The only thing she wouldn't really be able to do would be GMG but we all know what happened to 'that' tournament. :P So yeah, nothing affects her fighting role and since she has been sub-leader most of the time when Makarov was gone, there is nothing new. Instead of honorary it just became official. More official than Macao even as seen in Romeo's response lol.
