would you honor a good player if he trash talks a bit?

like if you play janna support, you are alone bot, 3 enemys dive you and you survive and get a triple kill and you write in all chat "OH MY GOD THE JANNA CARRY IM SO FUCKING GOOOOOOOOD!!!!" more meant as a joke.

would you still honor this person if overall they dont say much but play really well?

No. Honor is for those who actually have honor, who are carrying the game and are cool(tilt proof). For me, honoring someone is for those who get my respect, and respect me back. If I play adc(my secondary main role) and my support is not only doing a good job securing the kills, turret, objectives and keeping us healthy with unlimited amount of Mc Donalds food, but also if they are kind and patient if I make mistakes. If they are at least one of the mentioned things above, I will almost ALWAYS honor them, because they truly deserve it. If I play toplane and my jungler helps me, wether we both succeed or fail and both keep our cool knowing we can try again and help each other even after the laning phase is over, doing amazing outplays? I'd honor them. If we can an actual CHILL Vayne who acts awesome which happens to 1 out of 10 billion % and carries the game like a sistah to us all? HONOR! Oh yeah and if mid lane doesn't feed they get my salty Cup-Yay emote. Everyone get's it! Hooray! [sg-kiko]

Short answer, no.

Bragging in all-chat is pretty arrogant behavior and playing well is no saving grace. I'd rather honor someone who lost lane, but didn't complain, or someone who apologized after messing up.

Better to trash talk and be competent than be positive and a liability. And that's for everything in life.

remakoro5/4/2018, 10:00:58 AM5 votes

Yes. Even if he trashtalked A LOT. If he deserved that honor i will. If he set up good mood with his trash talking i will honor him as well. Damn i miss people doing that.

I don't honor Janna players anyway, ever.

I honor people who are humble. That support who was auto filled support and are clueless? I’ll honor him and give him some tips. Trash talk isn’t a bad thing as long as you don’t use it as an excuse to just go off on a guy, but it’s not a very humble thing.

The moment someone flames another teammate, or bms the enemy team in all chat they immediately lose any chance of me honoring them, even if they were the reason we won. Simply said, they don't deserve the honor for bring dishonorable.

Depends if there was anyone else worthy of honors.

KVbqbFsC8e5/4/2018, 10:37:36 AM3 votes

Of course. I couldn't care less about what people say in chat. It doesn't matter to me.

hhaavviikk5/4/2018, 11:24:46 AM3 votes

acting like a twat isn't honorable so no

Gabresol5/4/2018, 2:19:55 PM3 votes

Honor is meant for player it is overall enjoyable to play with. I do not know about others, but I am not so desperate for winning that I would prefer a trashtalking, insulting and racist Yasuo Master-Smurf over a player who even if they loose lane, keep going without epxressing their frustration in all-chat like a 4 year old in Kindergarten...

I do not enjoy playing with trashtalking idiots, no matter how well they play, so no, I do not honor them

Relia Fortune5/4/2018, 5:03:57 PM3 votes

I typically only honor my supports, so yes.

You can trash talk as long as you're good.

Zombie Gerbil5/5/2018, 1:54:30 AM2 votes

No, I don't give honor to those kinds of people. I don't honor anyone who doesn't show humility, considerations, understanding, and tilt-proof. I don't give honor to those who don't show respect to neither ally nor enemies. Even if it means getting into the head of the enemy to make them play worse, I don't give honor those just because they carry. Honor to me is a unique reward that I give out to those who plays the game to my standards of attitudes. Anything that gives the slightest sense of negativity or arrogance doesn't get the reward.

But just because someone doesn't type doesn't mean they can't meet my standards. Plenty of players out there met my standards of showing up on pings, responding to communication when the needs are met, helped their team regardless of the circumstances, and literally played to win have also earned my reward. I don't mind players using emote spams, masteries, or taunts to play mind games with the enemies, because they're game mechanics. It's those who type with arrogance, negativity, and disrespect who doesn't earn honor.

Reaper55995/4/2018, 5:23:25 PM2 votes

Depends on the level of trash talk.

