Can someone define riot's version of honorable?

Like the title says I want a clear answer on what the "riot" definition of honor is. Is it being a sportsmanlike player in majority of your games with occasional marks here and there? Or is it defined by how you react in bad games? If it's the latter then how exactly is it measured in said bad games?

Open for discussion. Just curious as to what answers I receive.

I'd say this would be a solid working definition:

  • A player who always or almost always exhibits good sportsmanship.
  • A player who supports, encourages, inspires, and assists his/her teammates, and one who knows when to stop engaging when that behavior is not appreciated.
  • A player who is respectful of his/her opponents, even if they are not respectful of him/her.
  • A player who plays to win with the team, and is willing to play through adversity until a surrender occurs or a nexus falls.

Riot basically says what they think is honorable based on the things they've listed in the honor screen: Staying calm, Shot calling, Being friendly.

I think it basically is this.

Don't type shit to others that is not praises. Don't advice people unless you are asked to. Don't point out your teammates errors ever.

  1. No mean words
  2. No inting/trolling/otherwise griefing

Anything anyone else says is bullshit. You can get to honor 5 just by playing, not talking, and honoring a random teammate at the end of every game. Nobody honors for a good convo.

If you say any exceptionally mean words (slurs, regardless of context or ending with an -a instead of -er; acronyms that encourage suicide, regardless of context; etc.) you get an instant 14day or perma

The general answer is, both. Riot's definition of Honor is both being sportsmanlike in general, and keeping your composure even in bad games - though, that's part and parcel with sportsmanlike behavior.

The Summoner's Code is a pretty decent example of what Riot expects out of their players. I'd personally like to highlight 4/6 of the Summoner's Code as most noteworthy;

Play as a team, win as a team! A coordinated team is extremely difficult to take down. No matter how hard you feel like you’re carrying individually, blaming others and refusing to co-operate with teammates gives your opponent an advantage.

Don't rage, blame, or tear people down. We’ve all had tough games where we fell behind, got camped super hard or missed an easy smite, only to get flamed in chat. Avoid making others feel that same way and report the ones who do.

Never feed intentionally and don't give up the fight! Seeking revenge on your own team by intentionally feeding and helping the opposing team does not promote fair play. Keep a cool head if you fall behind, don't give up and always do your best.

Lead the way for newbies, be helpful. Never forget the excitement you felt when you first set foot on the Rift. Don't mock newbies who are still learning the ropes or urge them to give up on League. Instead offer a hand when they stumble.

riot's perfect most honorable player is that weird kid sitting in the back of the class who never talks to anyone and writes the names of anyone he thinks is misbehaving in a little notebook. then at the end of each period he turns his notebook in to the principal and moves on to the next class.

For Rito it is, that you say always only positive things, or nothing at all.

If you see trolls inters you just accept your faith, and report at the end. Always try to win the game, no matter what. Well, basically this.
