The new honor is cool but, why can I only honor one person?

Title^

to me ive always hated systems that make me pick whose the "best" teammate on my team when i want to honor somebody, it seems like a fucking cheap shot nut kick, when my entire team is amazing, but I can only give one person recognition for it.

ALSO these new honor categories are stupid as shit.

"great shotcalling, stayed cool, and GG<3"

how the fuck can I even honor somebody based on those categories? sure shotcalling would be nice TO BE ADDED ALONG THE EXISITING ONES, but stayed cool? so what im supposed to honor some random team mate who doesnt talk.. or? just plays and doesnt rage... or what?

and what in the flipping hippopotamus is GG<3 supposed to be. so if we win, and it was a gg, because my team wasnt full of the sewage of zaun, and devil teemos, and I want to give them a GG<3 honor, I can only give it to one person, HOW DO I CHOOSE?.

Banter aside TLDR: you call this a fucking better honor system? cons(because there are no pros) -confusing honor categories -removed banners that always stay on -can only honor one person rather than your entire team/enemy team -new banners only stay for one game -no way of knowing if the enemy or friendly team members are honorable players anymore (because it took a shit ton of work to get a banner before now)

The new Honor system is meant to promote Good Behavior, In order to do that rewards such as banners and Key Fragments are needed. League is a fairly toxic game and unfortunately, we're at a point where riot has to give Incentives to being a Decent human being. You can't honor everybody because it would be used to manipulate the rewards. Regarding your prediction that Duo's will just keep honoring each other, According to the Honor FAQ, You will receive more Honor if someone Random honors you rather than a friend. They also noted that measures are in place to track those abusing the Honor system.

As far as borders go, Badges with the current system are next to impossible to get, so much so that I've seen maybe 1-2 in the past 2 years. I have around 1k total Honor with no infractions on my account for Toxicity (By that I mean I've never been punished), it seems to me that unless you act overwhelming positive and happy all the time like some mindless robot, you won't ever receive a border/badge. There's a line between making something hard to get and just going overkill, that's the current system. Also, As you already said Banners stay for one game, so do you really think people are going to grind like crazy just so they get a banner for one single game?

I don't love or hate the new Honor Catagories, But I also didn't think the old ones were so great either. Teamwork and Helpful are practically the same things, How can someone be helpful yet display no Teamwork? "Helpful" is apparently meant to be used when someone teaches/guides you through the league, Which seems fairly unlikely these days so I don't view it that way. It seems to me like you're not only not giving this new system much of a chance but you're making assumptions about the system before its released.

Yeah you're right actually.

I think people would just spam honors on each other if you could honor the entire team. Since there are tangible rewards, they'd want to make them earned. Right?

Is the new honor system here yet?

I think they should let you honor more than one person, but I think that the "staying cool" honor is on-point, since it will prevent a lot of people to stop flamming or being negative. IDK what GG <3 means lol

Agreed. The new system feels very half-assed, and unrewarding.

I don't feel like you deserve to be honored from the tone of the post.
