@RIOT: Please disable or try to fix honoring your premades, its ruining the honor system

So when honor finally hit live yesterday I played a couple of solo games and most of my teammates were often solo and it was great, everyone honored everyone and it felt good. But after that my friend asked me to play together and he honored me every single time, so I felt bad and felt like I had to honor him back. Same thing happened to every single premade group since then and I didnt get more than 2 honors again (because if 2 premades honor each other you cant get more than 2). It works bad in 2 ways - it disables you from honoring anyone else but your premade friend and it disables you from getting the flair because you cant get more than 2 honors.

Now of course there are problems with this as well - maybe your friend really was the best teammate and he deserved it, maybe all of the people you played with who arent your premades were toxic flamers, maybe you are 5 premade, but I am sure its easier to fix that than have this kind of system where I am forced to honor my friend or he will get angry with me IRL when in reality another person deserved it more.

Can we do something about this ?

Maybe he isn't a good friend if he gets mad at you for not giving him internet points if he didnt deserve it...

Why is this Riot's problem to fix? You basically feel obligated to honor a friend because you're premade with them instead of valuing your honor vote and reserving it for the person who deserved it the most.

Likewise, tell them the same thing. Don't honor each other to attempt to abuse the system, honor people you think deserved the honors. Don't just share them between "bros". Riot intentionally put those premade safeguards in place because this was a problem with the old honor system. If you could just premade and give honors out for free, what was the point of the system that felt like a chore and the votes weren't valuable individually because the quantity of them was all that mattered?

If they deserved the honor, honor them. If they didn't, don't feel pressured to honor them because then your "friendship" IRL would suffer. What kind of weak friends you two are if not honoring them in League puts a strain on such friendship?

They said they balanced it around the assumption that premades would honor themselves...

Riot has literally said, if you honor your premade every time, it wont help you rise in honor. So honoring your duo or premade every single game will actually hinder you and waste your honor. Spend it all on your friend if you like. You're just wasting it.
