As a customer of your game I think this new method for the tribunal is not as good as the old method for rewarding players who participate in Tribunal.

And if you say the old method was for IP hungry players it wasn't.

The players are what suffer here as tightly knit groups will control honor. The problematic type to this new tribunal is that random players won't point out "spam" - "But you say this point honor means nothing" But Riot is just pointing out it may mean something in the future and those 1-up-me-nots who press the envelop will strive for honor.

Riot, you could have thought better methods to fix those troublesome individuals that are causing the problem. If you say, "Well you are not thinking of any." Well here is one I am very strongly for ... don't even offer a chance "Ever" for the opposite team to communicate with the team they are playing. In the sport of competition if needed offer pre-made text offering to state good game at only the end of the match.

And as a customer looking at the fun/cool idea of this all.... I see it as lame and uneventful.

As a player that has been playing since beta testing I have to say this is the poorest idea yet.

But you still have Morello, So I can see how this idea could have been introduced.
Yes, Morello, I called you out on a thread that has nothing to do with your job of...
over the continuous nerfing of true AP. AP items are ha-dismal.... huanting guise and the change to Abyssal comes to mind. A note-able upgrade (and I don't count the Athene's Unholy Grail) to any AP item I even saw came with a nerf to DFG and a buff to Morello's own tome.

I am just so discussed with Riots direction on balancing in general. This game really isn't even like DOTA anymore.

The problem with this system is that the most reasonable players are usually the ones who don't speak at all and just play well.

As much as they aren't exactly a shining force mood wise, they're still usually the best players in terms of skill and attitude and will probably never get any honor points...

On the other hand, you'll often see those players who spend half their game typing tips in the chat, while playing extremely poorly. As I understand it, those will probably get more honor, and I don't find it fair...

Buying honor, $5 each.....lol jk, but seriously I like the new honor system it gives me something to look forward to getting after a match or if I teach new players how to play I can get a little something from it.

I hope when Lyte mentions an automated "flag for review" for your honor gifts, the review is at least somewhat in-depth. I have a couple really cool & friendly people I queue with regularly, and I will likely be throwing some honor their way quite often.

I think the idea of the honor system is positive, however, until there is an assosiated award the impact will be minimal. Its a string without a carrot .

The system should at least take honor rating into consideration when match making so we can slowly separate the positive from the negative players.

I first saw this in my first dominion I ever played today I thought it was a dominion only thing so I gave a nid on my team thumbs up for helping me out xD

I find this to be a fun idea to help support good players - from good players (when I say good I don't mean skill, I mean nice).

I'm not the biggest fan of -rewards- however. This is why:

IF a reward such as "THe most honorable player this month or year or weerk" is made, it seems rather unfair. And the example I would use is myself. I play this game in a style that I enjoy. I play the game my way and I don't cater to the "Last guy has to be a tank!" or "We need another AP, PLAY AP MAN". I play who I want and build them however I want because I am able to. I can play Fiddlesticks attack damage because an infinity edge is NOT locked from me purchasing it. And if I respect everyone else and help win the game in a positive manner, and in the end, being good results in nothing, not even an honor point - then it's a community flaw.

I guess the point is don't implement a reward that controls the way someone has to play to get honored.

If i end up with poor honor I'm going to start every match by saying. You have dishonored me and my family prepare to die.
