Is it me or the Supports does not get the honor they deserve? cause so far .... i carried a lots of my matches as support and i got 0 honor all the time, what's wrong with this community? W.o a healers/support there's no RAID nor a game, w.o a tank, a dps/adc can spec/item change to tank and voila, u got ur raid/game.

If I play Support, I typically honor the ADC or if I'm adc, I'll typically honor the support. It's not a hard stuck position, but if my adc/support did ok, then that bot lane life, fam.

so you think Honor should be given only to ADC? wow that makes no sense, like i stated already, you honor a player at how much he contributes to the game(also i agree he must have a cool chat too) but still, you think its easy to keep the ADC or the REST OF THE team alive and yet the support deserves nothing? you must be joking, you either are a bad example of a fair player, or ... you're trolling. By all mean, Riot should make an MVP at the end of the game, 'cause so far, in my 300 games as Support, in 200+ i've seen my ADC which cant even Steal the creeps properly, which i as support, i had to move from side to side to help the others and win the game, so in my opinion and not cause i'm a support player, but 'cause they can turn the tides of the game, deserves the HONOR from other players, ADC its nothing w.o support, like a tank its 0 w.o healer in MMorpgs, a DPS/ADC can change to tank spec/items and control the dmg for others, but i doubt an ADC or tank can go support, take it wisely, not Only "Lol" perspective.

I mean, honor is theoretically supposed to be given for good interpersonal behavior and shotcalling, not in-game skill. In practice it's often given to the carry, but it's hard to take credit for carrying a game when you're doing something passive like expertly shielding against incoming damage, or peeling well.

If you want more honors the "right" way, be effusive and positive in chat and hope that that resonates. If you want more honors through carrying as a support player, try flashier, offensive supports. I personally manage to get lots of honors playing Bard when I make big ult plays, since he's a splashier and more evocative support.

Idk I get honours sometimes. Sometimes even not deserved imho. Make sure to be positive or at least not to express negativity. Shotcalling can also increase your chances on getting rewards, but only if all your calls were effective, if it is otherwise you can get flamed. And yes, playmaking supports (that ofc made decent amount of playz) have higher chances of getting honours.

Yes, when I play duo there are games when I play better than my supp and games when he plays better than me.

In both situations I'm usually the one who gets the honor. It sucks.

As a support main in silver, it varies a lot by teammate.

Generally, when I get good teammates, they're able to recognize who started the play; and when I get the incredibly selfish ones who I can barely manage to keep from suiciding, they think whoever got the kill should get the honor.

(Note that I'm discussing only games where I actually did good, some games I just don't deserve the honor.)

I have no idea I'm a noob, but I like to give the honor to the adc if they are nice!

I'm still confused as to why in the hell they force us to only honor ONE player at the end of a game.

That's dumb. That's really, really, REALLY dumb.

Honors are -in my experience anyways- usually somewhat spread out unless one person hard carried, so I'm not really sure what you mean.

It's just part of being a support. We can start the play but it's the adc or the mid laner looking good.
