If you play Overwatch 2, you’ve probably seen the Endorsement button or the numbers next to players’ names. Here’s what they mean, how you can use them, and why they matter.
What Are Endorsements in Overwatch 2
Endorsements are a way for you to give a thumbs up to teammates who play well, act nice, or help the team win. After every match, you can pick up to two people on your team to endorse. It’s like saying, “Good job!” or “Thanks for being a cool teammate!”
Endorsements help keep Overwatch 2 a friendly game. They reward players who are positive, play fair, and work with their team.
How Endorsements Work in Overwatch 2
- After each match, you can endorse up to two teammates.
- You can only endorse the same player once every 12 hours.
- You can’t endorse your Battle Net friends.
- Endorsements are only for teammates, not enemies.
- No endorsements in custom games, 1v1, or Yeti Hunt.
- You get extra Battle Pass XP for being endorsed. The more endorsements you get, the faster your Battle Pass goes up.
Endorsement Levels in Overwatch 2
- Everyone starts at Endorsement Level 1. If you keep getting endorsements from other players, your level goes up, all the way to Level 5. A higher level means you are seen as a good teammate.
- Level 1 is where everyone starts.
- Level 5 is the best you can get.
- Your level shows up on the scoreboard, your profile, and in voice chat.
- You need Level 2 to use in-game chat.
- You need Level 3 to make public custom lobbies.
- If you get reported for bad behavior, or leave games early, your level can drop.
How Does the System Decide Your Endorsement Level?
- The Endorsement system is now more “dynamic.” This means it changes depending on what’s happening in your matches:
- You have to get endorsements from other players to keep your level up.
- If you don’t get endorsed for a few matches, your level can start to go down.
- The system now looks at special situations, like when someone endorses an enemy after a loss (which is rare), and gives bonus points for that.
- If you never endorse others, you won’t make your teammates lose endorsement points.
- Your level can go up or down faster than before. This is normal because Blizzard is still working on making the system better.
- Most of the time, just playing the game and getting endorsed is enough to keep your level steady. If you stop getting endorsements, your level will slowly drop. This is true even if you are not toxic or rude.
How to Check Your Endorsement Level in Overwatch 2
Look at the top right corner in the main menu. Right-click your name to see your profile. Your Endorsement Level is the small number in a circle.
Why Your Endorsement Level Might Drop in Overwatch 2
- You didn’t get endorsed in your last few matches.
- You left a game early.
- You were reported for bad behavior.
- You mostly play Competitive mode, where players endorse less.
- Sometimes, your level drops just because you didn’t get enough endorsements, even if you were nice and played well.
How to Get a Higher Endorsement Level in Overwatch 2
Players on Reddit and other sites shared these real tips:
- Play Support/Healer: People like to endorse supports and tanks.
- Be Positive: Say “hello” and “thank you” in voice lines or chat.
- Endorse Others First: Some will endorse you back.
- Don’t Leave Games: Leaving will lower your level fast.
- Play Arcade Modes: Players endorse more in these modes than in Competitive.
- Be chill: Try not to argue or complain about teammates. Just play and have fun.
To reach Level 5, you need to get a lot of endorsements and keep playing. It’s easier in some game modes than others.
What Do You Get for Having a High Endorsement Level?
- Extra XP to level up your Battle Pass.
- A better reputation—players can see you’re a good teammate.
- Unlock things like in-game chat and public custom games.
Final Tips
Endorsements are about being a good teammate, not just winning. Be friendly, help your team, and say “GG” at the end of matches.
