RIOT made this update in all probability because many people express terms of childishness ingame, which can be quite annoying to other gamers. But today, by means of a system which is activated after the match you can give them the so called 'honor' possibility and you can choose from the following catagories listed below in this article.

This makes it possible that you can be proud of yourself because your team mates and even the enemy have the possibility to show their appreciation for your game nor skill. If this really works out is still the question, but there is at least thought about.

RIOT's official description regarding on this update:

" Through Honor, you can acknowledge summoners who helped make your game awesome by clicking on the “thumbs up” icon next to the summoner name at the post-game lobby. You’ll also receive Honor of your own when you impress your fellow summoners with your sportsmanship in the game. ,,

Honor Catagories

Helpful:
There are those summoners who have the know-how to help you step up your game and are always willing to share. If one of your teammates makes you feel like you’re attending a master class on League of Legends, be sure to recognize him for being a helpful teammate.

Teamwork:
Some players really put the needs of the team over their personal interests. These players lead the way on the Fields of Justice, support struggling teammates, and are always the first to step up and select a role the team needs. This acknowledgement is for all those players who understand that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Friendly:
Ever meet one of those summoners who – win or lose – is just a pleasure to play with? This acknowledgement goes out to those unsung heroes of the Fields of Justice whose friendly demeanor keeps everyone having a good time even when the chips are down.

Honorable Opponent:
Sometimes you run into an opponent who is humble in victory and graceful in defeat. Be sure to acknowledge those adversaries who embody the spirit of sportsmanship as Honorable Opponents.

Have fun gaining respect and experience!
