You haven't found any time to do something useful with it? Is it being reworked to go with Hextech Crafting? Are you changing the system so its not absurdly impossible to get a ribbon and maintain it?
If not, then just remove it, it's like the old report for unskilled, it serves no purpose.
RocketRelm15 votesTo be fair, the report for Unskilled is there deliberately to Fck with people that genuinely would want to report for it. Makes them believe they're actually getting a report in and it's kind of a 'self-filter' for some reports.

They defeated that purpose though when they said it themselves that it didn't do anything. It was simply a placebo effect.
RocketRelm3 votesNot everyone knows that, or reads it. I've seen people in season 6 say "I'm going to report for Unskilled" in the chat of the game, as if it was a serious answer to "what are you gonna report for?".

I doubt you've seen that as it was removed amoths ago from the report section.
RocketRelm1 votesJust because it isn't there doesn't mean I haven't seen people say, in season 6, "I'm going to report you for Unskilled".
It Hertz When IP3 votesFrom what I understood it did have a tiny impact on MMR, with enough Unskilled reports bumping the player down a bit.
GigglesO1 votesThey defeated that purpose though when they said it themselves that it didn't do anything. It was simply a placebo effect.
They should have made it so that if you get enough unskilled reports you lose 5 lp, or something like that. Obviously if you are too unskilled you could drop a whole tier or more with enough reports.
Psi211 votesWhile inappropriate name (with an explanation is a RED flag). And since we have a lot of kiddies. It works beautifully.
Joey3763 votesNo it lowered MMR and was a good way to find trolls since their stat lines would show they were trolling/item build. Many were offended with receiving the report but you reap what you sow so consequently their MMR would drop plus helped find elo boosted players since their stat lines were really bad
Midder Scray1 votesI thought it was just a way to prevent getting matched up with certain players again?
DrNova11 votesYeah I don't see the point.
I get teamwork votes all the time, but never get banners, never see anyo e with banners either (not that they mean or do anything)
forresto10 votesI think I've seen 1 or 2 banners in the last year and a half of games. I have the feeling riot forgot about the honor system.
ArlanKels5 votesI think I've seen 1 or 2 banners in the last year and a half of games. I have the feeling riot forgot about the honor system.
Like Dominion? HOH OH HO HO HO H... ..
...sorry. I'm going back into my cage now.
YCitizenSnipsY2 votesThats cause no one uses the Honor system anymore. I think I get 1 teamwork every two matches, and never any friendly or helpfuls.
Xonra1 votesI think I've seen 1 or 2 banners in the last year and a half of games. I have the feeling riot forgot about the honor system.
Sadly i doubt they forgot about it. I imagine it falls more in line with their favorite way of actually handling problems "we are aware it is an issue, but there are more pressing issues" or slightly rewording that to say they are focused on bigger projects, etc.
They've become the new kings of starting something and never actually fully implementing it, finishing it, or just outright abandoning it till it is in such an awkward or pointless place they have to rework or remove it. I have no doubt we will see the end of the honor system before we see Riot actually do anything with it.
PaladinNO3 votesI've pretty much lost interest in the honor system - first off, I think I deserve the teamwork honor crest (have held it 4 times, and am still receiving honors of various types), but all Dravening aside, considering the state of LoL today, it seems the current honor is not getting reported.
Though personally, I kinda like an honor system despite the current one probably being flawed, as I use it to judge whether or not to accept a friend invite: They got lots of honors, they're most likely actually friendly and could be fun to play with, and not someone who just throws an invite for no apparent reason. But that's about it.
Blue Moon Wolf3 votesI've had a ribbon for 3-4 years straight and I've found it easy to maintain as long as you try to stay civil and keep your mouth shut if something puts you in a bad mood. As for a way to improve the system, they could give a reward to people with ribbons. something simple like shorter wait times or something small like that.
This would give a reason for people to want to be friendlier and honor people they enjoyed playing with, cause then they have a better chance of playing games with friendly players on top of the shorter wait times, just like how the penalties make it so toxic players have to wait longer and get stuck with other toxic players. simply put, it would be the exact opposite of the reporting system, as the honor system should be.
Stand Alone Wolf2 votesYes. I like this. Voted up for your name btw.
Cerbearus2 votesI think SivHD has one if I remember correctly
Jonheath2912 votesI've had ribbons since the system was introduced. I've had every ribbon at one point and ever since their last interation, I've had the Green Ribbon.
La Barbotte2 votesits gonna suffer the dominion treatment
Dicerson2 votesWell it used to be incredibly easy to get banners, so much so that they had to make it difficult. Then the flavor of the month of ribbons passed and riot never reverted the change, so now ribbons serve no purpose.
Llanite2 votesSome people still have it, you're not having it doesnt mean it should be removed.
Weasel Kensei2 votesUnfortunately we have a ton of self-absorbed kiddies in this game with attention deficit and they have to go straight to their phones after the match and dont have time to consider the helpful actions of others.
Then there is the asshat trolls that honor feeders, and people who died the most...
It takes so much to get one, Iv never got one. Iv played a little more than a year and I have 60 friendly, 41 helpful, 212 teamwork, and 152 honorable opponent. I dont know how much it takes to get one, but obviously more honor than Iv ever gotten. So with fruit so high up in a tree almost no one can see it, no wonder people dont give a damn about the honor system.
Maybe if you had a ribbon you could earn 10 RP along with your win of the day, people would try to earn adulation form their team mates. Maybe people would stop abusing it by honoring trolls, cause then you can point out if you reward trolls, we will have more, and then they will be making YOU lose YOUR matchs... dont honor them.
The honor system has the potential for carrot/stick kinds of behavior reinforcement, but its not even used much because it basically dose nothing that people can see or care about.

