People complaining about the Honorable Icons

I've only played since season 3 and already received the Honorable opponent icon AND the friendly teammate icon. I didn't spam premades or anything. Just regular playing and having fun.

People say, "Oh, but I had 500 honor in each category and won't be recognized." Um, no. They'll get every icon, then. Cause I didn't have that much and it looks like I'm going to get all the icons once the disbursement ends.

The icons are just a little something extra for fun. And remember, the honors originally didn't have a reward at all, but Riot decided to randomly give us something for free. If Riot promised since the beginning, a reward for awesome degree of honors, then their complaints would make sense. But there was literally no expectation until they announced it this season.

So what are the complaints really about then? People just like the complain or nah?

They are surprisingly easier to get than expected. Most of us in the Volunteer Program got most of them. They said the top 10% in each category would earn them, but we don't really know what that means; total number? ratio of honors per match? some combination of these or something entirely different?

I don't know about other people who complain but personally I'm disappointed.

Maybe because I was expecting better than simply icons like free chests & keys or even a special border (don't think that'll work but whatever)

This comment inspired me to go check if I got any icons. I got all 5 of them, so yay me I guess. I think I will use the book one.

If there are people complaining about not getting an icon despite having a lot of honors then maybe Riot isn't talking about how many times you were honored but the invisible honor score that dictated if you got a ribbon or not.

I could be wrong cause it has been forever since I cared about it, but I think premade honor was worth less and the more you honored people the less it meant.

ive gotten 4 so far...the generic one a few days ago, then all but Honorable Opponent yesterday, but spaced out by more than an hour each. I've played since Worlds S5. I play quite a bit, but as a supp main, don't think I got all that much honor...prob avg for a decent supp.

SO, who knows. I'll take the bling (or not if I don't get it). Just here for the fun...and maybe SG Soraka .

I received them all at the same time. At first I thought I only got the basic one so I was kind of annoyed. Then I realized that the bell icon in the top right was lit, and received the other 3.

The only one I didn't get was the helpful one :(
