GG, Karma for All
Another game which sadly now is gone had a brilliant system.
Similar to what Riot is currently doing by rewarding people for playing with their friends rather than soloq; this game had a "Karma" system wherein you could be given a karma upvote at the end of the game similar to getting honored, and it would increase your "destiny" (IP) reward for the game you played. Meaning the game REWARDED you for being a good person rather than just giving you a dinky little tag on your icon.
It fostered a good community. Its a good idea imo.
Riot is clearly taking Ideas from this game already as they changed the jungle to be more like it, made baron have similar moves to the large jungle boss from that game and even put the logo of the game's creators in the jungle.
Riot is clearly also moving in a very Heroes of the Storm direction with their new champion mastery concept, why not an idea that directly effects and improves the community.
I know some of you are thinking, "Well no, people would just always Karma and then people would get mad IP."
But no, it doesn't work like that. If someone pisses you off you're not gonna Karma them.
In DG we had people who on principal refused to ever Karma anyone just cause they thought it was a waste of time to do so.
Its fair. It rewards good behaviour. It makes the game more fun and more rewarding.
