The mod Chermog said that on more than one occasion. Admittedly, I do find this mod and his claims questionable
I'd appreciate links, but it is ultimately understandable that the forum mods (who in no way perfectly encapsulate or represent Riot) would find their own takeaway or additional reasons for stuff like this.
Which is why the "one man only" system needs to stop. I'm not saying we should be able to go or every last player I see, but trying to get your honor to a higher level isn't even a grind right now. You have to be honorable and have a pretty k/d/a.
Here's the thing, though - back during the old Honor system, Honors were scarcely given out, because players had no reason to give them, and there were way too many players per game to honor, so it was just a hassle sorting out who you wanted to honor and who you didn't care to.
Since the Honor rework, I've been seeing tons more honors being given out than I did with old Honor. And I've even received Honors for just being Honorable - I could do shit, and apparently, people still found me worth honoring.
Clearly, the "one man only" system works, if people are seeing good reason to actually give their one Honor to somebody. You really don't give any solid reasoning as to why the current "One Honor" thing doesn't work - and, no, the fact that some people will just honor the carry isn't a valid reason. The "GG <3" Honor is pretty widely-encompassing.
That's not how it was intended to work, but that's what happens. You have to be the MVP and be chill. If you were chill, helpful,.and encouraging, you're not getting any honors because you didn't carry. Sucks to be you.
Just because you see this doesn't mean everyone else sees it. Like I said, I've seen quite a number of cases that don't fall in line with "everyone just honors the carry". I wouldn't doubt other boards members have seen their fair variety of Honors, too.
Let's hope they're telling the truth.
They are. While I personally trust all of Riot, I can safely say that their Player Behavior team is the absolute most likely to tell us the truth and deliver on it. Gameplay has to stamp any upcoming work with "TENTATIVE: MAY NOT BE FINAL.", though they will tell us of their explorations into certain things, and Story, Art, & Sound has to step behind a veil of mystery and uncertainty to keep people looking for more.
But the Player Behavior team has pretty much no reason to tell us they're doing something and then not deliver - they don't need to be vague for mystery's sake, or provide us with snapshots of things that may not even come to pass - if they say they're working on something, you can bet your ass they're working on it.
Not to mention we did recently get pre- and post-game chat logs in reform cards, which they've also mentioned they've been looking to do for a while. Take that extra tidbit as you will.
