Honor Update: Losing your Previous Honor Banners

CheapPrincess ·Jun 13, 2017·3 votes·1,754 views

Hello dearest summoners and @riot,

I am really excited about all the new content, changes and updates to the game. However, I am a bit disappointed with a portion of the upcoming honor system... Under the FAQs for the update I found this and I was deeply disheartened.

"What happens to my old honor ribbons?

They're going away because this is a total system overhaul. Think of this like a Galio-level champ rework, just for a system instead.

What about my old Honor points?

Gone too."

You've all been so gracious about including new perks and rewards for the honor system. I LOVE that, but I just wish those of us that have worked so hard to achieve these ribbons AND keep them should get a leg up. One of the reasons I try to stay positive in each of my games is because of my honor badge (yes, I know its a pride thing) but it does it for me. Would you be willing to include a special icon or a leg up for those that have these badges?

I understand its a total overhaul, but I'm just left feeling . Let me know what you all think, maybe I'm just being overly greedy and needy.

Well, m'lady, I believe they said that they'd like for this to be a reset for everyone's accounts. I think this is more for the toxic players than the sportsmanlike players. My theory is that they're trying to dispel some of the stereotypes about League having a toxic community and by doing this, they'll give most players somewhat of a second chance to start over and be honorable.

This is probably also why they want the honor ribbons on your loading screen boarders and in-game honor emotes to be temporary because they'd like for people to consistently strive to attain them by remaining honorable instead of being temporarily "honorable" for a while just to unlock some exclusive skins and then returning to being toxic afterwards.

TL;DR: This isn't about you or other sportsmanlike players. This is about giving the toxic players a chance to redeem themselves while improving the overall image of the League of Legends community.

I get that, and I do hope that this fixes some of the negativity within the community. I just feel that individuals that have followed the summoners code and have been honorable over the last few seasons should be acknowledged in some way.

Don't get me wrong, a fresh start allows for individuals to really be immersed and rebuild themselves to be more positive BUT what about those that go above and beyond? I worked my lil booty off to stay as positive as possible in games, and I rarely see any honor badges anymore. I know I should be thinking about the greater good but I'm stuck here being petty about something that just left a bad taste in my mouth. And I guess my reward is being one of the few that have badges currently.

I appreciate the feed back. I'm still digesting my thoughts on this. summoner 13

I saw a post where someone recommended a summoner icon be distributed to people who have been consistently honorable and I think that's a pretty good idea.

I know that feel. I've received thousands of honors and I've even had honor badges on my account a few times before I messed up and lost them a few years ago for being a (formerly) toxic Zed main. If you feel that strongly about it, I recommend you reach out to the Player Behavior Team and see if they have anything planned for people who currently have honor badges. Good luck.

What about for those who have had them but don't anymore cause people really stopped heavily honoring each other? It wouldn't be fair to give it to only people that have them, so I don't think they need to give out anything to anyone. The new system will come with plenty of new content and has a much better set up.
