Coaching Game Mode for Honor

a F R 0 G·Aug 31, 2018·4 votes·3,158 views

The honor system isn't polished, and toxic players are still running rampant. What do you think about a coaching gamemode where new players can get on voice comms with a player who wants to reform from dishonorable account status, or just to gain honor. The experienced player will spectate and actually coach a live game of the newbie playing with and against other pairs. After the game the coach receives a rating from the new player that can be used in aggregate to gain honor.

Would this help promote community while reducing toxicity? It could also make the transition easier for new players to improve at the game, as well as test the knowledge of experienced players.

I think the idea is really really rough around the edges, but I love the essence of it. I have often wondered why Riot doesn't do more to develop coaching, mentorship, and overall opportunities to learn the game. I love this idea of a mode.

It won't reduce toxicity, but I think it's a good idea to have the toxics do some community service.

Yeah but what's the point of playing a video game? What makes it fun? Is it the same for you as it is for everyone? Do people find different aspects of the game more fun than others? Do some people enjoy grinding and gaining things like BE or honor or ranks? Maybe just the fact that something is available, makes some people want to achieve that? (Like honor or champs they will probably never play). Open your mind a bit outside of your own wants and needs. People are complex and unique.
