From an Honor Ribbon player: Suggestions to riot on how to increase teamwork and lower toxicity

1.The honor ribbon was a great first step in rewarding positive players, but i feel like there needs to be a little more I know from personal experience having an honor ribbon can be a source of pride, and can be extremely helpful in a game lobby when you want to try out off meta picks. I fine that having the honor ribbon gives players a reason to have faith when you say you think the pick is really going to work, and that your not going to feed and/or troll. And while it's a very nice reward for positive players, i don't think it goes far enough to incentivize players to change their behavior. So the challenge is how do you increase the reward without making it so much to the point where players start giving each other honor points just to get rewards even if their in game play was not worthy of an honor point. My solution is create a new ward skin that would have letters like the riot ward skin, but say teamwork with the word team stacking on top of work like such team work This ward skin would be available only when you have an honor ribbon, meaning that to get it you have to earn an honor ribbon, but if you then lose your honor ribbon the ward skin becomes unavailable. I think this would be a really great addition to rewards for positive players, without going overboard and ruining the whole system.

2.Create a modified team builder for ranked This would be much harder to do and time consuming but i think it would work really well. It would work like so: A player ranks the 5 positions in order of which they want to play for instance 1. support ( :D ) 2. top 3. jungle 4. adc 5. mid. Then using a tiering system (which would try to give every player their highest priority position) get matched with 4 other players (plus the 5 other players from the other team) and assigned a position which would be written out below each players summoner name. They would then proceed with the regular pick and ban phase. This game mode would also have increased penalties for dodging que and trolling. I think having this would really lower toxicity because with players already assigned a role their would be no need to argue of this.

3.Lastly make it so players who have receive 3 day bans or longer can not play in the upcoming special game mode. Thanks for reading, and am looking forward to feedback :)
