I tried to be positive before, but usually I felt that I just got crap thrown back at me, and sometimes I'd tilt and become toxic. Therefore I muted everyone for a long time, but it was kinda boring to have no interaction. Now with the new honor system I feel like I am the player I want to be. Thank you.
koshkyra2 votesThe second i see an MIA ping after i get a death, i instantly ping/chat mute the player.
SuicideAll1 votesI don't understand why you get upvoted. Your post doesn't even make sense. For example, what does the new honor system have to do with muting people?
Miror B1 votesYeah, I don't get it either. While it's arguable that the changes to mutes (being able to mute pings) has made the community more bearable, I actually haven't noticed any real change from the old honor system to the new one as most of the games I'm in have the whole mantra of "carries get honored, if you lose then you're often told by everyone to report other players".
Umbral Regent2 votesMaybe because the post isn't about the new Honor system having something to do with muting people, but moreover, because it's someone declaring that, after having difficulty expressing positivity, managed to change gears and become as positive as they wanted to be thanks in some part due to the Honor system?
Which, it's a nice change of pace from people complaining "why'd I get a 14-day ban for trying to take justice into my own hands and flaming flamers back?? I only said 'kys' once, and I meant it as 'keep yourself striving'!", wouldn't you say?
SuicideAll1 votesWhich part of the new honor system changed their behavior? How did the new honor system change their behavior?

I'm chalking this one up to placebo effect. At least until the OP can provide more substance into what they actually like about the new honor system.
Umbral Regent2 votesWell, even the Placebo Effect can get results. And, even beyond that, maybe it's just something they can't readily explain? Either way, it's good that the Honor system has had an effect on them in some way. It's better than the system not having an effect, leaving them eternally salty that they can't be positive.
SuicideAll1 votesSpending lots of time and money only to develop a placebo seems like a waste.
I'm glad their outlook has become more positive. Giving credit to an opaque video game system for changing years of human behavior patterns almost over night, seems like a stretch for me.
Hadfield1 votesAwful post, I know. I spent little time on it. What I mean is that before I had no motivation to be positive in game as I never felt that I got anything out of it. Now that it seems more like a collective effort, I feel motivated to motivate others, and if I do well I can see atleast a small token of appreciation at the end game screen. People seem to be more friendly overall, or atleast less toxic.
