new honors isn't full options enough

we have two that are similar enough that if we have only three options one of them needs to be cut.

the way new honors works, it especially makes sense to have "mechanical strength" or something. have one being "great shotcalling" which would exemplify a strong stategic mind, and we'd have one "cool mind/friendly" or maybe a better description for someone who is good with team morale. and then can we please have "strong mechanics" or something to have the three pillars of league? y'know - strategy, mechanics, and temper. these are what make great league players. so why not have them all represented with an almost-mandatory honor system, instead of one twice and one not at all?

I get where you're coming from on this, but I think the new honor system is supposed to be more about communication and behavioral standards than mechanics. After all, an asshole can carry a game while still flaming his team. Mechanically skilled players are rewarded with match wins; the honor system is supposed to reward good sports.

no - good players, whether it is in mechanics, teamwork, or team morale - win and rise as it is. the honor system is supposed to incentivise people in doing that more, instead of being toxic. it's important to have the "wasn't toxic" option to do so - but if the system has holes where people aren't actually tempted to honor a teamate every time they win and even times they lose, then it is just an irritant that trains people to ignore the incentive.
