So what has changed with honor so far outside of "You Get Stuff"?

I know it hasn't been out long but I'm seeing no change in behavior. I've yet to get a single honor win or lose on both accounts. Most people just skip the honor screen that pops up and don't honor anyone (especially if they lose, which is some salt right there).

I know the purpose of it, I know it hasn't been out long, but it doesn't seem I'm seeing anymore honors than I did before. It really doesn't help that you can only get ONE for some pointless reason. So instead of seeing 2 teamworks and an honorable opponent or something, I see nothing at all. Carried 2 games on my other account with 11+ kills and 2 and then 3 deaths. Not a single honor, not a GG after the game. No one seems to actually care sadly, and again I know it is early, but it is a bummer seeing people not seeming to care much more now than they did before.

Yo! From what I've seen monitoring the system, we're not actually seeing a lot of people skipping the honor screen. It's worth noting, though, that you will only be able to see the honors that you've received. However, if someone on either team receives 3 or more honor,s you'll see it highlighted on the scoreboard.

I think the point is to make people want to try to win and troll less in hopes for honors. Obviously it might not always work out like that, but it is a good start.

Now the stuff that you get has some monetary value, so people will probably try to be nicer. In the previous system there were only ribbons, but now there are tangible rewards like Key Fragments, Skins, and Shards, and they're probably easier to get than ribbons. Hopefully people will be trying to get these rewards and be nicer in the process.

As with any other new system, I think you should wait at least a few days in order to let people get used to new honor. I think Riot aims at encouraging people to not be punished since it lowers your honor level and thus you can't get some rewards, but it's something that will show mid-long term, you can't really expect to just turn a switch on and people magically stop trolling, player perception and culture need to change, and it takes time, the system merely gives rules and direction for it.

Also, you can only give one honor, but you can recieve up to 4 (one from each team member).

As said, wait a few days, maybe a week, and then maybe you'll start seeing some difference

Dw, RIOT alrdy has an incentive in place where if the whole team honors someone at least they all get slightly closer to next honor level, even if they themselves weren't honored.
