Honorable Opponents.... Who cares?

Shut up about this topic no one caress!!!!

I care. That's why I've made 4 posts about it in the past month, up voted every post I've seen on the topic and posted many response comments. But I have noticed that those who don't want it back simply don't care one way or another. I think that as an "esport" more emphasis should be placed on respecting opponents in general. Regardless of the reason you choose to honor them the option was a nice way to let your opponents know you enjoyed playing against them.

Thank you for participating

As long as the argument for honoring opponents is that players 'want to honor opponents' and 'we used to able to honor opponents', I can't support it.

The argument for honoring opponents must address:

the question of players choosing to honor enemies and not teammates
the value and purpose of honoring opponents in the new honor system

Arguments that 'we want to honor opponents' and 'we used to be able to honor opponents in the terrible failure that was the old honor system' are not good enough to earn my support for the proposal.

Don't get it wrong. I think it would be cool to honor opponents too! But until the suggestion become more coherent, I regard it as upvote farming by players who want something but don't care enough to spend the time to make their idea coherent and useful.

I appreciate that feedback, it's true that i may be just upset that I can no longer honor anymore. Although i do not know what the solution should be with integration into the new honor system, I do know that most people did enjoy giving and receiving honor from their opponents. That was all I tryed to show in this post. I wanted to see who supports honoring vs not honoring vs no opinion at all. This post is in response to the "WHO CARES ABOUT THIS TOPIC" responses that keep popping up.

It's just nice though innit? If there's a bit of fun between two opponents - you want a bit of honor yourself too = more rewards rather than a hextech chest giving champ shards every time 😂

Being able to earn honors from the enemy team if you're a good sport might help make the climb back from honor 0 or 1 not feel so stupid.

As it stands, the only real way you can earn honors is to carry games since your teammates can only give a single honor each, unless you meet the very rare person who actually honors you for not being a jerk.

getting honored has no effect on how fast you go up in honors xdxdxd

YOU RIGHT. PEOPLE WHO PLAY LEAGUE OF LEGEND, WE MUST UNITE TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN TO CHANGE THE HONOR SYSTEM!!! WE HAVE TO MAKE RIOT CHANGE THE HONOR SYSTEM AGAIN BECAUSE WE NEED THAT EXTRA SPECIAL THING WHEN ONE OF THE ENEMY OPPONENT DID SOMETHING SPECTACULAR. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO STAND OUR GROUND SAY FUCK YOU RIOT, FUCK YOU. WE WILL NOT BE OPPRESSED. WE WILL RISE AND FORCE RIOT TO CHANGE THE HONOR SO THAT WE CAN HONOR A WORTHY OPPONENT! THX YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND MAY WE MEET AGAIN ON THE RIFT!

Personally I don't care, but I don't see it being a bad thing to add to league, so why not.

Yesterday i had really annoying jungler on other team. After we won i was waiting end game screen with full intention of honoring him... And then it hit me...
