Pretty irked by this http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2551997087/235158654?tab=overview

Match summary -Ganked top ->kill -Counterganked zac ganking top taking passive and kill -Ganked top again after coming back to lane (sion was their highest ELO player at G3 in a S2 ELO game so needed to be shut down) ->kill -Ganked zac in his own jg taking passive and kill again, basically making him useless now -Bot gets triple from failed super weak zac gank from dying so much already and losing his jg camps -Solo take infernal dragon off this -Gank top ->kill -Ganked mid ->kill -Solo take Rift Herald then let it loose top lane to take top outer and top inner turrets -Gank zac again in his own jg, take passive and kill -Take dragon off this with their jg dead then kill sion who tries to stop me -Kill sion again after he spawns trying to push a wave -Save Jhin who is caught out in river 1v3 to turn it into 3v2 when bard and sion arrive later -Take dragon, then shove to win

Yet Jhin gets all the honors for being there to tag people for a big KDA who only really just won lane from getting 2 free zac kills after I made him useless, then able to get easy kills of sion who top and I made useless from killing so much, while doing nothing else important and not taking towers. Would get kills, farm wave, go home

I get 2+ honors almost every single game and I main support. Does this mean that you recognize support as a carry? Thanks so much for noticing the support!

Supports tend to get lots of votes if they make a big play

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2542421761/235158654?tab=overview This game I totally popped off and made yi absolutely useless but no one sees this because it's not in a big flashy teamfight but in the enemy jungle for no one to see. I got 1 vote from my duo and the rest went to support shen for frontlining & tanking when none of the carries performed.

I guess I should rename it to big flashy teamfight plays & carries get all the honors

Happens man, all a matter of perception on the part of your team.

Yeah I get that but our mid heavily lost lane despite me killing their Viktor a many times and had to keep shutting him down. Vik went down to kill Jhin too since Zac was useless and I was the only one who could take him on at the 15+ min mark and shut him down twice

Crushing their jungle and top frontline let us carry the game since they were super weak frontlining so Jhin could kill them. Would have at least figured top and mid would get me votes but nope

I rarely, rarely honor carries. Pretty much anyone can do their jobs. Basically they are a dime a dozen. Not as many can tank and support well. That is where my honor will always go unless a carry has a great game and wins the match. If neither happens then nobody gets honor.

honors about behavior though not about flashy plays. Thats why the honor systems a joke to begin with.

I don't give honor on behavior. This is a competitive game, which means winning is the main goal. Being nice is not the object but RIOT isn't special in their thought process. I will not support society's mantra of not holding people accountable when it comes to improving oneself. RIOT and too much of the player base allows it. It shows how many failures there are in real life because they can't negotiate something as simple as a game. I don't have that problem with those trying to improve. I have the problem with those that obviously don't. But, that's what society dictates these days and the world is a worse place because "everyone is special" now.

You do know you actually passively get honor from playing the game right? You don't need to see the actual icons pop up after game to have gotten honor.
