Viewing other players Honor

Bay B··1 votes·403 views

Is the reason we can't view other players Honor because Riot thinks players would dodge/be toxic to lower Honor players???

Realize if that happened, the players criticizing would have their Honors lowered, meaning eventually only honorable players would have high Honor.

This means that the lower Honor players will either realize they're toxic and gain Honor, or remain toxic and stay at a lower Honor.

Everything would even out.

reason why you can't see them? Cos they haven't implemented it yet.

They gave us the bare minimum features right now, we'll give them feedback on what we want and they can prioritize their time according to what we want.

~~You are wrong, KEI143. ~~ The privacy of Honor was** intended **by Riot.

For now, this is intended. We wouldn't want people flaming others for having a lower honor level. We're tossing around some ideas on making certain honor levels viewable though!

actually, we are both right/wrong.

I just went through the Q&A again:

Currently a bug where you can't see other's honor level 2+, they also don't want others harassing players with honor 1-.

The spot on other's profiles not showing honor rank is a current bug. In the future, you should expect to see the honor level of anyone above level 2 on their profiles.

The different honor categories don't have different weights currently, but we want to tie them into more meaningful features in the future.

not fully implemented is true, but that was a response on why you can't honor enemy.

Why ship out, what is essentially, a beta version without being able to honor opponents as well as other team mates and then make changes over the next year? You could have had everything in the final product and then released it

The way we like developing software at Riot is to ship what's called a "minimum viable product", then improve on it over time. This allows is to quickly respond to feedback from you all and make faster, smaller iteration loops.

Thanks for the info, I'm surprised there are multiple/different responses from the Riot team... Riot has some communication failure.

Nice theory but fails in practice. I get honor maybe 5% of games. Doesn't matter how regularly I get camped by the enemy jungler and still go even or win lane despite getting no help from my team. Doesn't matter if I'm a support who salvaged a losing lane, got mid so fed they carry the game, and set up the perfect 5 for 1 teamfights at cost of my life. Doesn't matter if I am the only one who didn't feed and has a positive kda and got map objectives while everyone else got nothing and we lose the game only having killed 1 tower (which I solo killed) and I do the most damage in teamfights while also tanking 4 fed enemies for my team. Nobody gives honor. Someone on the team ints half the game, you sacrifice your lead to get them back to even, you go out of your way to help everyone else, you speak the truth even when it hurts but also encourage good plays by teammates and give them recognition, and you get nothing. Not a single honor. I've maybe gotten 2 instances of 2+ honor in a game. And one of them I went like 11/1/7 and hard carried - getting a losing midlane fed, snowballing an even bot lane, and getting my jungler crazy ahead. All while having been camped by a fed kat and enemy jungler for most of the laning phase and getting maybe 2 friendly ganks. Just because you don't have a ton of people giving you honor doesn't mean you don't deserve honor; just because you have a ton of honor doesn't mean you were deserving of it or the ONLY one deserving of it. Like that 11/1/7 toplane game I mentioned. I told my support she was the real mvp. Because she was the one teammate besides myself who ALWAYS put the TEAM first - sacrificing herself multiple times to save other people who may or may not have put themselves in stupid situations. If not for her, the game would have been a lot closer and potentially would have flipped against us because jg, mid, and bot got arrogant and fed away a ton of kills and objectives and delayed grouping to break the enemy base. All three threw multiple times, but thanks to janna and me getting them fed also had epic moments which deserved some recognition. Like a squishy jungler diving in with me to clean up a 2v3 and shut down fed enemies early/mid game when our mid was still behind. I say this not to highlight myself, but to show that many people can deserve some honor, yet not get any official recognition for their performance. And that is why your proposal fails in practice. That others can do half of what I did in this game and regularly get 1-3 honor while I perform better than them yet go unnoticed... That the janna in this game could play so selflessly and yet get only 1 honor and our jg, mid, or adc got an honor while performing much less amazingly than her...
