twice at that.

It’s 100% possible and simple to hold lvl 4. I don’t even play that long that often, maybe 2-3 hours, 2-3 nights a week. I get a lot of endorsements, but not that many. I go games without any, but no more than 1 or 2.

If you tend to stay with the same people match after match then it cuts into how many you can get pretty hard, either stacking or just riding the queue.

I play qp primarily, so i see fresh people every game on both sides.

Here it is being talked about yet again, still no blue post.

I had games where I joined just for the defeat screen, yet got endorsements for leading role even if I was too late to even chose my character. These levels mean nothing. I refuse to give any endorsements to anyone since I dislike the mentality to get XP for lying.

For some reason, I’ve had lvl 4 for 2 weeks now, and I’m a dps main. I don’t get showered with endorsements, like 1-2 per match and I haven’t deranked.

I haven’t dropped more than once since I got it.
I get like 1-2 endorsements per match sometimes none.

if you are leaving a match, make sure you see the winning team on the screen at least.

The easiest way to maintain it is to not leave matches.

I dropped quickly the first time I got 4, but the more I get it, the longer it takes to decay. So far I’ve had it for over a week now and still haven’t lost it, with about 2 hours or less of gameplay a day, even not playing some days.
