The honor system isn't very well designed.
Nevermind that I've gotten to level 4 with zero loot. I used to be able to honor my entire team if I wanted, and members of the opposing team for good games. Now, I have to pick someone and give them a quasi reason. Mostly, I see that the person with the most kills gets the honors. I try to honor someone at random, hopefully everyone on the team at least clicks on someone.
