Developer Riot Games is hoping to change all this, though, with the introduction of a new Honor system to promote playing well with others.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, players have been able to report bad behaviour but not the other way around. With the Honor system, they&#8217;ll now also be able to acknowledge <em>good<\/em> behaviour by awarding a &#8220;thumbs up&#8221; to other players according to several categories including &#8220;Helpful&#8221;, &#8220;Friendly&#8221;, &#8220;Teamwork&#8221;, and &#8220;Honorable Opponent&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Players will also be able to review their own Honor score to keep track of how much everybody else likes or doesn&#8217;t like them, so the whole thing is kind of like a high school toilet wall. That does seem appropriate somehow.<\/p>\n<p>The system is already live, so make sure you log in to see if that mage from last night thinks you&#8217;re cute. Or helpful. But everybody knows &#8220;helpful&#8221; is just code for &#8220;you&#8217;re, like, totally hot and I&#8217;d totally go to the grade 8 dance with you, totally, like, <em>omg<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<h6>* And, by further extension, gamers.<\/h6>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/na.leagueoflegends.com\/honor\" target=\"_blank\">League of Legends<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related articles:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/45054-league-of-legends-ddos-attacks-addressed-by-riot.html\">League of Legends DDoS attacks addressed by Riot<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/43713-league-of-legends-championship-winners-disqualified.html\">League of Legends Championship winners disqualified for cheating<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/43348-riot-games-reclaims-porn-site-domain.html\">Riot Games reclaims porn site domain<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/39544-league-of-legends-accounts-hacked-user-information-stolen.html\">League of Legends accounts hacked, user information stolen<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/37342-riot-games-warns-lol-scum-of-the-earth-cheaters-of-incoming-banhammer-storm.html\">Riot Games warns LoL \u201cscum of the earth cheaters\u201d of incoming banhammer storm<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ll have to supply your own lollipops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":31486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,7021,631,473,633],"class_list":["post-45327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-honor-system","tag-league-of-legends","tag-lol","tag-riot-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45327"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45332,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45327\/revisions\/45332"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
