The Honor System
Actually just commented on a post about this, which lead to further thoughts. The other player has noticed that most honoring in the game is given to the highest killing person on their team... not always the most useful or helpful.
This isnt quite universal. I've been honored by my entire team, with zero kills. However, yes, for the most part many just honor the one with the highest KDA... not because of the KDA, but because it requires zero thought and they can move on... the system has no real rewards, so why bother thinking about it.
I tend to, due to my in game personality... snarky, constant chatting, and general assolery... honor whoever on my team was fun, chatted back, and stayed cool and enjoyed their game with me. I don't ever bother to notice people's KDA, because I literally don't care as long as I have fun... but I am an odd ball.
All of that said, basically tells me that the honor system is currently lacking in importance for the players. No cost, no benefit (tangible benefits, not icons and borders). No unique skins (unless that changed in the past few months... I was gone awhile), no champions, or boosts... why would it require any considering who you want to honor? You see no reward for your thoughts.
The Unique Skins would be the most appealing to players to pay more attention to the honor system. You get a special skin, for being ranked a certain height in honor (do points, not a player ranking system, to provide goals.). One for Friendliness, one for Team Player, etc. You'd consider, being one of maybe 20,000 with this skin, if you want that guy... or that guy... to be in that 'club' with you.
But, that is just an idea... I would love to hear others!
