Medals of Honor

Decoding endorsements

Overwatch’s new player-rating Endorsements system has, Blizzard claims, led to a dramatic reduction in toxic behavior. But what do they actually mean?

Good team mate

You’re a healer who remembers to heal people or a tank stays with the team. You observe spawn room protocol, like watching people dance.

Shot-caller

You, as you’re playing Zarya or Ana, say “group up” once or twice during the match and sync up your ultimate effectively with your team’s Genji.

Sportsmanship

You try to capture the point as Mercy in the last minute, while everybody else on your team is busy trading emotes with the other team’s Doomfist.
