honestly honoring opponent would be more fair and accurate then honoring teammates. With teammates usually honor there duo or that person that had biggest impact to them most recently ( like that support that saved there life or mid laner that caught out the enemy adc that won the game for them.) Honoring an opponent would remove the duo situation while also showing who the enemy thought was the most influential person on team.
It might be your jungler that carried u but because u dont like him, ( legit reason or not) u dont honor him. Might be your support carrying behind the scenes but you just dont notice.

Riot has said that there's no benefit in honoring your premade again and again. I assume that only the first honor counts, perhaps with a cooldown.

people still do it. Maybe they dont know

Dr PoroJul 12, 20178 votes

Yes, most people don't know that because they don't read shit on the website. Those honors are just in vain, though, and only good for the full team honor bonus. Btw, you're not supposed to honor the player with the most impact, but the nicest person. I've honored the biggest feeder in my team occasionally because the rest was flaming them and they stayed chill. When honoring your opponent, you're more likely to look at their gameplay impact because you can't read most of their chat. Perhaps they've been flaming their team while carrying, you'd never know.

I'd still like the option to honor your opponent, though. I love it when I can joke in the ALL chat with my toplane opponent and when they joke back. I'm just saying that your own team's honors are probably more accurate overall, hence why Riot did it this way.

That's just the tilt proof honor right there. I agree, you shouldn't always honor the carry, but instead the one who was the nicest, but sometimes, you should really considering honoring your carry, just because they went through the hard effort of doing it. It's never easy you know.

exactly my thought process. obviously everyone will honor in there own way but for me being nice is an extra and not a necessity. Im probably bias'd but heres my reasoning. Panth top winning his lane is not deserving of honor because thats what should happen. But a panth sacrificing his lead top to snowball his team by ganking other lanes non stop even when his ult is on cd is worth honor because put the team first and did his best to add to teams chances of victory. The 2-5-3 jungler might be nicer and be encouraging but he is still feeding. The 14-2 adc that got his lane camped by panth, took the snowball, and used it to blow up the enemy nexus also is worth of honor since not all adc's are good enough to carry. He might be unappreciative of panth's work but the adc still made a huge impact on the game. Way more then the "nice" jungler. Id rather have a skilled fed person lead the team to victory through effort and shot calling then an average player that was super nice anyday. The goal is to have people that are both

Yep i do it too. And I know its useless.

But honestly I've had several games in row in solo/duo when I just could not honor anyone else. Those three random teammates where often arguing or not playing exactly in a way so that I'd honor them.

SecondAirbaneJul 13, 20171 votes

nah if i have a duo i do it if nobody really made an impact on the game i do it for 2 reasons the honor progress and who the fuck else am i gonna honor if nobody made a real noticable impact?

Shhhh, let the dishonorable continue to believe they cheat the system. It gives them something to do.

But that doesn't actually stop them from doing it. Honestly, I do it too when I play with friends. I want to honor that dude who had the courage to take Taric bot lane, and end up swinging the whole game in our favor with those flash saves, and money ults, but I have to honor my 3-14 Yi friend, because he's gonna honor me.

Just disable friend honoring in premade parties of 2 or 3, and let us have the option to honor opponents as well, so that I can give honors to who deserves it, and not my shitty Yi friend!

Dr PoroJul 13, 20173 votes

I don't see your logic here. If you know that it does absolutely nothing, then why keep doing it? I play a lot of ARAMs with my brother and we rarely honor eachother (only if our entire team wasn't worth an honor at all).

KartagiaJul 14, 20171 votes

Actually, honoring your duo mate for real reason, not just for sake of it, is psychologically very important. This is the reason why only one honor is bad thing. For those who are honorable, the appreciation of honor was enough. For those who aren't, it is not. Now Riot moved system giving something to former to system only aimed to latter.

I have known honoring my duo mate has no effect towards banner, but I do it if he deserves it to show it.

VashtrallJul 13, 20171 votes

sympathy for the enemy? Pathetic.

VdriftJul 12, 20178 votes

I agree. In the old honor system, the best thing was being able to show our opponent respect as honorable opponent. Especially with someone who was evenly matched or simply chatted and chilled as you duel each other. Even when they gave the enemy advice for future game reference. [slayer-jinx-catface]

Dr PoroJul 12, 20177 votes

I think they should put back the old honor method (with the new ones as options + honorable opponent) so that the first honor would count the most, and the others just count a bit. Just now I finished a game where I wanted to honor everyone on my team. It was just such a friendly team but I had to choose one person.

