Premade Honor < "Solo" Honor

So wait, let me get this straight. Most of the new changes to this game that have been implemented have been focused around premades/teams, especially within the last few seasons. Solo Q returning sort of gave life back to the individual that may just want to jump on his/her pc to enjoy a game without always having to check who is on their friends list in order to enjoy a game. So premade play is/was encouraged in every system besides Honor because of how it can be "exploited" or used unfairly in that it wouldn't allow a "most honorable" stranger, rather it could encourage premades to alternate their own teammates as most honorable between a set amount of games.

So basically what you are saying is premades and teams get end of the season rewards and HAD OR HAVE a higher chance of receiving chests for S's, but so does the new Honor system; but in order for one to take full advantage of the Honor system, it is encouraged to give it to strangers so that premades aren't only honoring themselves.

So which one is it, play with friends and build teams and build relationships or play with strangers that arent premade to take full advantage of Honor. Also, the only strangers I previously had to worry about were the opponents who were more times than not, guaranteed to be strangers but as of right now I can't even honor them. ALSO, so when I utilize the SKIP button when it comes to honor, I only hurt myself by not taking part in giving Honor even when all 4 players on my team, in my opinion, may not deserve honor in that game.

I'm assuming you would like us to play a few games as a premade and a few games with strangers? I guess the best way to achieve this would be to play all modes of Ranked. I guess I just answered my own questions. Thanks.

Thats the decision I've come to. each system or gear that riot creates will be used by someone, hated by another and loved by another.. but at the same time, take dominion for example but dont take it too harshly, also take the removal of solo q back in the day... They are trying to focus on someone or some people, and then it skews the entire game in that direction because everyone isn't going to like everything and some ppl are going to be more privy to certain gamemodes, maps, etc.

My point is, everytime Riot tries to push the game in a certain direction, they end up contradicting a prior direction they tried to go which just alienates all groups of people. The new honor system affects the premades because they have to play with strangers to take full advantage and then it affects the solo people who may or may not want group rewards but may have a harder time enjoying games because solo q'ing has its own cancer and doesn't offer much in the "group mentality or group growth and bonding" type of category which league of legends seems to still revolve around. (on average, I have a better experience playing with someone or people I know rather than alone, outside of Solo/Duo Q Ranked, where I'm forced to play alone.)

So, as I've stated... the only way to take full advantage of this entire game is to play every single mode in the game until they remove it or tweak or break it, as they've been known to do in the past... My question is, who is that targeting? Because the average, casual player of League is probably not going to play thousands of games consisting of every game mode in any given season.

I dont understand why its so bad to have different avenues for different people. There are currently different rewards for different queues. I dont think riot is trying to force everything on everyone but they have however many players to cater to. People can be privy to whateevr they want and still get rewarded for it. Will they get all of the rewards? no Its meant to be a grind to unlock all of the free stuff because everything that is free has a real price tag on it and they have to make money.
