it gives another incentive to bait reportable behavior, which is already a fucking plague that riot seems to not care about. trolls will likely flamebait to try and keep peoples honor level down
its abusable by premades
honors can become public. this is a BAD idea. this is going to cause people salty about a loss to report honored players which could cause the IFS to start seeing positive behavior as toxic if enough people do it.
Jo0o8 votesThat's just, like, your opinion, man.
But seriously:
Trolls gonna troll. As far as incentive to bait flames go, the potential to get somebody banned was already there. I'm not sure that honor decay will appreciably add to that.
Abuse how? If groups of five friends go around acting polite to their opponents and after each game engage in an honor circle-jerk... I don't know who that's hurting. Isn't that just fine?
False reports get thrown out. I've never seen anything to indicate that the system could ever "learn" that good behavior is toxic.

Dank reference, bro.

Well, the system does learn from our reports. If we deem that saying "micky mouse" is toxic AND enough people report it throughout their games, it will become pingged as punishable.
But I really can't see enough people doing false reports enough to make it count.
TrulyBland1 votesAnd even if this situation happens, I doubt Riot is just going to say "Oh well, this is the system we have now. Sucks." The system started out heavily supervised... the machine learning being "abused" by the community to teach it to notice the wrong things would most likely just make Riot revert it to this state until they figure out a fix.
Kei1432 votesit has to get there first.
Seeing how reedit is 2% of the league's active population, I doubt a meme would ever catch on to become a toxic state.
