Why can't we view other players honor?

And why is the emblem still displayed in profiles?

Personally I use it to gauge whether or not the player is likely to tilt in a match. Especially with Clash around the corner, I'd like to have a general idea on how well a recruit will synergize with my team.

This is why you cannot view other players' honor.

Same reason they don't show people's ping anymore I'd imagine

No idea it might be to prevent shaming, riot also isn't able to give you information about another player's punishment or his account status, and the honor level can be related to previous punishment. ( basically if you're able to see that someone did go from honor 4 to 0 you know he got punished, which is someone you're not supposed to know. )

But really you won't get a general idea of someone until you played at least a few games together, and at least a few very bad games where the tilt probability is high. I sometimes duo with strangers, it often starts by a great game we did together and from that we might win a few other games, but from time to time one of those duo partners will get extremely toxic/mad and so on because a game isn't going in the good direction, it might not be the first bad game, but some people are really impacted by loss streaks.

Anyway, play with them, and more importantly play loosing streaks with them.

"Why can't we view other players honor?" Because it is no one else's business.

"And why is the emblem still displayed in profiles?" The spot is. Because this satisfies the conditions with no work and no failure required.

"Personally I use it to gauge whether or not the player is likely to tilt in a match." That is not an effective strategy because tilt has nothing to do with that. People tend not to understand tilt (right, twitch chat?) and come to wrong ideas.

"Especially with Clash around the corner, I'd like to have a general idea on how well a recruit will synergize with my team." Sorry, but that's not something that is going to be numerically quantified without any interaction with the team

Edit: Cool, Tantram confirmed. +1 pt. for me.

You should be able to see it from people in your friendlist, but not from everyone.

Else it would just be camp the honor level 0 every game.

As for Clash, I believe you have to be Honor Level 2 anyway to play.
