CTF is an arcade mode that has endorsements so why can’t you endorse in Mystery Heroes? It is a team focused mode just as much as CTF is. It is RIDICULOUS that you can’t endorse in Mystery Heroes. It’s the most played arcade mode and it should have endorsements!

most likely because you can control who you play in ctf

Since when does Sportsmanship or Shotcalling have anything to do with being able to choose heroes though?
You should still be able to say “Hey this player was really considerate and respectful in chat” or “Hey this person was helping orchestrate pushes and retreats” even if hero choice is not of concern.
I’m sure there are applications for Good teammate as well, even if not in response to “Hey can someone switch to x”. Like, “Hey can we target x, they’re really disrupting our team, we should make them respawn as someone else.” and then if someone helps do that based on that call, that’s absolutely “Good teammate” category.
If it’s not Arcade in general that’s the issue, then there is zero excuse in my mind to exclude mystery heroes from endorsements.

I was having some games the other night with some cool people, both on my team and the enemy. I thought to myself “Cool I’m defs going to give out some good sportsmanship things to these guys”
Then I remembered it was mystery hero and “HUR DUR no endorsements for this mode”
Really dumb move by Bliz, as has already been said your picks being random HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on whether you’re a good teammate or a good sportsman or can call shots.
HURRY AND FIX THIS! YOU NEED TO STOP NEEDLESSLY PUNISHING MH PLAYERS FOR PLAYING THE GAMEMODE THEY PREFER!
It’s starting to feel like the straw that broke the camel’s back for me now, in terms of whether I even want to bother with this game anymore at all.
I was really excited about the endorsement system when it was announced but have pretty much been told to “go f**k myself” by Bilz because I only like to play Mystery Hero.

Shot calling in Mystery Heroes often comes from someone keeping track of ults, and having a good understanding of all the heroes. So they can make on the fly decisions based on the tools available.
The only really good games I have had of Mystery Heroes have been such people.
Also a good teammate in Mystery Heroes will be someone who never feels like a burden, rather than those who can only play their mains and drag everyone down until they get them.

I agree with you about the ult tracking. I don’t usually join team chat but I usually play that role within my own friend group (though obs can’t get endorsements from my friends anyway lol)
Honestly ever since QP added the 1 hero limit I’ve found myself preferring MH more and more (probably less because I am addicted to hero stacking and more because the demographic for QP changed and most of the chill peeps were hanging in MH as well).
I won’t exactly make the claim myself that MH is the chillest mode, but I’ve heard many others make that claim and it certainly matches my experiences. I want those awesome chill peeps to get lots of endorsements for…being awesome!

I think it’s very stupid that you can’t endorse people in Mystery Heroes at least for sportsmanship and shotcalling. There’s plenty of that in the deep high end of mystery heroes and even the developers know that this gamemode has it’s own considerable playerbase so there’s no reason to discriminate against so popular gamemode

One of the excuses I hear a lot is that mystery hero is “supposed to be just for fun and not serious”
but isn’t that exactly what quick play is supposed to be? “just for fun and not serious” how many millions of times I’ve read “It’s just QP” as an excuse for anything/everything being done there.
So again I ask the devs WHY NOT IN MYSTERY HERO?

I happen to know there are a huge number of people who ONLY play MH. It’s the ONLY arcade gamemode that hasn’t left in over a year because the last time they did it (for one day) the forums EXPLODED with hundreds of threads demanding it back. It has a devoted playerbase just like QP and Comp do. So why are only we excluded from endorsements? It doesn’t make sense.

If I recall correctly, Blizzard said that endorsements aren’t in the arcade because they’re not serious or “competitive” enough, but I think they added them to CTF because the devs actually tried to balance it, so they feel like it has some aspect of seriousness to it.
This doesn’t solve the problem that endorsements aren’t in TM/No Limits/MH, but at least it’s an improvement, I guess?
