Getting OE from the honor

saviourahul·Dec 17, 2017·16 votes·1,113 views

Getting BE is easy to buy champions etc. but what about the O.E, there should be a way to earn that. It can be through events or objectives etc. I was thinking if, for each honor the summoner will get OE (example 20 OE) that would help him to buy skin permanently. On the other hand Summoners will avoid doing intentional feeding, verbal abuse etc. in order to earn those OE. Please think about it, i think it will help a lot in the game. I really want feedback from all summoners, i had sent this suggestion to LOL support page, they find this idea interesting but they wanted me to put this idea on Board to get the feedback. Please share your important feedback, ideas and also vote so that i can then mail to LOL about it.

I would love this, but only if it was negated by honors from a premade (which, tangentially, is something I wish was already not an option). Alternatively, prevent multiple honor gains from the same player for a day, week, whatever is palatable.

Another idea to prevent gaming the system and really drive people to play well is to only give --- or give a hefty bonus to --- OE for the 'most honorable' tag. An obvious downside of this is that people (at least in my low elo) have a tendency to only honor based on KDA, rather than the more subtle, and sometimes more meaningful, contributions a player can make. Eh.

O.E to Most honorable player would be unfair mostly. Even in a one sided match there are at least 2 people doing their best, so if only 1 got the most honorable person the other wont get any benefit. But i really want there should be a way to earn OE. I have Super Galaxy Rumble, Project Fiora, TPA ezreal, Pharaoh Ammu and 2 more skin shards but no OE :( . So no fun

Even if it was just 1 OE per honor I'd love this idea, and honestly since honor rewards aren't worth shit now (who needs keys frags when chests aren't worth a shit), and the end of season wards was a total cluster (Riot shit the bed on that so hard it was hilarious). It'd actually give REAL incentive for players to be honorable. And at 1 OE per honor even those "oh well people will just honor trade and break this" can just shut their cakeholes.

Gotta agree here. Something really minimal but that adds up for consistently being a good teammate is exactly what Honor needs right now anyway.

Maybe if they did +1 OE per honor, doubled if you receive the "most honorable" for that match. No matter what Riot is only giving away at most 9 OE per game (everyone honors and one person gets 4 honors), or maybe as little as none at all.

Good incentive to be a good player and a nicer person, and gives a more direct albeit gradual reward for honor.

but 1 OE is so low. For disenchanting even a normal skin you need around 200 OE. That means you need 200 honors which in turn means you have to play at least 100 games in which you get 2 honor always. That is practically impossible. That's why i said 20 OE (means 10 honors = 200 OE)

That's too high - Riot's goal is to make money, and 20 OE will cut into sales. I probably would make ~50+ OE/day on average off of that, or 18250/year, which is 40 450 OE skins or 27 675 OE skins. I think ~2 free skins/month is reasonable, so maybe 5-10 OE per honor?

But honestly it would be better if they just reverted the OE costs. As is they just killed crafting and that's no fun.

yea i agree and bdw they are also interested in this idea. By getting OE from honors most players will try to play fair and stop abusing.

The point is the more honor you receive the more OE you get (like I said, as much as 8 OE per game with 4 honors).

I get honored 9/10 games I play because I try my best to be a good teammate. If I play two or three games every day or even every other day it starts to add up.

You could get that 200 OE in as few as 25 matches with this system, or never at all if you're a bad teammate. The point is to incentivize healthy player habits, not to mine OE.

If for instance you got an occasional OE drop with your Key fragments, that's something that a 20 OE drop could feel fair for, but anything more regular than that is too much. Riot is still a business and for them to even consider an idea that could take away revenue, that dent to their income has to be minor compared to the benefits.

Id rather not... Its already frustrating enough going 27-0, being a great teammate, and getting 0 honors,either because of premades or a bad mentality(bad mentality = "if im not gonna get honored, nobody else gets honored").

IMO riot should just change the O.E. disenchanting amounts back to how they were a couple weeks ago. IDK why they decreased the amount, its now completely inefficient to disenchant and enchant skins.

You can't really neglect anything by minority of people that do so, majority of people really honor people based upon their game play. Till now honor has no fun, but after including this concept people would really want to honor the person who plays good (at least majority of people will do).

I'm beyond down for this, this would help out so much considering how hard it is to get orange essence in the first place. I am pretty sure Riot would only make it worth little to none if they do because it would be them giving away what makes then money for free. That's just my opinion.

It would be great if Riot could give OE along with BE as well when we level up.

For instance 100 OE along with 100 BE.

We need atleast 3 monthly missions where we can get OE or BE.

In fact, I think this is actually a really good idea. Not only will help improve the way people interact with each other but it will also help maintain a more good "friendly" environment for those who are actually trying to improve their gameplay.. I also think that the oe thingy would really be helpful and it would really mean a lot for those who can't purchase or get a skin from time to time.. Overall I think this idea would really help a lot in turns of keeping the game more friendly. Thus I would like to include that even thought this could be a good idea there's people who won't really resale that and there's got it be some sort of a punishment in case it happens. Anyway thank you for your time and coloration on improving the game.
