I think introducing negative endorsements could be a tricky thing to do as well as it only antagonises people further, and people that have been a toxic player can hit you back with a negative endorsement even if you're a great player so it's a slippery slope.
That being said, while the endorsements create a preferred list of team-mates you could also have an avoid option in the list that creates almost an invisible negative endorsement that the game knows about but you don't. This don't have a huge effect on the game but just lets you steer clear of that player in the future.
Hopefully the idea of endorsing people and creating a roster of preferred team-mates is incentive enough but also I think having badges and stat trackers that show off your endorsement level could also be fun!
I was going to suggest that negative feedback would be anonymous and reputation level is not updated instantly to not give the game away. But I know the curiosity itself would make someone feel anxious of "who". Perhaps if it was a private stat only visible to the player and not public. The public won't know about this invisible tarnish on your record, but the player will know him/herself as a gentle reminder of their behaviour trend.
So there is no name and shame. Sometimes you have to give someone a mirror to reflect on. But then there will be times you will receive negatives for doing nothing wrong. Guess better to have only positive stats in this game to prevent annoyance.
I would hope this whole endorsement system would be utilised into random match making, so you're teamed with like minded people 🙂 Very curious what will be said about it online.
Yes, friends list can have small labels to indicate reputation all in one view, so you don't have to go one by one into their profile. Definitely badges/stats will give confidence to randoms to not quit early knowing they're playing with someone more reliable, so that's a bonus too. A much more proud stat to display.
Many thanks for taking onboard!

Bloodhound voice could announce X number of secs of recent footprints tracking.
@PeterN_UK I still can’t believe it doesn’t say in the mentioning area how many secs ago something was. Seems like a huge oversight.
“Someone was gathering loot here recently”... timer says 80 secs ago which you only see... You think to yourself ‘Almost a minute and half is not recently’ while you see your teammates frantically looking around cause they don’t see how long ago it was xD - 5 years ago
Hey @Cabowse
Got some new QOL suggestions.
(QOL) More Legend callouts and quips like "enemy cracked", "performing a finisher" "my ultimate is ready" "they've got good armor" "sniper" "they've got a {weapon class}"
(QOL) The ability to say "No" to Someone's Been Here and Enemy Pings
(QOL) Ability to request a better attachment than one you have e.g. "I'm looking for a barrel mod, level 2 or higher" if you have a level one barrel
(QOL) Sound effects from the Legend being finished and not only the Legend performing the finisher
(QOL) Players are respawned with their tactical ability charged
