Your system's stick works well enough, but your carrot is too small.

there's definitely suitable inspiration for not getting permabanned, sure. However, there are states you can achieve through bad behavior, such as chat restrictions, 14 day bans, and permanent bans. The best you can hope for from Honor is a shitty capsule that maybe gives you 800 BE at best. There should be some sort of "wow, you're AWESOME! HERE'S A 14 DAY EXP BOOST!!!" or if you've been Honor 5 for a really fucking long time, then why the fuck shouldn't you receive a PERMA-BOOST to exp? you can get PERMANENTLY BANNED. Why the shit isn't there a reward equivalent?

Do you know how nice I would be, and how I wouldn't even consider flaming, if there was a very distant, but still possible PERMANENT EXP BOOST? Jesus h christ, I don't care how small it is, even a 5% boost, I wouldn't even yell at people because I'd want the honor that bad.

Your getting a free game and a chance for free extras and your complaining it's not enough?

the game isn't free, it requires a massive investment of time if you don't put in money. Have you ever heard of the phrase "Tempo e dinero?" Time is money, quite literally. Please do not spread misinformation, it doesn't help anyone. Thank you.

"wow, you're AWESOME!" for achieving basic human decency? That seems silly. And saying you won't yell at people if you got better rewards is ridiculous too.

If you think truly rewarding basic human decency is silly, then I don't know what to say. That's an inherently flawed way of looking at the world. Also, the rewards are currently shitty. i'm asking for rewards that aren't shitty. I don't see how you could possibly have a problem with that.

(you know how I gauge whether or not the honor capsules are any good? people who are honor 5 say so on these boards every day, just about. You know what they've all said, but for two guys over 4 months who got medieval twitch? They all said, except those two dudes, that honor capsules are so terrible and it actually makes them feel kinda bad that they got so little after being honored so many times. That's how I know I'm right.)

Honor capsules have nothing to do with Medieval Twitch. They generally drop 2 key frags and skin shard + maybe a gemstone.

You still need to get your facts straight.

Different rewards cater to different people. Just because you think it's shit doesn't mean everyone agrees with you.

If you said this in the gameplay subboards and not in a tone of voice that is picking an arguement, maybe you'll get more positive responses.

Honor capsules have a significantly higher chance of dropping Medieval Twitch and, IIRC, Grey Warwick, which were both some kind of limited/special/reward like thing when they were released. But this is from memory that is not the best :P

We're going to disagree on that. Basic human decency should be the baseline, absolute minimum of behavior, with rewards when you go above and beyond that. Rewards for that equate to participation trophies and cheapen actual rewards.

Granted, the game is so toxic right now that not telling other people to kill themselves is worth honor, so maybe that's a reflection of where the state of the player community is now, rather than where it should be.

oh, actual rewards like this? https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/jwGOkAj2-honor-capsules-are-a-complete-joke

dude got 90 be and 2 key fragments. thats a hell of an "actual reward."

Imperial PandaaDec 20, 20171 votes

Still better than a single key fragment that could have been dropped instead of the capsule.

Perhaps with the coming honor changes, or will be better.

Kei143Dec 20, 20172 votes

Honor Capsules typically don't drop BE.

You must be confusing them with champion capsules, which you get for leveling up.

If you are going to complain, at least get your facts straight first.

Although maybe not a bad idea to reduce the XP gained from people whom are dishonorable. But that would ultimately increase botting.

what they drop is weaksauce, that's the point. it's not a real incentive.

Mig89Dec 20, 20171 votes

The incentive is not getting banned. In what world aside from prison do you get rewarded for behaving appropriately?

the real world! People are nice to you, they help you out with shit, you can get loans from banks, all sorts of things are rewarded to people who behave appropriately in real life. I can't believe i have ot actually say something so obvious, but here we are....

Mig89Dec 20, 20172 votes

But people dont give you free money for being nice. In league if youre nice to people they tend to be nice back so thats a reward in itself according to your logic. Find me a bank that gives loans to "Nice" people. Sign me up.

Imperial PandaaDec 20, 20171 votes

Do tips count as free money for being nice?

LyndrisDec 21, 20171 votes

Technically, but it could be the quality of service that is being rewarded

Imperial PandaaDec 21, 20171 votes

I suppose that also depends on what field we are talking about getting tipped. Like dealers in casinos.
