The Honour System Is Whack, Yo

So, last season I fell below to Honour 2, as my internet was faulty and I disconnected from games. Not that bad, I told myself, Season 8 and an honour reset is around the corner. Only for me to find out that only those above honour three would be receiving a reset. So, I decided the grind would be hard but bearable. Then I found out that the honour progression gain has been slown down greatly compared to before, as when it was implemented we were nearing the end of the season. It's been four months since the start of the season I'm still Honour Level 2 and on the first checkpoint. I haven't received any chat restrictions, I've honoured on most of my games and today was my first disconnect (because my brother disconnected my router) Honestly, that disconnection; knowing it removes some progression breaks me because I feel I'll be hard-locked into Honour 2 the whole fucking year and decade. Seasons come every 4 months, there's 3 checkpoints, I'm only on the first after four months, 4x3=12, there's no honour resets for 2 and 1, this means in theory I'll never get out of Honour 2. Do I have to sacrifice a goat or some crap?

I don't believe a one off disconnection is something that sets you back, as riot recognizes occasionally emergencies or uncontrollable factors happen. If it's something that (still) happens though that could be an issue though, at which point you'll probably want to look into seeing if you can find more reliable internet.

What can slow progress however is any borderline toxic chat or similar, as the system does pay attention to that sort of thing. Even if you're getting honoured plenty and not getting punished, if you're ever pushing things at all that can be noticed by the system and slow progress.

I am honor 3 right now....half way to honor 4. Judging by your level you do not really play enough to be high honor. I am lvl 73 at honor 3. Make sense?

I agree something is up with honors. I was Honor 5 last season and I'm getting even more honors this season and I'm starting to end up with better teams (personality wise and attitude wise) one of my friends who only started at honor lv 2 is now honor 3 when I know for a 100% fact I've honored more than him and have been less toxic. I don't know why but it just feel's like something is wrong with the honor system.
