Honor System

Cstretch·10/13/2014, 11:48:47 PM·1 votes·821 views

So I've been looking around wondering about this Honor System, i've read a few things on it but nobody seems to really know. I've heard some numbers of people getting the ribbons as low as 20 honors. I was just wondering if anyone could shed a little light on his this works? I have 103 Honorable Opponents, and around 148 combined teammate honors. Anyone have a clue?

You lose all your points that are hidden if you're reported for any reason whatsoever, by whoever. So, essentially . . . even if you say nothing, but some duo hates you because you didn't give ever single kill to their buddy in a normal game, they decide to report you. You no longer have "honor." Therefore the system starts you all over again. People with ribbons very rarely yoloque. Which is why you almost never see ribbons in soloque, because everyone gets reported for everything there.

Is that true ??

Can you confirm what your saying ? If that is true why do I see so many badges ?

Any one else help out here ??

Honor is based on an algorithm that includes your Honor totals, the hidden actual value of each Honor point, and your number of games played. To my knowledge it's about maintaining a threshold, and that threshold is almost impossible to hit/keep in normal play. It's also basically impossible to predict. For example:

Player 1 receives 2 Honor in a game. 1 Honor was given by a reputable player, 1 Honor was given by a relatively non-reputable player. This might actually result in a number like 1.4 being used in the calculation for Crests, despite the fact it is visually shown as being +2 Honor.

To be perfectly honest my opinion is that the Honor system is effectively dead, and will continue to be dead until significant changes are introduced by Riot. There are no checks/balances to see if Honor given/received is accurate, playing more often can actually be a disadvantage, it's extremely easy to abuse, and the visible notifiers of Honor totals are likely completely wrong.
