Dear Riot. I really like and apriciate all of your great work on league of Legends but I have an issue with the New honor system. It is not really an issue/tecnical issue but I would like to give feedback on it.

(The feedback) Negative things

  • I dont like that you cant Honor Enemies. I would really like to have the chance of honoring a enemy.
  • I would like to have the abiliti to Honor more than 1 teammate, maybe 2 because I know that you goal is to make every single honor feel more valuable. But I hate it when I have to chose 1 out of 4 GREAT teammates for example...
  • I would like to see how far I am in my Honor level. Lets say im in Honor lvl 2 and I would like to see how close I am to lvl 3 for example like the Champion level.

(The feedback) Positive things

  • I really like the Music at the login screen (The music that comes together with the Honor lvl animation)
  • I Really like the look of the different Honor levels/Animation at the logon screen.
  • Overall I really like the new system compared with the old. I just want some small chances (look above)
  • I also like the way you Honor people now, the screen that pops up when you are done with a game.

I hope that you see this feedback and that you can use it. GG WP RIOT!

They will probably improve the system. Now it feels unfinished and Riot now it. They just needed to release the system as soon as it is ready. They will add new things every now and then. Probably your things, too.

But I am not here because of that. I just wanted to make it clear that there will never be a progress meter for the honor system just because it isn't based on xp or points but on your overall behaviour in games and out of them. If you want to see more I will put the Rioter's answer:

When asked about a way to see their progression to the next honor level, Simurgh responded:

"Give us a way to watch our honor gain like masteries. We have no idea how far/close we are to leveling.

Getting honor felt great at first but it almost feels like beating a dead horse trying to level without seeing how far/close we are.

Hey, this is a good question, but we actually very intentionally did not include any sort of progress indicator for Honor levels. Here are a few reasons why:

1.We didn't want to anchor people on the "grind" to honor levels. By not having progress indicators, we wanted to root the reinforcement for being sportsmanlike on the feedback you get from other players (the honors), not any artificial motivation from being "close to the next level".

2.Our behind-the-scenes systems which determine honor level ups aren't simple. The types of calculations we do to determine if a player is ready to level up take into account their holistic behavior across many games, and don't lend themselves well to being surfaced in an "XP bar"-style system. Anything we surface here could also warp behavior around trying to "minmax" the most honor points, which really refocuses it away from the point of the Honor system - play good games and you'll make progress.

3.We wanted to have a few discrete levels in Honor, since bloating the number would make each feel less meaningful. However, we wanted players to progress over the course of a season or half-season, which means that progress to the next level would necessarily be fairly slow. We didn't think it would be a great experience to reinforce this through some progress indicator."
