I wanted to reach out and thank you guys for such a solid improvement to this game. I became a level 5 endorsed player relatively quickly due to me primarily playing healer or tank.
This feature has not only fostered and improved communication in matches I play, but has really made the looking for group feature a gem. I can almost guarantee every time I sync up for a group - especially in quick play - that I will meet up with hilarious, quality players with higher levels of endorsement. The past few months of Overwatch have felt refreshing and presented me with new friends and quite a few laughs.
I don’t think we say thank you enough for the hard work you all do and careful attention to the details, so I wanted to reach out and say thanks.
EDIT: I responded to a number of questions or comments in a reply below.
While I know many people toss out endorsements like candy and arguably take away its meaning, the system is positive by nature, so I’m glad to have it. It’s a nice contrast for a social environment that otherwise only has “avoid” and “report” (negative) options for labeling other players.
And he only had to violate the COC to do so, thereby further encouraging more people to directly address Blizzard in their thread titles! Of course Tom could have prevented it by not replying.
