Overwatch Endorsement System Reveals Suspended Players

Players can now see who was suspended through the Endorsements icon in Overwatch.

The endorsement system combined with searching for groups based on endorsement level has completely changed my @PlayOverwatch experience. It’s incredible how quickly the player base reacted to the new systems. Thanks OW team ❤️

Overwatch players can see which players were suspended through the Endorsement system. Endorsements are awarded to players by other players after the completion of a game, and is Blizzard's way of fighting toxicity. A player's Endorsement level is shown next to their career profile and in the hero select screen in-game, but suspended players do not have an Endorsement level shown.

A Reddit user noticed the change after being suspended. The player was a level three in Endorsements before the suspension. Instead of their level reverting to one, the icon was removed entirely from both their career profile and in-game portrait.

Another Reddit user claimed after a certain amount of Endorsements, a player's actioned account will be promoted to level one in Endorsements.

It is unclear if this distinction between suspended accounts and other accounts is a bug or not, but it allows players to easily see which accounts were suspended after Endorsements were added to the game.
