I used to play LoL. I quit because of how bad the community was, I wasn’t enjoying myself any more. The original honor system had two major flaws that held it back for years.
First, they awarded well behaved players with ribbons that would display on the loas screen. Other than that, there was no real benefit to not be toxic (other than you know, being a decent person).
The other major thing that drove a lot of players angry? Ribbons randomly disappeared. I at one point had three out of the four ribbons possible at the time, and I’d have one display randomly at the start of each match. The only one I didn’t have was the one for being a good mentor.
And then one day they just sort of disappeared. I have never been banned, and I would still recieve honors. My ribbons were just gone.
It’s hard to take Riot’s honor system too seriousy when the reward is pretty low effort, and the reward can just disappear on you for seemingly no reason.
