When discussing the Honor Initiative, players are quick to ask for more incentives, but Riot finds 'hard rewards' a tricky issue.

What I'd like to talk about is how we might use the honor system to 'reward' players not with a tangible 'gift' but rather a more enjoyable play 'experience.' Namely, I love the idea of being able to play more regularly with fellow honorable summoners. In this post, we discuss what Riot could do to help foster the community of sportsmanship/honorable players.

I'd like to ask what the community thinks of instituting an Noble Island, a sort of Honor Club?

People have discussed a 'prisoners island' concept where trolls are tossed in together so they can't mix with the general population. The main critique of this 'solution' is that it exacerbates toxic behavior, leaving little room for reformative behavior (resocialization).

If we apply this concept to a community of honorable players, wouldn't we see a reciprocal process? In theory, honor would beget honor, creating a haven of anti-toxicity. If players were genuinely perpetuating honorable behavior, wouldn't we experience more enjoyable games? Win or lose, players still compete, but on this Noble Island, you are guided by the golden rule of sportsmanship, instead of the blind immaturity of selfishness.

Of course there is no such thing as a gamer's utopia, but I would like to hear everyone's feedback on the feasibility of creating a sacred space for e-sportsmanship, an Island of Good Repute, the League of Respectable Gentleman.

For example, a separate queue is created that you can only participate in if you meet a certain honor threshold (received from the other queues). This creates an incentive for players to act honorable (assuming they want to queue with non-trolls).

I admit this may incentivize 'honor trading' or some other exploitation, but so is the case with any 'reward' system. The balance, however, would come when those imposters try to participate on Noble Island, in which the community either recognizes their true nature (and issues reports) or the trolls don't actually act out and continue to blend in without disrupting the experience.

Thoughts??! We have to remember some people just want to have fun, not earn LP.

TL;DR: Riot plz make a separate queue for players who maintain a positive honor threshold versus their reported ratio.
