The Not-Much-Honor System
The honor system, in my opinion, is a complete joke. For one, you are never introduced to it as a starting player, as I have noticed when leveling my smurfs. I NEVER get honored, EVER, except by my friends, of course... which then leads me to believe that MOST people who have the honor banners, ribbons, whatever it is (you RARELY see them) just have a wide network of friends, friends of friends, etc. who honor one another. It's rigged. The most annoying part is, I honor people fairly. I honor my teammates, even for a loss, if they showed teamwork, were friendly, or gave me a useful bit of information (Helpful, really? Who can you help? everyone knows the game, and as I stated, new players, THE ONES YOU WOULD HELP, don't even know the system exists.
For example, just played an ARAM... very fair match, great trades... just one of those seemingly rare ARAMs where its may the best man win, not just better Comp. Afterward, in post-game lobby, I say "gg all, great match, honors everyone".. people even acknowledge me saying this. I honor everyone, "Cool", I think to myself... until I leave lobby, and all I get in return is a lousy "+1 Teamork"..... FROM MY DUO PARTNER. SERIOUSLY? Please do away with this HONORLESS system, or at least actually promote it and make it more applicable. And give Graves his cigar already.