A lot of people got honor the first time around from either directly asking/begging for it, or the people that play normals with friends a lot and just all honor each other (that still works, and tends to be a lot of the reason people have the ribbons even if they won't admit it).
If you play solo you are less likely to get them, and if you play ranked, you will most likely never see honorable opponent from all the salt. The honor system was supposed to show off ribbons for good players so you could see who were "positive" but I see just as many toxic players who just have honor spam from their buddies.
Stand Alone Wolf1 votesI've played solo games about 90% of all the years playing league. I also received mine in soloQ. I was first given a red ribbon. Then I went to Blue (The one I wanted most) last I bounced to Green.
CoffeeDave1 voteshttp://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z409/Bruser_Mcgee/Lotta%20Honor_1.jpg
I've had the Green Banner for well over 2 years now. I have something like +560 Teamwork alone. That green banner kinda looks awkward now.
EDIT: Fixed Image
EDIT 2: I know they opened up the PBE to the most honored(?). I guess I didn't have enough because I wasn't pick. shrugs

PBE has nothing to do with honors. I got into the pbe never having a ribbon and got in on the first rotation a long time ago.
SnowFall1 votesBUT MUH KARMA
DoctorInju1 votesI got a green ribbon about a year ago (I started when Jinx was released). I have 151 Friendly, 63 Helpful, 2472 Teamwork, and 381 Honorable Opponent.
CorpseMoney1 votesIts pretty stupid I had the honorable opponent ribbon earlier this year, and its since gone. It should just be permanent, cause people honoring you is whimsical and random. Not only that certain people just say "Really great game guys, thanks" at the end of games to harvest honor, and it works.
Oksanaandjoy1 votesMan, I'm chasin' the dream to get one of those ribbons! I hope it's still a thing. I wish that would match us based on our honour though. Would get rid of so many offensive player matchings.
DeynaTaggerung1 votesWell I wouldn't say it serves no purpose but rather the community has more or less forgotten about it so the system has more or less died out
Doctor Dyment1 votesFuck. It can't have been three years since that was implemented, can it? Jesus, time does fly. And I've gotten a ton of those, why haven't I gotten anything for it?
hotarse1 votesI think you should be able to honor someone in game. I'd do it right after someone does something awesome... but by the end of the game... i've already forgotten or don't care anymore.
TeCoolMage1 votesWhy does everyone in NA complain about never getting ribbons? There's like, at least 3 per team in OCE normals.
EDIT: oh downvotes for making an observation that ruins the oh so perfect (look at Korea. o pls.) view on NA.
Stand Alone Wolf2 votesI'll make a nasty assumption here, and say it's possibly due to NA having more Toxicity than OCE has in five of its highest played games (including League) combined over there.
Streetlight Man1 votesIt's a status symbol, people tend to look at you with more faith and respect.
Atleast, that's how it works with me
dimilo1 votesTotally agree with this. Why hasn't it been removed or replaced with a better system? It's rarely used and only effective 50% of the time (when you win).
Stand Alone Wolf1 votesI've had my ribbon since the year I started this game, and I've grown use to it being there. I like my ribbon like I like my beard. When it's gone, I feel naked.
Stand Alone Wolf1 votesIt's like the old report for unskilled, it serves no purpose.
All the flamers: "Wait, what?"
Quivz1 votesI've got a green ribbon that occasionally turns purple, but generally goes back to green in a few days. I almost always get teamed with other green and yellow ribboned players and find i see alot of teams that have several red ribbons.
