TLDR/Cliff Notes at the bottom

Ok so I have made many lengthy posts in the past about how to improve the game and general feedback and among those many topics was revamping the honor system, I have made a few posts over the years about the pros and cons and submitted different ideas such as a special honor shop with honor points, special honor themed skins and chromas or even special player icons and wards, to special in game emotes much like the mastery emote but with honor crest symbols instead; today I am here to talk about an idea that I formulated based off of others opinions I have seen on the boards and then added my own spin to.

How about we take the honor system and integrate tribunal statistics into it in the form of an overall checklist/report card? So just picture this, a report card style format that shows the good and bad and weighs them to give you a score and by getting certain goals you get exclusive icons, ward skins, chromas, emotes, ip boosts, etc. It would tell you both term and life time statistics and would be done at a set interval (every 3, 4, 6, or 12 months) and would look like this:

*PS: This text editor sucks and after playing with the spacing for half an hour I realize that drawing a graph using spacing and periods and symbols will not save the spacing so now you get this crappy version

player name
join date life time score (points and net) score for this period (Points and net)

Chart divide on two sides left and right, left side is this period right side is lifetime |Honor: Teamwork |Honor: Friendly |Honor: Helpful |Honor: Honorable Opponent
|Reported other players total: |Reports that ended in a player punishment: |(You were) Reported for Harassment: |(You were) Reported for Negative Behavior: |(You were) Reported for etc. |Punishments dealt to you: Bans, restrictions, etc.

  • Percentages are calculated as Period/Life time

-Life time score would show the overall positive and negative point values and their net value -Score for this period shows the overall positive and negative point values and their net, in addition to the overall point contribution compared to the lifetime score: Points this period/Overall lifetime

Now that you have seen the idea, please let me explain why this idea is actually a good idea and will have a positive benefit to the community.

  1. By giving routine feedback players can easily assess their account standing and make adjustments as needed before they all of a sudden get hit with bans which will decrease the amount of people who feel the need to whine on the board about their bans just to make smurfs and ruin the game all over again.

  2. By keeping players engaged on their behavior we can encourage them to focus on positive play over toxic behavior and incentivize them to out do their current best scores

  3. By providing feedback on how far their reports go players can be reassured that Riot listens which will improve company relations with its community, better relations means better game which means less toxicity which means more money spent on said game (Believe me when I say the old tribunal had great success because people could see that their time spent voting was actually listened to, I was part of the old tribunal and greatly miss it)

  4. By showing players what they have been reported for they will know what to work harder on in the future

  5. By listing player's punishment they can see the impact of their actions on themselves and other summoners and will be motivated to reform

Personally I would love to see this report card system mixed in with a personal shop system where positive play can unlock summoner icons and special chromas, but even if that isn't implemented the report card alone would be an amazing first step toward eliminating toxicity.

I would really love for everyone to give their opinions and suggestions, and if I could get even 1 rioter to comment seriously on this it would make my day.

TLDR: By presenting statistics to players of their own accounts on a set basis we can motivate them to set personal goals to improve their behavior and make league a less toxic game to play and cultivate a better relationship between Riot and the community.
