I'm restricted from gaining honor level for chatlogs from February and I wasn't ever banned

So from the start of this season my honor level doesn't raise at all. I'm still on level 2, step 3. And I know my friends are level 3 or 4 so I started to wonder what is going on. Last season I had lvl5, I was never punished in any way, I play a lot, got honored quite a lot (even if I didn't Riot once said it's possible to raise honor even if you are not honored by teammates). So I wrote to Riot support if there is something wrong and I got this answer:

_Hey there, _ _I'm sorry to hear about this bud :( _ _I've checked your account, it seems it's somewhere in the middle, meaning you're doing well at times and other times you mess up, just a little bit :) _ _Do not worry, it's nothing that will drag you down but if you want to speed the process up in lvl-ing your honor faster, you will need to follow my steps: _

_ 1 - Mute and Ignore players that just ruin your in-game experience. Don't let them insult you for 10 minutes and then retaliate back using insults, this if fighting fire with fire and it is not tolerated. Most players get punished because they chose to respond back, becoming guilty of violating the Summoner’s Code just as well as the player that first started the situation. You can also mute pings now so you know. _

_ 2 - This a bit of a personal one, try playing with friends. In my case it brought me back to the game and since they are your friends, frustrating situations usually become hilarious cases. _

 _3 - Take a break in-between games, go and eat something or smoke a cigarette (if you are a smoker, if you are not, then please do not start smoking). It is important to refresh our minds whenever something stresses us so that we can come back fresh and with a clear mind.

_ 4 - The link below offers more tips regarding this: _ https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201751874-Behavior-Worthy-of-a-Champion _

_ 5 - Remember that you are fully responsible for all activity on your account, and if suspensions or bans are incurred, we will not be able to modify them. _

Also, real quick, here are two games that are still bringing you down, well not the games themselves but the behavior exhibited in them, if you stay away from this you'll be Gucci for life:

Alright, that's enough for today..I don't wanna bury you in text, but if you have anything else that you need help with, reach out to me :) Have a good one, Snorjax Player Support Specialist "Surprise! I'm back"

These games were in February and even if I were never punished in any way they still affect my honor level so much that it doesn't raise at all. Of course there is a lot of context behind these, but Boards are usually not interested in it, so I will skip telling you what was going on there.

At first I was like "ok, it's just honor, doesn't really matter" but now, when I see how players hard flame in game and still have honor level higher than me I'm starting to get pissed. It's unfair! I feel like I got banned. Exactly what is the difference? I can't get free stuff from gaining honor either way so why shouldn't I go full ape and start hard flaming? Riot, by doing stuff like this you are creating even more toxicity. Why players should behave when even when they don't flame they are punished?

i was locked from gaining honor for not even 1 week. it took me almost 5 months to get back to h2 from h1.

if you are locked from honor for around 5 months now, just make a new acc if you REALLY care about honor. if not, accept the fact that you will be at honor lv 0/1 for the next 18 months.

He he did say this:

well not the games themselves but the behavior exhibited in them, if you stay away from this you'll be Gucci for life:

But I do agree, you should be provided some more recent logs, even if they’re not much, which is hat I expect.

At any rate, they’re saying avoid this behavior in order to progress through honor. My guess is there’s bits of these logs scattered in your current logs. Not enough to get you punished, but enough to hinder your progress.

I could get if my progress was slower, but it stopped at all. I had the same honor level as I have now when this season was starting.

You won’t progress if you’re negative in games.

You will progress if you’re positive or if you don’t say anything at all.

Looking at your logs here, you argue and insult particular players and call for reports. Are these things you do in recent games? If not, talk with support and try to get a better example from your games from the past 3 weeks.

I don't call for reports. Ever. I just inform that I will report someone. In recent games? I probably behave the same. What's the point of trying if I'm already punished? But my teammates and friends flame way harder than me and they are level 4
