Honor doesn't feel earned

I was so hyped to get my honor flair thing but tbh it doesn't even feel like I earned it. Whenever I saw old honor banners in champ select and in the loading screen I thought "wow this must be one honorable person" and they usually were hella honorable. Now it just feels like some random person honor'd you even tho ya did nothing and there's your flair.

It only lasting one game and not showing up in champion select is also pretty lame

The old honour ribbons were mostly either:

  1. you played a metric ton of AI games to farm honours or
  2. You were a streamer/Rioter so people honoured you.

I think the new system is much more realistic.

That's because it's not, lol.

It's like a participation ribbon, from my understanding/what everyone has been reporting...

We all know how much millennials love participation ribbons ;p

Sometimes it happens. I play a bunch of ARAM games and don't usually type, but still end up getting the "Tilt Proof" honor. I always sit there and think "How do you know I wasn't tilted?"

I am honor level 3 and I mostly honor people for either carrying or being funny/nice.

With that being said, I can say that the previous honor system was, at first, very easy to get a loading screen flair on. Then, once people started complaining about how easy it was, Riot made it much harder to get. At that point, it was near impossible to get the honor flair no matter what.

I feel like this is the middle ground. You get honor from people not for being an honorable person, but for not ruining their game. And that's how I think it should be. You get rewarded for, at the very least, not making the game a horrible experience for people. With that being said, I have yet to see someone reach honor level 4 yet. I'd imagine it requires much more consistency.

I agree. I had a ribbon before-hand. I never get angry in league and am generally supportive. I notice that normally the person who carried the game will get the honors. Basically because they copied the overwatch system but called it "honor" that's what it feels like.

Yeah I get honored for carrying, but not when I'm chill and non-tilted or make great shotcalls.
