Is the honor thing even good?

Enemy Akali. Honor 5. Flair on screen.

"They must be nice!" do I tell myself

Enters in game. Starts losing.

"REKT" "EZZZZ"

Game ends.

"EZ" "EZ" "EZ" "EZ" "EZ"

And yeah, they actually spammed it.

Thoughts? :/

Because the truth is that players actually value gameplay in their team mates moreso than honorable behavior. People are more likely to honor a KDA than the control-tank that legitimately held up against unfavorable odds & provided solid team work & communication.

Toxicity is a meme and has only served to make players feel justified for being thin-skinned tantrum machines at the slightest provocation.

What is that supposed to mean?

I'm from NA and come from Canada.

I value my friend, so I decided to join them in EUW.

In my experience people who play well or carry are the ones who get honored. It goes against what this forum seems to believe- that people would rather play with non toxic feeders than with people who will win them the game.

Actually I see all the time that people would take a toxic good player over someone who's not toxic and just average at best.

Thats definitely how it is in reality, but on this particular forum people like to believe otherwise in their crusades against what they consider to be "toxicity".

Yeah I suppose. I don't see people say that often, though. I see a lot of people hating on toxicity of course, but I don't know if ive seen someone specifically say that they'd rather have a non toxic player who can't carry, over a toxic guy who carries like a beast. But I'm sure a lot of people would say that if asked, and I'm sure people have said it before many times.

That's why I was telling a guy that honor is practically a roll of the dice, unless you're blatantly toxic. People honor for all kinds of different reasons. The akali is probably decent and people honor him for carrying them.

Honor system has some weaknesses and the one you describe is one of them. My advice is the standard: "Mute-Report-Forget". The "Mute" includes the silent (Don't retaliate).

As result of the report players like that might get a punishment and lose that fake honor rating and with the poor honor rating he would get reduced rewards from honor system in future. There isn't really much else to do here.
