Orange/Blue Essence for Honors
_I apologize if Gameplay is the incorrect Board for this. _
I played a match recently that I really enjoyed. My teammates were somewhat coordinated and chatting/pinging consistently. No one was toxic, and we were having fun in our chat. The enemies were pretty evenly matched and were even being fun in All Chat. It was a bit longer than usual since it was close and a lot of back and forth. Plus it was Normals, so just being in that atmosphere made it more casual.
The game ends, and I go down the list honoring teammates that were helpful, nice, etc. and honored my opponents.
I noticed I got a key fragment, which turned out to be my third, and so I unlocked a chest, got a Skin Shard which was worth enough Orange Essence for me to convert another Skin Shard into a Skin.
All of this together made me feel awesome. A good game with fun teammates and opponents, a new skin---League is good.
And it got me thinking: what if players had some sort of Hextech Crafting benefit attached to the Honors system? Whether it be Orange Essence or Blue Essence or key fragments or chest fragments or something. What if it gave you some sort of new Loot that allows you to convert 10 Honors Gems to an Honorable Opponent load-in border or something. The possibilities are endless!
Of course, friends/club members/multi-queues would not count for each other. They would have to be for strangers only.
What do you guys think? Am I too optimistic? Does this sound like a good idea or a bad one?
