When it was first released i managed to get my Honorable opponent badge very fast on EUNE server as i am an old NA player where Most old NA players are known to be very sportsmanlike and very talkative . So i got it Then i lost it couple of weeks later Then i got it again Then i lost it 1 week after Then i got it again Then i lost it 3 days later. Then i never even saw it again. That was like more than 2 years ago So... What's up with it ?
Riot is working on reworking the system. It was initially designed to be a cool little thing to try to influence players to be more friendly and sportsmanlike, but nobody ever even Honors when they should.
Personally, I liked Dawngate's system when it was around. You would honor players at the end of the game on a separate screen with a timer that would have to run out before you were allowed to jump into the next game, and it would directly influence the rewards you got. More honors meant more of the free currency, and higher tiers would allow you to get random ones of their version of runes, and the highest tier even allowed you to get a mystery champion completely free. Something like that would be really good, I think.
