The Honor System

Stamporion·Dec 23, 2015·3 votes·1,420 views

I know you guys are busy with all the reworks and new champs you are trying to come out with, but this has just been sitting for the past 3-4 years (I'm not exactly sure how long i started playing in s3). There is only a small percentage of the player base that has these special borders, so not many people honor people. There is not really a reason to honor people. Please revamp this so that we could actually think those special borders mean something and that we could obtain them.

Something I find flawed with this system is that there is no reward for having the sense of honoring others, right now the system just giving others honor points while you get nothing. There's nothing to motivate people to honor each other, maybe they should add a little reward to those who honor (maybe like # of people honored on your summoner's profile?). Another thing, being honored doesn't make you feel honorable or rewarding, you have to be honored consecutively in order to get ribbons (haven't seen that for a while), maybe lower the requirement for ribbons and add in some kind of Summoner Icon for accumulative reward. That's my idea, it's probably flawed since I'm no professional, so no hate please.

Yea that sounds like a great improvement, but then if it showed how many players you honored, then people would spam honor where it isn't deserved ( If they actually cared about how many people they honored- many most likely wouldn't).

Riot can set a certain number of honors everyday to make sure people don't honor blindly, and honor those who deserved it.

Didn't think about that. That would work perfectly.

I've had a ribbon for three years straight. They're still around, but the problem is they're easily farmed. Once I got my blue ribbon, 2 of my (extremely toxic) friends wanted one, tried for about a week or two and got it.

Last I recall the borders / ribbons you get in loading screens are temporary, meaning if you get it congrats but then keeping it depends on how many people honor you for whatever reason. So if you don't play for lets say 2-3 weeks for what ever reason (vacation / medical incident) you will lose it. I've had so many games lately that people from both team just leave the moment the lobby loads. Rito did mention they wanted to use the honor system in a sort of reward program but that was all I ever read in terms of the following up on that...
