New Honor Season Rewards are Terrible
As long as you play daily you will run out of chests, so the extra key fragments are useless, Flooding me with BE that I already gain from playing the game doesn't feel good either. There is also a reason no one buys ward skins/emotes.. people don't care about them.
Now before you call me an ungrateful freeloader, I personally don't care whether Riot gives me free rewards or not. I want the rewards to be good so players are encouraged to be nicer, these rewards suck, sorry. No one is going to actively bother to become nicer to get an emote and some blue essence; the only good rewards are the limited skins, and I seriously suspect only a small fraction of the player base will care about them. I think Riot has missed the point of what the honor system is supposed to accomplish. By having the honor end game so drawn out, people that need the system to be nicer will give up and not care for it.
Here are the rewards in case you haven't seen them:
Level 1
- LEVEL UP 1 Key
Level 2
-

CHECKPOINT 2 Key fragments
