Fix the new honor system or remove it

I made honor 5 last season on two accounts and when they overhauled the new honor I had no problem getting honor 3 this season as I did under 20 games pretty easy. However I have been stuck in honor 3 with no progression with either check point or the honor itself. Now I am not normally toxic and I only afk in games when the client crashes and I cannot get back into the game for what ever reason. Plus I never int though I do sometimes play shitty or make bad engage calls but never inting. And since there is no progress bar or experience bar for either honor or the honor check points I found completely useless in the system if it does not have clarity like riot much likes too boast about having.

Honor is going to take longer to get than last season because it was introduced with only months in the year left. Now you'll probably only start seeing honor 5 half way through the year.

I've been able to get one check point so far into honor 3 playing a decent amount, but by the end of the year (probably much before) at this rate I'm still going to get to honor 5. If it was easy to get it wouldn't be much of an achievement.

They should look at it and re-evaluate if the rewards match the effort and what they are going for, but I think it's doing just fine.

I have to disagree with this. I understand and agree that with the previous system's implementation there were only a few months, but I play 3-5 games a day nearly every day, and I get at least one honor in every game (sometimes not but getting multiple honors in other games it evens out) and I have yet to advance even a single checkpoint. It's March so at this rate it is extremely unlikely that I will be able to make honor 5. I feel like playing 3-5 games a day is a reasonable amount, and if Riot is going to lock these kind of things behind some ridiculous play-wall, I just can't condone it. I shouldn't have to neglect my REAL life in order to get more play time in League so I can get the honor rank I deserve. Especially considering I continually get these dumb messages at log in like "30 out of your recent players thought you were fun to play with, here's a key fragment!" I have enough key fragments, can I please progress?
