Genuine question. Aside from giving me XP on occasion toward the BP. Why not give us coins instead of that. XD
I feel like it’s the person with really thick hair that the only reaction is ‘wow I’ve never seen hair as thick as yours!’ from the hair stylist now.
‘Wow, I rarely see an Endorsement level 5!’
You get 50xp for endorsing someone so there you go. That’s it, that’s the whole point.
And yeah you get 1k xp per endorsement level every week yey.
Endorsement system is worthless because it has value. I know it sounds contradictory, but it’s the truth. They need to remove it, or remove the incentive to use it. The entire purpose behind it is defeated when you’re rewarded for doing it.
Right now, it’s just a “Gain 150 extra BP Experience” button that you can press at the end of each match. Endorsement levels are meaningless.
Endorsements are literally just brownie points so people feel good about themselves.
Don’t forget that you can lose a level for no particular reason!
Whether its because you’re not endorsed enough or because you get reported (usually if youre E5 then you’re (from what I’ve experienced) pretty chill) for no reason.
I actually don’t trust people with endorsement level 5s, I don’t think it’s attainable naturally so they probably begged to get endorsed.
I’ve never begged to be endorsed, yet I’m usually a constant Endorsement 5.
I’m just a support main. xD
What few people I’ve seen with E5 like myself have also not begged for it.
That would probably explain it.
To be fair, I’ve met a lot of people who don’t even bother with endorsements, too.
It makes it especially stupid when “”“not being endorsed enough”“” can also make you drop an endorsement level like… as if you have control over when you’re endorsed in the first place.
in reality there has never realyl been a point to the endorsement system
nah.
Mercy mains get it fairly easily, especially if they’re female.
Maybe I’m in the minority and don’t care about the battlepass but I typically don’t endorse if my team loses unless someone really stood out as playing well despite the loss. I always endorse if we win but I try to choose the 2 people who played the best.
I’m sure you’re right that many people endorse after every game and basically endorse 2 random teammates. If everyone did that it would be worthless like you say, but I think some people like me put a bit of thought into it so on some level, despite noise from random endorsers, there should still be a trend of better teammates reaching higher levels.
There was a point back when it was OW1, when players actually paid for the game and were somewhat held accountable for their behaviour with the threat of action taken to mute/ban account.
While Endorsement 2-5 were more of a popularity contest, Endorsement 1 might be a new or one who only plays in premade groups or have issues, and Endorsement 0 was a clear sign of a troublemaker since action was taken.
it never really had any point to begin with.
so you meet a level 1 on your team. What are you gonna do? quit? you’re playing with the level 1 wether you like it or not.
Its not like you could choose to only play with level 3s or something.
its pointless, and since ow2, even more so.
There is no point of it.
In fact, there is no point of anything because it is all bound to the battlepass and it sucks.
It has been worthless in OW1 and is even more useless in OW2. I don’t even endorse why bother…
I simply don’t do endorsements. I don’t give nor ask for them. They’re pointless and worth nothing.
was there ever a point in it?
no one actually cared. you basically cant fall below level 2 without being banned and level 5s are all farmed. it never meant anything and it continues to mean nothing
XP is the cheapest and easiest thing to dish out now without Blizz having to put any effort into rewards.
I never endorse anymore, nor do I care if I get endorsed, it’s just useless to me.
At least before there were cards that would pop up at the end of the match and show which 4 (sometimes less) usually deserved an endorsement without having to read a spreadsheet to figure out who should get them. Now it’s just extra steps that aren’t worth time and effort for what is awarded.
I play with my friends, so we can’t endorse each other. You also lose endorsements if you leave a lot of games. QP counts as well.
