The Honor System

So I'd heard rumor, and then found a few RIOTer posts about the matter. Set off to find out for myself, which is sorta how this account got started initially.

I get honored, over and over and over. Near on every single game at least once, 2-4 times fairly often. I'm occasionally a sarcastic ass, but don't flame people, say any of the usual chat catch phrases that are popular now days, don't go AFK or Int.

Every 2-3 games, I run across a troll, who I decide to 'give advice to' in a purposely friendly and upbeat manner... and of course become the focus of their rage boner and they report me. Inidentally, despite the few hundred honors per month on average... I am barely into level 2 honor. Now then - RIOT has openly said on these forums that, if you are being reported - your honor leveling will slow, or even stop.

NOT if you are punished... I've never even been warned, let alone chat restricted or banned. Simply if people are reporting you, your honor gains will slow until it basically stops.

Here is the question. Considering the known toxicity of trolls in the community... WHY would you grant them the power to then limit, if not entirely nullify, yet ANOTHER rewards system for other players?

It's bad enough that trolling is common in games from ARAM, to Twisted Treeline, all the way up to people complaining about it in Diamond, making players lose out on those rewards. WHY would you then grant those same trolls power over yet another automated system? Lack of learning? No foresight? Wtf?

That's my question. I don't really give a crap about the honor rewards, but I -do- care that people are being allowed to be trolled even OUTSIDE of the games.
