Riot Games has recently shared updates on bringing a new and updated honor system to League of Legends, and it aims to fix the existing problems with the current system while also encouraging players to commend others for good behavior.
The developers acknowledged that the current system in League of Legends limits players to honoring just one teammate per game, which has led to commendations being based more on skill than on sportsmanship.
“We want the honor system to reflect good behavior, not just how many games you’ve played and how well you’ve played in them,” Riot Games stated in a recent announcement.
The New Honor System in LoL
The first step that Riot Games is taking to address issues with the honor system is providing players with the ability to commend more than one player.
On top of that, players will also be able to honor their enemies starting September 2024, a returning feature that had been removed back in 2017 and has since been heavily requested by LoL players.
The devs also mentioned that they had more “long-term plans” for the LoL honor system, but no further details have been revealed in the announcement.
“We’re making changes to the system that let players identify and reward others who are truly honorable, not just cracked at the game,” the statement reads. “We have long-term plans for the system overall, but the first part you’ll see this September is the ability to honor more than one player per game as well as the ability to honor enemies.”
