Hey,

This last match was the most peaceful, fun and stress-relieving game I've had in a long long time. I even turned my all-chat on because we were having friendly banter with the enemy.

There wasn't any massive put downs or trash talking going on. We were just a group of people having a great time.

It didn't matter that our team lost because the feeling I got from that game was worth more then then previous wins.

I just want to say, even if people are being fake with niceness in order to gain Honor, I can't tell the difference so its way better then being trashed talked for 30 minutes because of one mistake.

+1 to Riot,

TLDR: Honor System is good.

I wish I could honor after i leave end screen... I always forget to honor someone that did good.

I agree entirely. There's more incentive for good behavior now, whereas before there were only threats of punishment for poor sportsmanship/playing. While it makes me kind of sad that people need that kind of encouragement in the first place, the fact that it's there has made a significant difference in the games I've played lately. I'm liking it so far; looking forward to what may come of it.

The last 3 ranked games I played only consisted of a few toxic players in one of them (my Cass game).

My early game was beyond horrible, but I kept thinking to myself, "bring it to late game, and we'll be ok". We ended up winning 3 consecutive team fights in a row post 35 minutes, and we pushed for the win. I'm sure I was still reported for something, but it was still good to see my team actually thought long term instead of giving up completely after 20-25 minutes.

I do have to say the honor system has cleaned up a lot of messy attitudes, and overall given the game a better feel. It's much nicer now seeing people in the 1100-1500 elo range think long term when the going gets rough. Communication is drastically better as well.

Thanks Riot. I actually enjoy queuing for ranked now.
