Bring Back "Honourable Opponent"

Dignitis·10/28/2017, 9:58:28 PM·331 votes·7,905 views

I think that Riot should bring back the Honourable Opponent honour again, since I meet so many nice people in matchmaking in the enemy teams I think that it would be a good idea to atleast make the same think as with team honour that you should be able to choose the most honourable player from the enemy team too.

Just had a game where i was Udyr against a Jhin . Both teams were talking about how fast we were so we raced. I walked up to the enemy 3'rd bot turret and they let us.

(Jhin won but i hadn't built item 3742 yet)

What about chosing 1 between all 10 players? So instead of just skipping when you lost horribly you can honor an opponent instead of a teammate if you want to. Or if you won easy because the enemy team had an afk/inter you can honor an opponent for staying cool

Sure they'll bring it back in Overdue time, I mean how many months/years go by does Rito typically pull for requests like that as they get bottled down by their flurry of priority list and therefore cast into the shadow realm where 1 lucky ancient request eventually gets picked out,

finally giving the ones that have so long awaited together what they desire the most but by then their faith hath fleeteth as they are mostly disbanded from distraught by then haha, oh you classic rapscallion you, rito did it again.

As a support main, whenever I lose, I usually honor the player on my team that did the most to carry. Jungler if he ganked, mid if he roamed, ADC if nobody helped but he put up a good fight and didn't flame just because we lost... But I would like the option to also honor the enemy support who did a damn good job of getting his ADC fed and defeating us in lane. Sometimes the enemy support teaches me a bit about builds or obscure mechanics, and I appreciate that. For the duration of the game we're enemies, but if you show me the kindness of helping me to get better, then I think you deserve an honor.

"Bring ban" (instead of back) and 'meat (meet) so many nice people"? Sir, you seem to have been hit by the Autocorrect bug. Just thought you should know. :)

Considering I've refused to honor like 99% of my own teammates, it'd be nice to also not honor my opponents as well. Also, the first line made me giggle a bit as for a second I thought you were actively handing out meat to people while playing them in game.

If I got hugely outplayed by lets say an enemy jungler at one point in the game, and it was just so clean that even I'd try it; I'd honor for having my number. Or if the entire enemy team trash talks and is toxic except for one, i'd honor that player for not being a disruption to the game and chat feature. These are a few times i'd feel the need to honor an enemy. I say bring it back indeed.

I think I honored more opponents and received it more the nay of the other kind of honors before the rework so I'm totally fine with this. It's always nice to be able to give your enemy a pat on the back because at he end of the day it's all just for fun.

This isn't a good idea, in my opinion. If you're playing a team VS team game, the only honors you should be concerned about is on your team. There's no point in honoring the opponent because the same honors apply to them as well. If they're honorable in any way, their teammates should be able to recognize that and honor accordingly. The opponent's vote isn't needed.

Riot could either leave you with two votes (1 for your team, 1 for the enemy team) or they could still leave you with one, making you choose between your own team and the enemy team. Either of these options are bad because the first one is almost implying that after you choose if you want to honor one of your teammates, you should also do that for the enemy team. The second option implies that if you don't spend that vote on your team, you can do so for the enemy team.

Why would you even care how the enemy team performed? You should only be concerned about your own team's performance. And the categories we have now can't even be properly conveyed when we're talking about the enemy team as that requires communication and playing with them to know for sure. That's not something that's known to us, as their opponents and you should also not be concerned about establishing a good rapport with them in the all chat, in the middle of the game.

How do you meat them, like cut them into steaks and make them into sausage?

Hannibal also does that when he meets people.

Make it like Overwatch, where you have the option to honor someone from either team at the end of the game
