New Honor System Suggestion. (FOR THE DEVS~)

Velvet Crowe··16 votes·938 views

**S**o I've texted the support and Odd Fairy suggested I put my idea on the board. In hope, someone of the dev Team will see this.

**W**hen you guys first announced the new honor system I had one thought: What will happen to all the honors we've collected so far? Some of them earned a lot of honors over the years and first it made me sad they would just disappear. I hoped they would still show somewhere in the profile but after talking to several people, I gave up on the idea. Though everyone seemed upset.. We hope that we will get something in return of losing all these honors since we never got punished by the mighty force of Riot. (Which our honors prove!) After all, it took some of us quite some years and it was not always easy not to fall into the spiral of the toxic people around us. We are all proud of our honor score so we do hope Riot will make up for it that it (and I quote) "doesn't feel like a slap in the face". We have been a good part of the community, please make us feel that way because at the moment.. It feels like all those honors don't mean anything anymore.. We already accepted the system that is about to come and we are excited about it but yet, please don't forget people in the wind of change, that have been around for so long.

**Moving on to the next topic! **

**W**hat I also wanted to point out is that only being able to honor only one person in the new system is rather disappointing. I get why you are doing this. 5 man premade's could obviously boost their honors through the roof by playing and keep honoring each other. But how about you enable being able to honor more than one person when we que with less than 3 people. If we duo, we obviously will honor our friend (which of course should be our right but that also will make randoms miss out on their deserved honor. ) So my suggestion is that we should be able to honor as many people as we like as long as we qued with only ONE premade and to disable multiple honors when we que as 3 people and more. This way the system will make more sense because: How many people actually play this game alone and will honor the person that deserves it? They will always honor their friend but given the opportunity, they will also honor the randoms who did good. I on my end, with the system that we have now, I honor everyone that deserve an honor for whatever fits to how the person played. I think you guys should keep that in mind. I find it a great idea to ask us after the game who we want to honor and "force" us to do it (I've seen it in other games too), but we should be able to honor everyone who we think did good, as long as we only qued up with only one person. This way the system will get used to its full potential and not get abused to boost one another when there are a lot of premade's.

That was all. I hope this message will reach the devs. Good luck to everyone and have a great day! Velvet~ [slayer-jinx-catface]

"The big change is that each player can now only honor one teammate; a shift that helps make each honor feel more weighty on both the giving and receiving ends." - The honor promo page.

So they intentionally went with a single honor for that purpose (not to avoid abuse cases). Do you think that's a poor reason?

Yes, I have read that before that's why I think they should make giving multiple honors to premade's unavailable but enable it when you are playing with strangers or at least only ONE friend. This way everyone you think deserves to be honored, get's to be honored. I think that's a good solution so the system won't get abused by premade's.

Let's be real, we barely play normal games or those "fun game modes" on our own. We will always honor our friend and this is why I think my idea is a good solution. I would feel bad only honoring my friend because the person is my friend when there other people in the team -that I don't know- that deserve it.

Also, I had a conversation with someone that said the honor system is completely useless and they should delete it completely. I have to disagree with that because I think there are so many toxic people that ruin the game for you and then there are honors that make you feel good when you see it after your game. (Even if you thought you didn't do well, it makes you smile seeing that little window pop up, saying you got honored.) It's a little positive spark that gives you motivation and makes you feel better about yourself. This is also another reason why I think we should be able to honor as many people as we want as long as we're not a 3 (or more) man premade.

Sorry for the wall of text!

Just let me ask this: Are you personally going give your one honor to a friend everytime you are in a premade? Well obvious not every single time. That's too easy of a question. Are you going to give preference to you friends (i.e. when all players are equally honorable, you give the honor to your friend).

No actually I'd always honor my premade. Friendship and such. That's how a lot people think that's why I think the idea is flawed.

Riot said that honoring your premade does nothing and doesn't increase their honor points at all.

Untrue. If you read the honor system page it says after level 3 you get the loading screen banner if two premade members honored you last game. It doesn't say anything about increased honor but you can definitely flaunt honor more if you have a premade with you.

I guess Rioters are wrong and you're right then:

Can I game the system and boost to level 5 by constantly playing with a premade and honoring each other every game? That’s a great idea. Luckily, we’ve broken a few systems in our day, too. So we specifically built Honor so potential exploits like this give you (and your friend) literally no benefit.

Do your research better next time and you might not sound so erroneous and arrogant.

Back at you. Do your research. Here, I made it easy, child. Look at this picture first. Go ahead. Now, reread my post.

You're welcome, child.

Yes, I know that. But I was talking about the honor rank. Screen flairs are only cosmetic and last for one game.

... honoring your premade does nothing ...

I'm just going off the exact words you said. If you want me to agree with you wholeheartedly, you need to say something that's undeniably true.

Dokkaebi1 votes

Hrmm. Well it's true it does nothing in the context of op's post. He was talking about people abusing the system to gain points.

Was hoping for a secret message to be made from all the bolded letters at the start of each paragraph. I'm currently trying to piece together the meaning of SWW.
