Now that you can only honor one player per game, I've noticed that I, as a support main, never seem to get any honor. If my lane does well, the ADC gets to be the most honored player on the team, because the team just remembers seeing the ADC's mugshot when the kills come in. In 50+ games since the honor update, I haven't once been the most-honored player. And I'm not saying I deserve it every game, but it hasn't happened once? |:

I guess I could crack jokes all game and act friendlier instead of generally keeping quiet, but if the ADC can get honor for good gameplay, why not me?

Anyway, you're all welcome for the wards.

Being a support is a LOT like being a healer in MMOs... You don't get recognition for your badassery, and nobody notices your contribution. However, i tend to interpret my ADC's honors as my own little victory....

Why do you think people hate playing Support?

Tfw you think you deserve honour level 3, but didn't get it.

As ADC, I honor my support in around 50-70% of games. When you consider that there are three other people I could give an honor to, it's pretty often.

For example, just the other day I honored my Soraka for saving me from a Zed ult with a Wish. Apparently two other people did, too, because she got the end-screen honor majority... thing.

Tbh as a Support main I find myself getting at least 2-3 honors every other game. Perhaps you aren't doing things right. I mean creating this post, it makes me wanna help you out. Unfortunately tho I can't, er well I won't. I have a lot of supports as friends, and I really don't get to support as often as i'd like to. So all I can say is best of luck to you, if you are doing things correct; the honors will come eventually. HOWEVER if you believe that it will keep happening this way, you will hardly ever notice it. In my honest opinion most support "mains" i see now a days don't even put their life on the line for a complete stranger. Nor do I see them complimenting every good deed their team does. Perhaps start there and then get creative with that positive energy. Soraka

You bring up a good point... There are 2 honor categories for being nice and only 1 for ACTUALLY being good.... If you are getting focused REALLY HARD, like, unnecessarily hard, make a few jokes about them going after the support like idiots and cheer on your team for cleaning up their mistake... That is grounds for a 'tiltproof'! Or if you are quirky and funny and nice, you are more likely to get a friendly... Also, converse nicely with your opponents and don't yell at teammates, and if possible, try to be a playmaker. Nami, Sona, and Rakan all have huge playmaking ults, and if you use them wisely, you might get noticed!
