It would also be nice if they included "honor" ratings in forming matches. That way once Honor is well in place (for level 30 summoners only and after a specific grace period) then matchmaking can bring together 5s who are going to try their best to be good teammates, friendly, and helpful so you get a team who even if they happen to have a bad match, you know from their similar to your own honor ratings and will always try their best.

I'm sure this would also almost completely eliminate reports from those matches. I mean, honestly if you earned a ton of honor for being a good teammate and friendly, you would never actually intentionally feed or afk without good cause (dcing doesn't count since it happens) so your teammates can't say this guy intentionally fed when he just had a bad game (not saying he/she wouldn't intentionally feed, but it's highly unlikely that they aren't a toxic player.) My point is this would bring players together who are going to always bring their best and build each other up. Games with a team full of people like that are the best (Even your enemies too). Even if you lose, those are the best games of my life and I am disappointed I lost but I still feel great and can play just as well or better the next game instead of being depressed because someone bashed me or an ally for making a few early mistakes.

This may influence the players behavior in-game. I applaud you Riot, this is a great idea to improve the community

just got honored by someone today

feels good :3

People are becoming nice robots... all these generic nice remarks... Is no one human anymore? I also feel like being Shaco is pointless now... what's the point when I can't be sassy?

Hey, I just played with two players and wanted to honour each of them separately. I honoured the Teemo for teamwork but, before I could honour the Nautilus, he requested honour from our team. I didn't end up giving him honour because I was scared that the "system" would detect that we traded honour as he requested it before I gave it to him.

My question is, if I did give him honour for friendliness, would it have been detected as an illegal use of the honour system? I want to hand it out to people who deserve it but I don't want to get banned for handing out to people who, although I was intending to give it to, request it in post-game chat.

Just want to say I approve of the system - my games today have been alot more pleasant then I'm used to, and I assume that's because people are on their best behaviour due to Honor.

While I'm not entirely sure that was the intent of the system(changing behaviour, I mean), it is welcome and appreciated.
