Honoring a Premade Teamate - Does it do NOTHING or just LESS?

The honor FAQ says you can't game the system and honor the crap out of your duo partner to boost - makes sense.

But, is it diminishing returns, or actually zero benefit. Is honoring my duo parter (or a member of my premade 5) a completely wasted vote?

Should I never honor them, or should I just honor them sparingly and favour match-made team mates?

Maybe if you honor your premade teammates too often they should grey-out to give them a break and indicate that you should pick someone else.

It's "less", not "nothing", as far as "honor XP" is concerned.

If you're level 3+, premades need TWO votes to get a flair for next game, whereas you need only ONE from a non-premade.

They want you to give honor to the players that deserved it the most on that match. If it's a premade, then honor them, if it's a random, then honor them. They won't make it it easier for you to game the system.

I don't honor, because no one on my team ever deserves an honor. I do honor my duo partner because he complains about someone not honoring for the tiny team-wide honor boost. Doesn't matter to me that he gets nothing for it.

In the old honor system I remember them saying honoring teamates was similar to honor trading and that you shouldn't honor teamates just enemies. U can't honor enemies now. I thought there was a comment bout occasionally honoring a friend who does well but can't remember perhaps its still out there in a search and perhaps it works the same way. I don't like though how they say everyone benefits if everyone honors. "A whole team gets a slight bonus to their honor level if every teammate votes. Just like the game, you win or lose as a team." Because it makes u honor every game 'to game the system' even though there will be games (especially in this community) where honoring someone just to get that team honor bonus will make u feel bad :P. like when ur the odd man out in a 4 man premade. Where ur fair game for whatever they consider 'fun'. withhold honor or get ur bonus and honor someone who doesn't deserve it.
