How to Increase Honor
I’m honor level 5; I’m not perfect either. I hit honor 3 on my smurf shortly after. Have i flamed? Hell yeah I have; i just do it so far apart that by the time I had a bad day; my honor has fixed itself. I can also be somewhat toxic. Firstly, starting off in champ select with pessimism is going to give your team mate a bad rap ok you, first impressions are key.
In champ select try to create a positive experience. Be flexible, and be honest. Maybe it’s not a good idea to first time a champion in solo duo or maybe somebody in blind pick REALLY wanted to play something, take the initiative and help them out.
Try supporting every once in a while; I’ve found people in norms enjoy when their support dies for them or sticks by them. Even if you hate support because you’re an amazing KDA player, you can literally make someone else’s day by helping them get fed and making them feel good even if they’re not that great at ADC.
Try not to honor your premade. This is the biggest mistake I see all the time. Duo’s or flex squads honoring each other. First of all you get more rep for honoring a random than you would your home boy. “I don’t like honoring my team mate whether they’re my buddy or not.” Ok well; if you can’t find one positive thing about anyone in the game you just played and just skip the honor process, don’t expect your honor to come up. If every player honors someone everyone’s honor level goes up at the end of the game and it even says that. So go ahead, be selfish about your honors.
ARAMS; sometimes it’s hard for people to see your full potential out on the rift but maybe you play mechanically better in a constant 5v5 battle. What if you have a really good strategic skill on each champion that some players were shocked to see? You can easily grab 3 honors on arams with the correct champions. Besides if you’re grinding for honor; a 15 minute aram allows you to meet a lot of new players.
IGNORE ALL CHAT/TEAM CHAT; you could totally respond to that asshat who keeps talking smack and start responding and tilt the rest of your team; OR you could keep your honor and weigh out the consequences of your outburst to later situations like your end of the season. Seriously do you know how many times I was about to type something super toxic out and just backspaced.
DONT TYPE TO YOUR FRIEND WITH RANDOMS IN THE LOBBY; ok seriously. If I call my best girl friend a bi—- or something else that we find playful, some asshole might not know you’re joking or does know you’re joking but really wants to report you anyway because maybe you had a bad jungle game. Now you have verbal abuse on your record.
TRY NOT TO GET REPORTED ON PURPOSE: tbh I’ve seen people report for really really dumb reasons. Not verbal abuse or afk; just because you took a blue buff they were “entitled too” or you didn’t “gank enough” so now you’re a bad player. Oh you had a bad game or trying a new champion? Intentionally feeding report. See now imagine adding those times you don’t know someone reported you along with the times you actually knew you would get in trouble, your honor level will be pretty low or getting lower right?
**TYPE HINTS FOr YOUR TEAM **; I’ve seen people give great shotcall to NON TOXIC people who take initiative and say; it’s a good idea to go baron now or maybe death Bush cheese or even saying; “enemy jungle red is up; too watch out for gank” or “jg do you need me to rotate to scuttle.” Honestly little stuff like that how a long way; you’d be surprised. I have kept honor level 5 for months now just consider most of these things.
(Lots of typos I did this really late I’ll fix it tomorrow)
