Promoting Positive Players

I just had a thought come to me after a game I recently played.

There are people out there that say that this community is toxic, and that is only because of the actions of a few people actually verbally abusing their teammates. Like many other's, this has happened to me. I wasn't having a good game, so I left my lane because my support was talking me down to the dirt. I helped where I could and towards the end I ended up doing okay. Anyways the whole point of this discussion is this:

What if we had another way to promote positive behavior and people who reinforce it, and stand up for others in a sense? Then I thought, "What if you could report positive behavior?" Much like you can report negative individuals now, except if someone is reported for positivity they get a little incentive or reward. No matter if its just blue/orange essence, or bigger things like skin shards. It could in a sense scale as this individual gets reported more and more for being a rather refreshing and positive influence on the game. I just feel we need something a little more consistent/rewarding then the honor system right now. Reporting a person for being positive could also have the option of sending a personal message to that individual, (anonymously or not) with kind words of praise like you would add additional comments if you reported someone. I would love to hear other peoples thoughts.

One can never underestimate the power of words, both good or bad. Because when you're being verbally bullied it effects not only how you play, but how you feel at that moment. Back to the good part, well some warming message from a (un)known source could just help brighten someones day. As William Shakespeare said "Love all, Trust a few, Do wrong to none."

Just food for thought.

i think the honor system basically does that but it would be nice if we could forge excessive key fragments into chests...also the fact they're making clash and ranked rewards have an honor requirement is another way to try and get players to be and stay more positive

This is a good idea. The current system isn't great, you can't see your progress really and it has very low interactivity because you only can give 1 honor per game.

The best player behavior system I ever played in was set up so you could honor all players on both teams. The more you honored and got honored the better prizes you would get. If you got 8 or 9 honors and you gave out a some honors as well you would even have a chance to unlock a champs/skins. This system was so much fun, and even exciting because you could win really good content. It definitely encouraged good player behavior. Although the community was not perfect it was much better than what I have ever seen in LOL.

I do think the honor system needs to be changed, it feels like you only honor who you think was the MVP for a game even though (lets say support) helps alot in team fights and is able to keep the team alive but the Mid gets a few double kills, some triples, 2 quadra, and a pentakill, But the one keeping said mid alive gets nothing in the end it feels.

I would rather just nothing be done to fix the negativity till the runesystem has been reverted, the state of the game is why shit got more toxic.
