Honor capsules and orbs
They slightly changed throughout the seasons, but normally the honor orbs gave you key fragments (to open Hextech chests that no longer exist in the game and won’t come back as the developers announced), some champion shards, usually lower-cost, and sometimes even ward skins or blue essence. The honor capsules, at honor level three or above, gave you better rewards.
The champion shards had higher values giving you often 4800 or above blue essence champs as well as exclusive honor skins (like Gray Warwick and Medieval Twitch), honor five tokens, and sometimes even random ward skins.