DubshokaJul 13, 20174 votes

I play a crapton of ARAM and I find the lack of honor to give out depressing at times.

I guess as someone who tried to utilize the old honor system I dislike the ability to honor all of my team for multiple reasons or to honor the opposing team for whatever reason.

The rare(semi-rare) games that keep me playing ARAM are ones where I would honestly like to honor all players on both sides. Competitive games with friendly trash talk between teams of appropriate skill make League 100% worthwhile.

I actually like the way they did it. Honoring opponents is sometimes way off of how the team actually got along. For instance, sometimes it takes extreme team pressure for that "star player" to actually join fights with the team, or sometimes they're instead the most toxic of the bunch. I've seen a couple instances where the player with the honorable leaf seemed like a poor choice from the other side, and my guess is that's because the others couldn't refrain from bickering. You miss much of the team's battles by not seeing their chat.

TentaclePartyJul 12, 20173 votes

I really hope at some point the option to do so will be available. I think at some point I read that it might come in the future, but don't take my word for it because my memory is shot. Anyway, sometimes I really wish I could honor a decent opponent who made the game a challenge or was fun to interact with. We'll see though.

Riot said they will include an option to honor the enemy, they just havent added it yet.

(Riot Nakyle says it in the comments)

BLACK REALM GODJul 13, 20172 votes

riot commented on another post about this topic saying they'll add it eventually once they figure out how they want to do it.

more than anything they probably want to avoid people doing things to help the enemies in order to trade honor.

This is a great idea, I could finally receive some honor after I try to carry and my team feeds so hard that they don't wanna honor me lmao

Unfortunately this appears to be the honor rubric for far too many players. Hence why I hope we get honorable opponent back.
Premade? Yes Honor Done No. Continue

Loss? Yes. No honor Done No. Continue

Anyone with Good looking KD? A doesn't count. Yes Honor No Continue.

Anyone that talked a lot. Yes Honor No Continue.

Ok I guess assists will count now. Any support that did some work? Yes. Screw em. No honor. No. Screw em. No honor.
Done.

What about damage and healing and map pressure or being a good tank. Yes. Didn't you read the above. Done. Don't even ask. No. Didn't you read the above? Don't even think about it.

Why would i honor an enemy?

"GG friend you wrecked me and my team." "GG friend i wrecked you and your team." "GG friend, you decided to troll and give me a free win." "GG friend, you spoiled the enemy's position in all chat."

[slayer-jinx-unamused]

This is going to be abused so much. Not to mention, completely go against the goal of the new Honor system. I literally see no valid point as to why would i ever consider an enemy player honorable.

ChuShoeJul 13, 20172 votes

I don't mean to be an uptight optimist, but you my friend are a real Negative Nancy

so what if you destroy them, I'd honor them if they weren't toxic about it in all chat. So what if they destroy you? GG good job, you have more skill than me, and didn't brag about it over /all I doubt people honor trolls as much as you think. There's no reason to, same reason you wouldn't honor a troll on your own team, it ruins the fun for everyone in the game, not just the side getting trolled.

I would be honoring my opponent, as opponents are not my enemies. The fact you cannot understand the difference mean you have never understood or even read Summoner's code. One of the oldest PVP games in the world, Chess, does have opponent, not enemy, as destroying your enemy is not important, but defeating your opponent.

I say gj to enemy team too. It was the way we treated opponents on season 1. It is the way I want opponents treated in the future, but players like you who take this winning so seriously you are flaming, blaming, and hating so deeply you cannot understand your opponent is potential team mate in the future.

This is going to be abused so much. Not to mention, completely go against the goal of the new Honor system. I literally see no valid point as to why would i ever consider an enemy player honorable.

Honorable opponent has been abused way less than false reporting used as tool to win ladder competition by futile attempt to ruin better player in your own team. Current reporting and honor system is abused unlike honorable opponent did. Sad to see how ignorant and hatred-filled younger people are. No wonder why Trump got elected. No wonder.

VashtrallJul 13, 20171 votes

There is no need to honor opponents. People usually only do it when they win, which is fairly stupid.
