I still dont understand Honor

Well I am dishonorable XD for some reason I got it because I dodged queues when people are trolling and I mostly don't get honored because I don't like suck up to people like “GREAT JOB ADC REALLY GOT EM THERE” I just say ty, np, and gj that's it and I get honored every once in a while have you noticed that people with honor level 5 sometimes say more toxic things than you I don't get keys and stuff anymore because I don't say anything and when I dodge a queue I get dishonored? So basically to sum up my point what's the point I never get honored which is fine but when I dodge which doesn't happen a lot I turn dishonorable because I am not honored a lot I just want to play but I can't when I get nothing I mean it doesn't feel good to get an S because you get mastery tokens and look I got 0 chests, so I have no essence so yeah that's it I don't understand. Any help.

Queue dodging won't make your dishonourable, it'll just get you a pretty hefty queue timer (along with LP penalties). You only lose honour levels when you're actually punished for something. (For example, leaving an actual game, which is far worse than a simple queue dodge.) Are you sure you weren't ever chat restricted or had a temp ban?

You don't need to be particularly nice or talkative in games to get honour. I hardly say anything except GG at the end of games, and I got my honour 5 pretty much the first day people started getting it.

then how did it happen to me I was in a queue completely silent I decided to dodge because the other guy picked syndra jungle and I was not in the mood so I dodged now I am dishonorable?

You'd have to ask player support if you don't know what penalty you received, or riot tantram sometimes addresses these sorts of things over in player behaviour.

It wouldn't have be because of a queue dodge however since you don't get behaviour penalties for that, so if you just happened to dodge at the time you received your punishment it would've been a coincidence.

I've been playing every day, multiple games a day, begging for honors from my teammates and I'm still stuck at honor 2. I've never been punished for anything, I've had all 3 honor ribbons in the past, and my friends who don't even play and a person I know who just started playing the game fresh are levels above me in honor.

This seriously makes no sense at all and it's negatively affecting my gameplay.

It's not just about talking, it's also about the walking.

By walking, that means you have to be honorable through your gameplay as well.

Just because you don't say toxic things in chat doesn't mean you don't do them through your gameplay like deliberately KSing, stealing jungle camps when the jungler is right there, goofing around more than needed, repeatedly dying despite danger pings, not grouping up when it is time to do so, etc. Or perhaps you don't stand out in your game because you're just...kinda there.

You stand out by making good calls (even as a support) throughout the game either objective control, tower pushing, or grouping, sacrificing yourself for your teammate (when appropriate and not when giving the enemies an additional kill), clutch plays/saves, and so on.
