I still prefer honoring just one guy similar to how Overwatch does it with he player of the game i believe. It just shows more value. And the answer to this is not that riot lets everyone hnor everyone again and me just honoring 1 guy all the time. Ofcourse i also have games i have it hard to decide who to honor if it is that everyone is kinda honorable or everyone kidna not. But old systemw as so meaningless that every high elo player just sees the new honor system as a progress of value and importance.
Ok, than it is not 3 teams in a row but 5. problem still occurs at some point. I can also say buy a lottery ticket with one team there everyone deserved honors.
Yes, you can honor someone with words, but actions showing your gratitude go further, even if they're simple actions.
actions? What do you do big as just clicking on an image? a gratitude of writing a small paragraph or small talk at the end shows less gratitude as the option riot gives? like hell, you can even write the same things to them: You can write tiltproof and chill, leadership and strategy or teamplayer and friendly to them. All whats diffrent not everyone gets farther in their honor progress or have a honor badge at the start of a new game.
Funny thing is: you could talk ingame with your mates and say you think everyone is honorable and divide the task that each player honors one, so every 5 of you gets 1 honor and a badge (teammates should not honor themself as it needs 2 honors of teammates for a badge. in a group of 3-5 well, not everyone gets a badge for next game, same with people under honor lv3 ofcourse but that is not that much of a deal).
yea honoring opponments will still be not sovled butagain you can write with them, what they did good, what they missed etc. And riot is kidna right as you have nto as much insight to the enemy to justify a complete honor option. Giving them farter honor for the system cause you think he was good while he could have been a complete douchebag in the enemy team by flaming everyone and stealing buffs, farm, kills or going afk/warning mates to go etc: Where should you know what the enemie does the whole time? would be funny to see such guys with badges in the next game or not decreasing in honor as they always get honorable from enemies while their teamates have to suffer.
so here is the simple advantage of just honoring with words that you still can encourage them for goodactions, even if they lsot the game. AND see realy fast how this guy performs as a person, if he flames his mates and shows no respect or is a friendly guy.
