I see people all the time that i give honor too, when i think they were really useful to the team, or very nice and respectful, but i cant recall the last time someone did so for me. I'm not saying i should be honored or deserve it, i just think its weird that in at least the last month of playing daily i haven't gotten a single honor
NiamhNyx2 votesIm pretty sure it has to do with the fact its used for almost nothing and not many people remember it exists.
AeroWaffle2 votesLack of incentive to honor someone
Lexyy2 votesIt's useless, you don't get anything out of it.
RookPusher1 votesLOL. My god you are going to make a great partner.
Dianna Leveret2 votesPeople say you don't get anything out of it, when in fact you do - Seeing the small window pop up after a game and reading that i was honored, gives me a better mindset, positive outlook on things and somewhat refreshes me and motivates me to start the next game. It is extremely helpful after a loss - where you see honorable opponent or even teamwork, which totally erases the bitterness for me.
I find it puzzling, that players easily remember the report function exists and report people for the stupidest things, but they don't honor players who really deserved it and gave their all for the team/game. To me it is an indicator of how toxic and uncaring the community has become and it is not a happening to LoL only. It feel as if humanity just became increasingly more arrogant and cold in the recent years - probably because life became somewhat harder. It feels as if they don't play to have fun, but to relieve their stress by yelling and swearing at random people.
Overall, it is a nice system and I don't even care about the ribbons, because even a single honor per day could be enough to brighten your mood. At least it does for me. Also I tend to give teamwork to players who obviously carried or were overall good teammates. I also honor opponents if they are friendly in post game lobby and don't complain about their loss or who don't brag about their win.
Chønklord1 votesWhen you are a nice and positive person in chat, and helpful (and actually win the game), people still do honor you. I get them once in a while, when I can be bothered to congratulate my teammates for doing stuff.
Chønklord2 votesHonestly I think they need to overhaul the honor system, and maybe include DIShonor (if someone feeds or is toxic, you get to sort of "downvote" them end of game). They should make honor system more prominent, and maybe give it some tiers/classes (like the mastery emotes), and make them PERMANENT if you have a certain number of honors. like 30 honors gets you one of the flag borders in loading screen, but if you lose honor from being toxic you lose the border.
CrimsonReaps1 votesThis sounds like an amazing idea, I'd love to see it in league someday.
Monterey1 votesWhat stops people from just down-voting you then every time you have a bad game? Or people down-voting just because they don't like you? What about the toxic bastards that would down-vote when they're the cancer? Not a good idea.
CrazyBear19871 votesI hear what you're saying, and i agree.
it's only for self-gratification, aside from that it's meaningless and a failed attempt at Riot in trying to reward good behavior.
I can't remember the last time i saw an honor badge on anyone higher than bronze
There is no reason to build it up too, currently it decays faster than you receiving one.
There isn't a proper Honor tier, Good Teammate, Excellent teammate etc
No reward for honoring, nor any honor bonus's in fear of abuse or troll
so really there is no point, it's a dead system abandoned by Riot for other more important features.
Packun Flower1 votesThe Honer system doesn't do anything anymore. The ribbon system has long since been abandoned by Riot, its not possible to earn them anymore so the system itself literally does nothing aside from telling someone "Hey, good job"
With that said I still do honer if my team plays well and are very helpful and friendly throughout the match and I honer opponents if they are friendly and complement good plays back. I will NOT however honer an opponent who is extremely good but also extremely bad mannered. This was the case with a Riven player I fought against recently. A one trick main who did very well in lane but was extremely bad mannered about their skill (Flashing mastery emote on every kill, Dancing on corpses, tilt provoking text every kill) etc etc. At the end of the match i explained to them why I wasn't honoring them in hope that they might improve their attitude towards their opponents in later games, but I doubt they will.
To me, skill doesn't get you honer from me, making the game friendly and fun and most importantly working as a team does.
Hydroxlic1 votesI usually honor my whole team when we win.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesThe system doesn't do anything, so there isn't much of a point.
grug1 votesego problems
everybody thinks they carried
not many people are grateful to just have an awesome game.
Worst Kench NA1 votesI forget it exists most of the time honestly. There's been plenty of games where I feel someone deserved it but I'd already exited the post match screen and forgot to do so.
woodvsmurph1 votesBecause most people are selfish and blind. And many lack understanding of individual player contribution - not only inflating their own, but also underestimating their teammates' contributions. Additionally, people want to get to the next game. I, like you, try to honor teammates who played really well or were super positive and encouraging to others. If it was a bad match and they played decently and showed teamwork, I do the same even if their play was just par for what it should be.
RookPusher1 votesCan't help ya. I do it every game.
It all depends on who you're playing with/against. Some games you'll come across people who will honor others and other games it's the exact opposite.