For example, lets say they were playing Yorick and split pushing, since thats what Yorick does best, and they ended up getting a triple kill by themselves and said in all chat something like "Okay then", I would still honour them. Even in a case when they steal dragon and say something like "Thanks for the leash", I would probably still toss them an honour if they did well.

But if its consistant, like after every kill they type "?" in all chat, or if they get that same triple kill and type "Wow you guys suck" in all chat, then I wouldn't honour them at all/

i could honor him for great shotcalling. Honestly if you can't even honor someone for great shotcalling when getting a triple because he bmed a little in all chat you have dick issues

I most like would honor the Janna if she was positive experience for the team with her behavior (gameplay skill is not required, even though I admit it helps). I would not see the trash talk from all-chat, since I do not listen to it. I consider all-chat to be for enemy propaganda and I don't see why players would want to see it. If I would see the message, I would most likely consider that message itself positive enough and not hold it against Janna, at least much. I might not give her extra points for that though - it is still propaganda, even though it is relatively successful and agreeable in form. I keep all-chat turned off for a reason.

saltran5/4/2018, 10:28:18 AM1 votes

It depends of what he did on the game and what he said on /all because "trashtalk" is a bit generic.

But most times not.

would i honor a good player which is actually bad? hmmm, dilemma is huge

There is a tip in game that says competitive bs'ing is ok. I wonder how many people get punished for competitive bs'ing..

Xonra5/4/2018, 6:12:53 PM1 votes

That isn't trash talk. That's just generic, at most sarcastic comment that is like "chill with the caps" worthy at best. It's kind of bm doing it in all chat I guess. Though I'd never see it anyways cause having all chat on is moronic in ranked and only people who bm and flame people use all chat.

If they were ACTUALLY trash talking, as in directing negative comments at me, but played well, then nope. Probably already muted them and they getting slapped in the head with that report. Don't care how well you played if you are a dick.

What you described however isn't trash talk, or even directed at anyone but the person in question so it's perfectly fine I guess, but yeah probably wouldn't honor if I even saw it. I'd roll my eyes and ignore them. Like I said is a bit bm which isn't cool but isn't really anything I'd care about past rolling my eyes and ignoring them.

I dont honor people for how much the carry Baring really good tank play. I Honor usually based on how picks the most selfless characters in the team as long as they dont afk in the back line while fights are going on (as either mages adcs or tanks/ supports)

astralwit5/5/2018, 1:54:05 AM1 votes

absolutely if it's not mean spirited

Ifneth5/5/2018, 2:17:06 AM1 votes

Nope. If you want honor, then either:

Tilt-Proof: Lose your lane or get camped but then continue to do your job during the mid and late game.

Shot-Caller: Make the call that won the game or keep the tempo going throughout.

GG: Be sweet. Say nice things and mean them, save teammates, and hold waves.

OatheSworn5/5/2018, 2:35:37 AM1 votes

I received 4 honors in one of my Zed games just by bickering around with my team and enemy team. I went 18/8 which I guess did sort of help but people tend to honor people who had an undeniably positive impact in the game or if they were funny even if they were just average as a player.

PS: The 4 honors were for GG <3 "Team player, friendly" so it wasn't really because of my plays

Marothennan5/4/2018, 12:44:48 PM1 votes

In ranked for sure. I don't play ranked to make friends. I'll get downvoted for this but I'd honor someone for great shotcalling even if they flamed their ass off.

0 Hogapu5/4/2018, 2:13:44 PM1 votes

if the dude is funny and making the game be a great time, i'll do it however if he's trashtalking people, he could be faker that i wouldn't honor him.

EvilxUndertonez5/4/2018, 2:05:08 PM1 votes

Yes I would honor someone for playing well. Unlike the automated "IFS" system, I don't pay much attention to what goes on in the chat box, I focus on whats actually happening in game.

Feel Apathy5/4/2018, 2:14:33 PM1 votes

If he really made an impact I'd honor him regardless.

If he was annoying me specifically I'd report him and not honor anyone or honor the person that played around me.

Leopardo1445/5/2018, 5:38:24 AM1 votes

I'll honor if it was meant either as a joke or everyone's chill with it. If it was a piece of shit that acts like a six year old, I won't give the person shit even in ranked.
