Honoring Opponents? Maybe double the honor??

I have been playing League off and on since the release of Vi (season 2? season 3?). And all the while, I have been hoping for something being implemented to be able to honor an opponent. And here is why.

Here is a short list of times I wish I could honor an opponent:

  1. They make a sick play(s), loss or not
  2. They are just cool in in-game chat.
  3. They acknowledge a bad player on MY team, and they will report.

etc.

And maybe offer incentives to have opponents honoring you like you get double the honor points, or maybe you earn an unique Icon or a unique ward skin for getting 6+ honors in one game or something.

I feel that being able to honor the other team and have incentives for it, will get people to be nicer. Even if it only changes ONE person in the whole community, that is one less person in someones game MANY times a year just being nicer because he wants to earn something.

Thoughts?

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I want to be able to honor enemies sometimes too. Obviously the rules would change a little, you wouldn't honor an enemy for teamwork.

I like the idea of a real reward for earning a lot of honors in one game. Though, the unique ward skin should change monthly, yearly, or whatever so there's still incentive after you've done it once. It'll be a really sweet collectible.

Very easily abused (your point 3).

Thanks for the upvotes everyone! I feel like this "idea" would be relatively easy to implement:

  1. Add an additional honor pane for the opponents after victory/defeat screen.
  2. Add proper incentives for honor achievements.

I realize that coding and programming that is a LOT easier than two steps, but with the honor platform that is already in place, it should be relatively easy to code honor for the other team too.

Thanks again![slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Pretty sure they got rid of honouring enemies because the system was easily abused.

Personally, I’m not interested in seeing the return. Opponents can be cool, but I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything by not being able to honour them. Not to mention I don’t think the enemy team being dicks influences my gameplay half as much as when my own team are being dicks, so why should being nice to opponents be so important that you need to offer incentives?

People have got enough issues being nice to their own teams, let’s focus on fixing that before introducing incentives to be nice to the enemies as well lol.

Kind of annoying when people who feed on my team gets honored by enemy team

I second honoring opponents. The only thing better than playing Lux is playing a better Lux.

They had it before where you could honor someone on the enemy team but that was on the last client. Dunno why they ever removed the feature.
