Honor system based on game mode

I've noticed if you're playing ranked, you mostly only get honored for carrying. If you can't carry but want honor, try aram. It's not that ranked isn't a good place to get honor, but I've noticed the losing team never honors anyone in ranked. In Aram you can get honored win or lose, whether your score is 1/12 or 12/1 based on you being a fun person to play with. Try it! It's actually so much more awesome than getting honored in ranked for one thing and one thing only.

This isn't true. People honor others whom they feel impacted the game a lot. There are frequent games where supports get the most honor; usually champions that get heavily fed clearly get the most honor votes but realistically players simply honor players they liked in the game.

In the case which you don't believe any of your team did well, players might vote for whom did not tilt/get mad at teammates. ARAM is just easier to farm honor because games are generally shorter and people rage less/feel less salty.

In ranked people like the person that did the best because they want to climb and appreciate the skilled players. If a support is skilled he may get honored. The honor system leans more toward skill than personality in ranked games, and thus softly defeats the purpose of a behavioral honor.

Of course a person that carried could have also been the shotcaller, tiltproof or whatever gg <3 is but it's because they performed well that game that they were honored. Some games I try to honor the guy that had a tough lane but didn't tilt, like a shen into a yorick. The shen got beat bad but he started helping out other lanes and we all had to get together to kill yorick because he was so fed. But I honored him for not raging or quitting. However I notice that the most honorable player usually is the one that had a cakewalk lane. In no way am I trying to say that carries should never be honored. I was just stating in my experience honor is more easily earned through other modes other than ranked because the importance of winning is not as high.
