Honor System Change Suggestion

Lcyc29··4 votes·2,313 views

I have been playing League of Legends for two years. I have seen the drastic changes from Season 6 to Season 8, and there will be more changes in Season 9. Some of those changes are good, but some of those changes make players impossible to appreciate the game and other players. I am talking about the Honor System. I am currently Gold 5, but because I was toxic and salty during some games, I was penalized for removing all of my honors to level 0. Now, I have learned to be tilt-proof and use ''/mute all'' to control my emotions. The problem is, no matter how hard I play as a support, ADC or jungler, no one would honor me. It is not fair for people who try their best but do not receive any honor. The essential issue is that because I can't reach Honor Level 2, I will not be rewarded for the gold skin. This restriction that player with Gold rank can only be awarded for the skin if they have Honor Level 2 is too harsh for good players. Most players don't care about the Honor System. Even though I carry very hard in normal games, no one will honor me for my effort. All of this may sound like complaints, but I think that the Honor System needs to change. There needs to be some automatic honor for people who carry the game and perform well and those who are tilt-proof and friendly to others. As long as those who carry the game, even though they don't talk at all, they should be honored. The worst situation is for those who are Platinum or Diamond but still have low Honor Level, how are they going to be rewarded for their effort?

Unfortunately, the kind of people who go on discussion forums (namely here or Reddit) about this game are the worst kind of toxic: the hypocritical kind. They're more than happy to stone a person but won't recognize the act of stoning is itself immoral.

So there's this MASSIVE community bias against anyone who makes a mistake in chat. And they don't see that there never before was and never should be an extra penalty on top of your suspension that not only makes you ineligible for any riot giveaways but also takes away your earned rewards.

And even despite the fact this has no effect whatsoever on other players, they still think it's fine. They just want to see you suffer.

Hell, I don't play ranked and haven't had interest in it in my 7 years of playing. And even despite that, they incorrectly downvote my threads (since votes are intended to encourage discussion, specifically not to show agreement), and leave hateful comments towards people who've already served their time.

I also noticed it. People who stand strongly against it are mostly in silvers who do not even qualify for the end of season rank rewards. The funny part is that I have probably never see or play them on ranked and will not unless they make their way up, but they seem to be really judgemental and negative on whatever I say or try. And I came to a conclusion that most of people on forum do want others to suffer and they will not support whoever deserves the rewards because of efforts and skills. Honestly, they seem way more toxic and negative than how I got my first lol life chat restriction.

No one will do that more banned players = more accounts=RP under honor 2= new account to get victorious and fresh honor=RP
