League of Legends recently dropped patch update 7.13 and besides all the changes to champions and items, they introduced the new Honor update. At the end of every match, Summoners will now be able to honor one of their teammates via the new voting screen.

You’ll be able to honor a Summoner that did their part, were helpful or brought a positive experience to a match. If they get the most votes, they will add more to their overall Honor level as to which in the future, will be able to earn exclusive rewards.

Once a Summoner hits Honor Level 2, they’ll continue to evolve their overall level and have it proudly displayed on their profile page. The system will automatically earn you some Honor points even if you don’t get voted, as long as you play well and again, handle your respective role efficiently.

The goal of this new Honor update is to encourage everyone on a team to vote for the best player and showcase teamwork above all else. If all members of a team at least vote, everyone will get Honor points.

Once you hit Honor Level 3, you’ll unlock a new loading screen flair for your next game that continues to evolve the more you play and get honored. In addition to that, new Honor Capsules will start to drop for you.
