I wasnt sure if this was a bug or not but was told to post here, so. I just played a game of Mystery Heros, had a guy on my team AFK 90% of match, when I went to report him his username changed. I dont think that streamer mode should swap the name for every single instance, especially on the endorsements screen. It just makes it irritating trying to figure out who it was, not mentioning there were 2 people with streamer mode on, on my team. “Oh well check their heros” both of them ended on tracer/ echo. The afker was on junkrat for a while while the other had kiriko, still, it just is stupid to swap around the name every time you see their profile. It was JusticeR41N5 in game, BeanBoy on the endorsement page, and opening their profile it was M1Tz1.
I agree. That sounds quite confusing. Player names getting muddled up makes it difficult for both endorsements and reports to be made.
A similar situation right now is if you leave or are d/c’d from a game or if players backfill into a game, all the player names from both teams for last match are muddled up, mixing all together and impossible to tell who’s who that was on which team. Backfilled players that came into the game later will also bug out, showing complete blanks on the name plate for both “Last Match” section under Social and the Game Reports section of your game history. This means if you needed to report for someone that was violating game rules or if you wanted to endorse the player who backfilled into your game and DIDN’T just quit again halfway, it’s near impossible to do. Especially if there are multiple backfilled players who came and left for a single spot.
