Suggestion for Honor System: Loser bonuses?

Miron Forestria·12/5/2017, 6:02:43 AM·1 votes·237 views

So, I was thinking: It kinda takes a special level of composure and play to stand out as honorable in a losing game, especially given a lot of the toxicity that gets thrown your way in those situations. It also takes a pretty good amount of good will to honor an ally who did well, even when you lost. That said, I think it'd be cool if Riot were to integrate small bonus rewards (pretty much just a boost to honor progress/points toward honor capsules) when a non-premade teammate honors you after a loss, or when you honor a non-premade teammate. I believe that this will create a field where people will feel more reason to act positively, even when losing in a game, and make the game more fun for everyone all around. The reward shouldn't be so great as to create incentive toward throwing a game but looking good while doing it to get honors- but rather should be a small bonus to make a nod toward the players that put their all into a game- lose- but lose gracefully in the eyes of their allies. Hence why I feel it should only be a small progress boost toward more rewards in the future. I also stress "non-premade" because more often than not the premade players will usually honor their friends after a hard game anyway. This should also create incentive to honor people you don't know that impact the game in a positive way for you as well, even in the face of defeat. What do you guys think?

I have a few of issues with this.

  1. No matter how small the reward is especially in arams, normals or boys it creates an incentive to lose because you get more for losing than you do winning.

  2. The honor system already encourages people to be less toxic in general and those that ignore it and proceed to be toxic will do so anyway, those that wouldn't be toxic with this system usually aren't being toxic now anyway so I don't see it making many more people play a non toxic game.

  3. While I get why you say no premade if I'm in a Premades of three and the only people on my team not to feed/be toxic are my Premades teammates honoring them becomes a slap in the face so to speak and forces people to honor somebody that was toxic just to get the reward.
