A fix to the honor system (explained)
It needs an adjustment to fix how unbalanced it is and the ramifications of playing solo. Some people don't like to play in Pre-mades and I know that riot is pushing for pre-made play and I can tell you why:
- For being in a pre-made you get rewarded IP/Essence for being in that premade, you also get more added essence for each extra person in your pre-made.
- Say i'm playing solo and I get paired with a pre-made of 3 and another random, well I honor someone and those 3 honor each other because that's how that works I see it just about every game I play. More often than not you will end up getting 0 Honors, Also because this happens on your team it more than likely happens on the other side of the rift.
- Because of #2 your going to unfairly grant people essence, and free honors just for being on a pre-made making it so much harder for solo players to earn anything. I bet if you look to see which players are the highest honors it's the ones that always play pre-made, I'm not saying every person but a majority. I know there are some good summoners out there. A fix for this needs to happens, I'm not saying the new system is bad but at least with the old system, I at least could look forward to earning my measly 70 ip just for playing. I hope into a room now and see the pre-mades and that's when I lose all motivation to play because I have nothing to look forward to. I'm not asking for much, I'm just asking for it to be more balanced out so that Solo players at least have something to work for when playing.
