In the anime version of My Hero Academia it's said that Endeavor solved more
crimes than All Might, but he isnt considered the number one hero in spite of
this. Why it is so? What does it make people to consider All Might the number
one hero and not Endeavor?

Why if Endeavor solved more crimes than All Might, he isnt considered the number one hero?


I don't think there is a clear reason stated for that, but I think it has to
do with what heroes are supposed to be in the MHA world: they're not just
cops, they're something more than that.

**They're supposed to inspire people**

In MHA, most children hope to become professional heroes themselves, which
mean that, most likely, heroes are idolised, and many people see them as much
as heroes as they see them as public figures.

Their behaviors, the way they treat their fans, all of that will play a part
on how a hero is perceived, if he is better or worse than another hero. And as
we have seen multiple times, Endeavor's behavior is not that great. I can see
why some people would not see him like a great hero (Heck I'd even say that he
is closer to a villain than to a hero).

**They're supposed to do other things than just resolving incidents**

When Tsuyu goes to do her internship, we can see that heroes can be doing
other things that doesn't always involve apprehending villains, patrolling
water, patrolling streets, etc etc.

Rescues is one other of the major points of being a hero, and, with Endeavor's
ability (and personality) I'd wage that rescuing people from a disaster is not
what he's the best at (fire isn't really suited in most disastrous
situations), while All Might is known to be able to save tons of people
quickly.

**Number of incident, against gravity**

While he solved the most incident in MHA, we don't know the severity of those
incident, while we have seen him at work, and we know that he is not weak at
all, he could very well have solved hundred of small incident involving petty
criminals.

So in short, the reason why he isn't the number 1 hero, is because he is the
best in only one area of his work, All Might is better everywhere else.

its because publicity Endeavor is seen as more dark and serious about his job,
which isn't bad, but the world would rather be saved by someone who generally
looks like he cares.
