Honor 3 vs Honor 4

Broke Homie Quan··80 votes·5,426 views

for some odd reason I was being more compensated for being in honor 3 compared to honor 4 at honor 3 nearly everytime I logged in after work I would log on and get about 2-4 key fragments every single time and I was even given a capsule but ive had honor 4 for for like maybe 2 weeks and ive only gotten like 2 key fragments whats up with that?

I'm honor 4 and I got a capsule, with Ryze in it, and I already have mastery 7 with him.

It still has the reset aspect of the old key drop system.

You have a certain chance to get drops, and that chance decreases with each consecutive drop.

I'm honor 4 and still haven't gotten a capsule, FeelsBadMan.

I've been one of the first to get Honor 3 and 4 among all my friends.

Getting no key fragments anymore, and I've only seen one honor capsule. Got a Poppy champion shard. Was a little miffed.

Great idea, executed so poorly.

Might be a limit on rewards being met while you were 3 and it didn't reset yet (best guess I can give tbh)

You don't need to be honored for key fragments, just don't be punished. You only get more frags for being honored multiple times in multiple games.

I was level 3 before my friend. He got level 4 before me (I barely play this game so maybe I don't get enough honors) ?

Never got a capsule, he got one.

He got Medieval Twitch

I think the rewards itself are randomly triggered, but as you rank up your honor you get more chances as for which rewards are available? I hear a lot of honor 1 and 2 getting almost twice the fragment than a honor 4 Player does, but i have yet to see anyone below a honor lvl 3 receive any capsules

it's because by the time you get honor level 3/4 you have already hit the soft cap for keys. For each key you get the chance of getting more keys goes down.

I haven't received any fragments OR even capsules and I've been honor 4 for some time now.

10 games per day. Honor 4 on the first day available. Got 3 key fragments. One time i only got one. Feeling great... The worst i guess is that there is no difference between 3 and 4. And if we are ban we go back to 0 whatever was our honor level. So yeah... I prefered the old system. At least i knew what i was getting and when. Everything in the first week.

I got two capsules while I was lvl 3 (don't get too excited one them had a champ shard of ryze, WEEEEEEEEEEEEE), but yeah nada since lvl 4. Even keys seem to drop less often.

yup

Either they lowered the keyfrag drop rate overall, or you already met your key drop limit. It has nothing to do with being lvl 4 vs lvl 3.

im still honor 3 and don't get so much key (not like i care tbh).

I'm honor 4 and got my capsule at honor 3. Can confirm that I've gotten less key frags since hitting 4 but I assume that's because the drop rate goes down as you get them.

crzymdscntst2 votes

The fact that there is a carryover drop limit is a bit concerning in itself for how it feels.

It's like getting punished for being almost too honorable that you get shards too quick.

Every 24hrs i login with Honor 2 i get 1 key fragment lol.

Here's some hard data from when I started recording my Key Fragment drops. I did not include Co-op games in my Honor 1.0 data but I did include them in my Honor 2.0 data.

Key Fragment drops seem to require either slightly more games or around the same amount of games as before.

  • Honor 1.0

  • 2/6 - 3/7 - 57 games, 10 Key Fragments

  • 3/8 - 4/6 - 26 games, 6 Key Fragments

  • 4/12 - 5/11 - 77 games, 11 Key Fragments

  • 5/12 - 6/11 - 98 games, 10 Key Fragments

  • 6/11 - 6/28 - 110 games, 11 Key Fragments

  • Honor 2.0

  • 7/31 - 8/29 - 161 games, 12 Key Fragments

  • 7/31 - 8/29 - 75 games, 9 Key Fragments (5 from Honor Capsule)

Now, looking at it from an Honor perspective:

  • 46 games at Honor Level 3, 3 Key Fragments (in two increments, 2 Fragments then 1 Fragment)
  • 14 games at Honor Level 4, 6 Key Fragments (in two increments, 5 Fragments from Honor Capsule then 1 Fragment)

I got the Honor Capsule very shortly after hitting Honor Level 4 so I think that the Capsule came from my games at level 3, since I didn't play any games between the time that I leveled up and the time I got my Capsule. I'm going to have to play more games at Honor Level 4 to see if Level 3 really has any benefit.

I picked up a capsule at 3, but not at 4. Key fragments fall like rain though.

Quepha2 votes

Riot just revealed that honor capsules still follow the 12 key fragment per month cap, so if you already hit the key drop cap when you hit honor level 4 it will be impossible for you to get honor capsules until next month.

Literally same lmao haven't gotten anything else so far.

Ok sure but why2 votes

Well, looks like I better flame my teammates a little bit just in case!

Skorch2 votes

That is because i BELIEVE keys are still limited month by month. They just arent random anymore. Since for a lot of people it took maybe 2 weeks to switch you earned most keys for the month already and probably wont get many more for a bit.

What are the different rewards for honor 3, honor 4, honor 5 anyway?

I have honor 4. Is the different colour flair the only difference lmao?

Dude, I don't even know what a capsule looks like.

powerbats2 votes

Level 3 capsule gave me a champ shard and lvl 4 capsule gave me a champ shard. It really sucks since I own all champs and the blue essences are worthless when you need orange to upgrade skins.

league of pidors2 votes

this isnt about honor level i think,Im honor 3 I get honored in EVERY SINGLE game(2-3 honors per game) and i didnt received any keys fragment for 10 days,I guess its riot.

Sardonic Sloth2 votes

FACT: you get 12 key fragments a timeframe of 28 days if you play enough, so if you have already dropped 6 in a timeframe of 1 week you will of course only get 6 in the following 21 days which may make it appear to you that your drop rate lessened

ALSO FACT: honor level 3 gives a SMALL chance to replace key fragments with honor capsules, but capsule drops are ABSOLUTELY random, they still count towards the 12 monthly key fragment limit and there is absolutely NO drop rate difference for keys between honor level 2, 3, 4 and 5 and for capsules between honor levels 3, 4 and 5

The 12 fragments per month rule still exists I believe.
