Thank You Riot For the Honor Skin!

This makes all the times I had to stop myself from verbally firing back at all the trolls worth it!

Seriously, skins for honor is a great idea. We all know that there's a problem with the community; we also know it's not Riot's fault.

For example, last night I was told to "kill myself" by my botlane support because my "last hitting was the worst he'd ever seen" by a guy who described himself as "from the hood" - this is AFTER he literally got bored and left my lane to go mid with his premade lobby friends, preventing me from even being in the lane or taking CS - on researching his career I found out that he's 1-11 in ranked and literally 18th out of 25 in Bronze V. (I'm no great shakes, but am 3rd in my Silver IV division and trying my best to rise and play responsibly.)

It is impossible to imagine how many games and lobbies someone like that ends up savaging.

Really, what can we do about people like that? So stuff like this makes the effort to stay positive worthwhile! Thanks Riot!

i was rly shocked when i got a honor skin today. players who always rage and curse you for making some mistakes are realy annoying but you always have to keep your calm. i even got a reward for it:D

Thank you for the new skin, RIOT.

One idea related to this is honor specific rewards. If there were no other way to get said reward other than teamwork, good sportsmanship, etc. it would help encourage positive behavior and a more positive playing experience for all.

Thanks again, now I'll have to play Nasus more often! :P
