Can I be removed from the Honor Initiative?

Galgorra·Mar 1, 2015·1 votes·334 views

Ok I'll be frank, I dislike the honor system in this game. I hate seeing a "you have been honored by your teammates +1 this, +1 that." And it is especially annoying when I get it on a regular basis (and no, I am not trying to brag, I am just sick and tired of seeing these notifications) Is there a way I can be removed from it because frankly I view that whole thing as pandering, annoying, and unhelpful. I don't play league games to get recommendations about how well I did or whatever. I play to win and have a good game and that's it. Don't pander me with the honor system, what are we, a little league soccer team?

So anyone know how I can remove myself from this?

ye you can be a dick all game and get reported instead, judging by this ridiculous post that wont be too hard for you... grow up chump the honor system isnt to reward you for playing, its to show your teammates and opponents appreciation for making the game enjoyable for them or by being a good sport.

Who said I wasn't a good sport or wasn't a team player? I play well with my team mates, cooperate and strategize well with most of them. I just don't care to get "honored" for it. It is a pandering system that is basically implying "Good job, you played such a great game, congrats, here is a shiny medal" It feels like we are on a little league soccer team getting medals for "being a good sport" or "putting in a good effort" I don't need some encouraging medal or pat on the back to know I played a good game.

When did i say you werent? Learn to read before you respond.

I feel like you just learned what pandering meant and think you know how to use it... you are using it wrong. The system isnt for you, its for the other people you play with. If you are not actively trying to to get honors then its not a "pandering system" now is it? Its just a small reminder to everyone else that you are a nice person, that people can trust in your skills and judgements, they know you will not be a troll, that they can converse with you without fear of being ridiculed.

Honestly, I think you think its cool to not care about medals and such, but really you are just coming off as an extremely arrogant asshole. Except the damn honor and get on with your life, its cool that you say you are a nice person and a good sport and are not doing it for a reward, but you are ruining that image by actually complaining about getting an honor. You are basically spitting in their face saying "I dont need or want your honor" and all they are trying to do is show their appreciation for an enjoyable game.

Btw that "little league soccer team" thing you keep using, yeah that is called life... You get rewarded for working hard even if you do not expect to get rewarded for doing it. Its how our world works and i think you need to open your eyes.

That's like asking if you can remove all the article links on the front page of your client, or deleting your summoner icons, or deleting all the skins you might have bought.

It's just part of the game. You were appreciated by your teammates so you got honor. Deal with it.

Don't want to "deal with it" It is pandering, I despise pandering. I don't care what other people think of how well I played. I just play.

At the very least is there any way to disable the notifications that let me know I was honored? That would at least alleviate some of the annoyance

2 things:

First, how is it pandering?

Second, if you don't care what they think of how you played, why do you care about the honor system either way?

First, look at my response to the other commenter to understand why I think its pandering

Second, because I get constant notifications of it and it annoys me to no end. If there was a way to suppress those honor notification messages, then I wouldn't care as much. I still think its a stupid system but at least I wouldn't have to get notifications about it

That's not really pandering by any definition I've heard of. I don't really understand what the problem is with your allies recognizing your achievements. Of course, it's also true that the system isn't fully completed, and will see more functions added relatively soon (it's supposed to be tied in to the new Tribunal system).

I... Okay. I don't think this is a conversation we're capable of having. I cannot for the life of me even begin to comprehend where you're coming from with this, or why it should be such a frustration to have a small pop-up (indicating appreciation from the people you just played with) show up a handful of seconds.

I don't doubt you, mind. I just can't understand it, and as such, I can't really discuss it.
