New grindable feature: Teammate Honor
Hey Respawn Team and all Apex enjoyers out here,
I'm an Apex player with more than 8k hours, and I would like to share my idea to make the game a little bit better in terms of building a safe and non-toxic place for every person.
I love this game with all my heart and want it to grow, so please take a look at my notes and tell me what you think 😊
The idea is to create a new feature - "Teammate Honor" with Progressive Banner Badge & System.
1. Overview & Goal:
- A community-driven endorsement system aimed at reducing toxicity, promoting communication, and rewarding teamwork. It gives players a tangible, cosmetic goal to grind while encouraging a positive mindset in matchmaking.
2. Core Mechanics:
- Post-Match Endorsement: At the end of a match, players can give a quick "Thumbs Up" (Honor/Praise) to their teammates for good teamwork, callouts, or friendly behavior.
- Progressive Banner Badge: Introduces an evolving badge for the Legend banner (similar to the Damage or Win Streak badges).
- Tiered Progression: The badge levels up based on total positive feedback received (e.g., Tier 1: 100 endorsements ; Tier 2: 500; Tier 3: 1,000; Max Tier: 2,500+ with special visual effects/animations).
3. Anti-Farming & Anti-Abuse Safeguards:
- 7-Day Cooldown Per Unique ID: A player can only endorse the same unique Account ID once every 7 days. This completely eliminates abuse/farming within premade squads, while still allowing a "second chance" and ongoing rewards for playing well with recurring teammates.
- Positive-Only Rating: Only "Thumbs Up" options exist to prevent toxic players from using negative votes out of frustration.
4. Why it Benefits Apex Legends:
- Positive Reinforcement: Uses cosmetic status (a flex-worthy badge) as "soft power" to decrease early rage-quitting and increase team synergy.
- Long-Term Engagement: Adds a fresh, long-term grinding goal alongside Battle Pass and Ranked stats.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
Also, a big shoutout to the devs for creating such an incredible game!
