A friendly request about the Honor Initiative.

Riot, could you please add an indicator in the new client that TELLS us when a team-mate or player on the opposing team Honors us, so we can try to do the same, provided that their behavior was worthy of it? I've had many times where I was honored by a team-mate or member of the opposing team, and didn't honor them back because I DIDN'T KNOW they were doing it!

Example:

In a recent game, I helped our Janna support and Fiora Top by explaining a number of functions about the game they didn't understand. These players proceeded to honor me after the game, and I didn't know until AFTER I'd left the post-game chat room. I also had a good game, despite the loss, as our opponents also honored me for being a good sport, and a friendly and helpful player for aiding my team-mates. But I didn't honor them back because I didn't know! I felt bad, and had to just react like so:

So an addition like that, if no-one else, I would greatly appreciate it.

Well the honor system is not about "Honor me and I honor you" but about "i want to honor you because you were friendly/xy/...". So if you do not think "well he deservs a honour" by yourself he does not deserve one because he honored you

Honorsystem needs to get a new look at and atleast an option to honor them after the gamelobby . So many times i wanted to honor someone but already clicked quit or another game or it just didnt load.

I disagree with the notion of "honor trading" cause that is not what the system is for or about, or should be about.

But I do agree with being able to honor someone in a recent game where you forgot cause your brain auto pilot you to click the botton to get on with another game as fast as possible.

That is called "Honor Trading" and is not allowed, riot has said if they see where someone rewards that person and they do it back cause they said so, they will not receive the reward for having good behavior and such.

I believe I said in the post "so we can try to do the same, provided that their behavior was worthy of it?" If some player honored me just in the hopes that I'd do it back, rather than for being a good player/good sport or some other form of action worthy of the Honor, then they'll just end up with a whole lot of nothing from me.

And you dont think people would abuse the system "i was just doing it because he did good"

EbonyBladeJ881 votes

Yes, there most likely would be. I myself would try NOT to be one of those people, but I concede that some players would abuse the system. There are people in any system (Game-related or not) who abuse it to get gain. But, with the Honor system of League, what could they get for abusing it? Just the little tags in game-loading screen. It (As far as I know) does not grant IP or RP bonuses. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, BTW.

Any reward they got unfairly yknow? does not matter if its a currency or anything, the tags are shown to be people who really deserved it not abused, and i know some wouldn't but most would trust me. You would be surprised.

You know what? I concede. I'm not going to argue with you about it.
