Seriously, it is literally so underwhelming right now. I have no idea if I'm almost level 3 or im nowhere near and it feels pretty underwhelming as whole. I understand that the progress isnt shown so people dont just get to whatever level they want and then stop being honorable, but seriously, it's been what, a month since the honor system came out? And no one is at level 3, let alone 5? Pshh :(
The Leo Cat4 votesIt is a system designed to progress very slowly... not quickly. On top of that, Riot has also stated that there is no manual 'progression'. Only that the system decides you are ready to be leveled up in honor.
It may need to be tweaked however. A common trend for Honor is that people will usually honor the person that carried the hardest, rather than someone who showed a behavior that is actually commendable. It really doesn't matter how much of an asshole that player was, as long as they carried in the most obvious fashion.
So... by that logic... Support is unlikely to be most honored, despite some supports being designed in such a way that they can completely turn a fight around. And Jungle is unlikely to be most honored because he/she won't gank someone's lane.
TeemosLeftBoot1 votesi got honor level 3 and I'm only level 20 its not really that slow
The Leo Cat1 votesIt'll be slow for me :P I got other things to do. At most I probably get like two or three games a week.
Sohleks1 votesI'm not gonna honor someone with a sour attitude but I feel encouraged to just toss around Honor casually cause that happens my way too. There's not a ton of interaction in most games. I'd like to save it for something meaningful but after a bit it just seems pointless so I just toss a GG honor to someone who synergized with me in game through gameplay. It's odd though because in this game at some point the lines between teamwork and skill are muddy when the game is designed in such a way that it is pretty teamwork based.
Played a number Darkstar Thresh games the other weekend. I've played a few dozen of those games and nobody ever says much more than a comment about a silly or shocking play but end of every game you just randomly pick up honor so I just click back too. Especially if you know you get a small bonus if everyone honors. The honor screen pops up and literally everyone is Darkstar Thresh and people click w/e (and tend to get more when I do better)
I also find the 1 honor per game limit kinda stupid functionally. I GET what it's trying to do but with like I said above you get to a point to casually toss out honor for basically nothing but team synergy. But then about premades. You find out some others in your team are premade you realize your chances of getting honored go down significantly because they'll just toss em at each other. Not saying that's always the case but in reality that's usually the case. Even if people and I know honoring your own premade is near zero effect. I don't see the point that you can honor your own regular premades actually. The 1 honor limit does make receiving it feel better though. The premade thing still seems pointless though. Maybe honor could work differently for heavy premade-ers.
Sohleks1 votesSince a few days ago some people are hitting Honor level 3
RogueWill1 votesPeople are hittign level 3 already, most have over 100 honorable games so...spam aram xD
Pandemic Punch1 votesI hit honor level 3 within the last 2 days. I wasn't sure if I would get it this soon either. I am not perfect. I only got about 7 games where I was the most honorable so it isn't like I have been a god and got honored every game either. Just keep playing and make sure you honor someone on your team. If you don't honor anyone, you don't get any progress.
