Honor?

Before we start I'm not sure if anyone posted the same idea because I only scanned threw a portion of the forum and not everything.

So you have the honor points at the end of the game which for some people is a big deal (like myself) and I tend to give out a little and wait to see if I get some too. However, though this idea is supposed to be helping the community, it isn't really all that affective. I have a couple friends in school who play the game as well and at one point, since I just started playing the game, I asked them what the points did. At first they didn't know what I was talking about and I had to go on and on explaining it until they understood what I was talking about. Then they just explained that it really has no purpose and honestly doesn't matter. This was a bit upsetting for me because for the past two days I had been working really hard to improve my game, both in the mater of being useful but also friendly and helpful to others. After finding out that it did nothing I didn't hunt for the points too much after that.

Here is my suggestion to improve the system which will also help the community. Make these points have some kind of affect on the game. I know, from one of my other friends that recently started playing dota because he likes the community, they have a system that separates friendly and unfriendly people. If someone is reported too much or the game recognizes that they are really nothing more than trolls it puts them in a match with like minded people while at the same time people who are friendly and work together with their team get put into the same match.

Now, my only idea was not just to separate the two but also to encourage people to work together. For every point that you get I think you should be rewarded in some way. An idea that a lot of my friends like was it give you +5 or even +10 RP's for every honor point you get. That way you can make more a match just by be friendly and kind to each other. Of course this isn't a great deal more considering they already have a limit to how many honor points you can give out and you normally don't get anything more than 5 honor points (which only happens when everyone thinks your exceptional).

I hope you guys like my idea and comment about it. It would be great to see expansions on this idea and to see what the community thinks of it.

Thanks!

I think they should make it a tiering system where you don't lose anything you have earned just because you don't get anymore honor I think you should be able to earn like 500 friendlies and get an upgraded badge or something like every XX amount you get a cooler badge. Also I think you should be able to choose which badge you want to wear or better yet make each badge have a corner so if you have all 4 badges other players can see it or you could make it icons rather than badges now that everyone can see icons while loading into game.
