New changes
“Your Honor is an evaluation of your interactions with other players over time. High Honor is reserved for those who consistently demonstrategood behavior”, we can read on the leaked images. The new system will be based on your performance in-game and potential teammates' and enemies' honors, communication, and coordination. You’ll need to be respectful, friendly, and helpful in the chat comms. You need to make good use of pings, emotes, fistbumps, and other tools to coordinate with your team and achieve better results but if you use your pings, for example, to disturb, you’ll have consequences.
Honor system: all the levels
Level 1
According to the leaks, if you’re constantly disruptive in League of Legends, the Honor system will reflect that. Your access to the all chat, champ select chat, and post-game chat will be removed, and you’ll not going to receive any ranked split rewards. “Guys it’s easy to get honor 5, just don’t be racist or tell people to unalive themselves”, a player commented onX.
Level 2
Although these players have beendisruptivein the last games and not in every game, level two is like a warning for them to change their behavior. Like the level one players, they won’t have access to all chat or ranked split rewards.
Level 3
On level three, we talk about players who are normally well-behaved with their team. However, they’re still not consistent enough to deserve more rewards. They will have battle pass XP drops, access to every chat channel, and rankedsplit rewards.

Level 4
One step ahead from “greatness.” Level four players are consistently positive, respectful, and collaborative. They’ll have everything in honor three plus increased battle pass XP drops, an honor emblem that appears on the loading screen, and more frequent pings andemotesallowed. Being friendly brings good things, remember that.
Level 5
We’re talking about exceptional players whose behavior is an example. They’ll have everything in level four plus a maximum battle pass XP drops, an honor emblem appearing in chat, a special honor recall, and current plus past honor skins unlocked. Think like this: good behavior, more skins. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t be toxic or aggressive to your teammates.
Everyone starts on the same level
According toRiot Heronic Bird, everyone will start on level three. There won’t be resets and you can only go down if you take penalties because of your behavior. There is nothing to worry about if you’re a well-behaved player. And, for the ones returning to the game, there won’t be resets so you’ll be receiving the honor you deserve according to your behavior on the next games.
Mixed reactions about the new honor system
On X, there are mixed reactions from the players, but they’re positive overall. Some called this system a bad idea, butothersthink it’s a great one since “it incentives people to be nice and punishes those who are still being assholes”.
Otherplayers are afraid of being reported “just for having a bad game” which can influence your honor system. People are also demanding for Riot Games their “mass report system” before putting these changes on the system. Otherwise, it seems that theLeague of Legendscommunity is seeing this change as positive and impactful.
