Honoring more than one person

I think that the end of game menu should allow you to honor multiple teammates and then click continue to stats.

Those were the days! Especially when you have a good game where multiple members of your team did well or didn't tilt, etc.

Go to go, I'm in queue!

Thanks!

Then it just cheapens Honor.

Then have player get 2 honor points per game. Allow them to give the honor to two people, both points to one player, or no points to anyone.

Why? Because you really can't make a decision?

You won't see them again unless they are a friend. And if they are a friend then they aren't a good one if they get pissy from lack of honor every game.

You get to acknowledge one person with your internet points. Having only a single point is what makes it actually mean something to people.

Stop trying to justify participation trophies.

A participation trophy is just as egregious as denying someone who allowed for the win simply because the system is designed poorly. Honor means something because of the rewards it unlocks.

I make decisions just fine. I run Membership and Logistics for a Regional company. I'm a semester away from a master's in a field I just moved into. And I've made the easy decision that you came in here with an axe to grind. Your emotional problems aren't my problem. Nor are they a reason to keep a bad system bad.

Take your personal problems elsewhere. They're effecting your judgement.

You seem to be taking my participation trophy comment very seriously. I apologize.

And yes, Honor does reward something, which makes it even more valuable than it already is as a singular item. Riot wants Honor to be a very valuable thing, hence why it is so limited in distribution. It makes whoever got that honor feel more deserving of it because they know that someone on their team is honoring them and them alone.

Making it so we have more honor to distribute cheapens that feeling and leaves only the physical (or cyberspace) rewards of that honor. Which Riot wanted as an end goal, but not without a meaning to the journey.

I'm not taking it serious, I just know a disgruntled suburban dwelling misanthrope when I see one.

There's no need for insulting.

Honor shouldn't only hold meaning simply because no one else gets it. That's base human greed. Either you did well or you didn't. Your performance isn't dictated by other players. Did you contribute to the win? Did you make great calls? Were you a pleasure to play with?

Correct, my performance is not dictated by other players. That is what the grade system is for. But the examples you use are based on opinions of other players and can be meaningless if they are easily distributed.

Which was a problem with the old honor system.

Wasn't an insult.

The old system was meaningless because there was no reward for honor.

Now there is a reward for honor.

It has nothing to do with the number of ribbons given out. Have you ever voted in a city council election before?

There was a reward for honor, they were ribbons.

Now there are better rewards for honor. Which in turn strengthens motivation to gain that honor.

disgruntled suburban dwelling misanthrope. Wasn't an insult.

Going to have to disagree on how being called an angry person who lives in suburbia and dislikes/avoids humankind is not an insult. But I suppose we can agree to disagree.

My idea was to have it like ARAM rerolls. You get 1 honor per game, and every x games you can use a second honor. This way it wouldn't be cheapened too much, and I think 1 in 5 or 6 games maybe would be fair for a second honor. No stacking or anything, just 5-6 games after the last time you honored 2 you can honor 2 again.
