Probation period needs transparency

So I'm in probation period due to previous account suspension.

I've played on and off for a month and I have racked up 4 Friendly honors, 2 Helpful honors, 15 teamwork honors, and 1 honorable opponent honor.

And yet still I'm ineligible for loot due to previous behavioral suspension.

So how many honors do I need exactly? Do I need to give blood? Donate half my organs? Sell my soul to Riot?

Seriously I don't know what I need to do to get off probation period at this point and the game doesn't even tell you what you need to do or what it wants exactly, this is highly frustrating. If you want players to redeem their behavior, set them a goal to stride towards, like most rehabs do. Right now being stuck in probation period is like being lost in the middle of a desert with no ends in sight because you don't even know what you are supposed to do to get out of it or what you're doing wrong, it's annoying and disheartening and frankly makes probation period completely ineffective as a behavior correctional device.

As far as I know it is not based upon the number of honors you receive, but based upon a certain number of games played without receiving any further reports for behavioral infractions. Just keep playing the way you've been, and it will go away. It sounds as if you are doing everything right.

honors system has got nothing to do with you regaining hextech rewards or dropping punishment tiers.

Also, when you do regain hextech rewards, it doesn't mean that your punishment tier has dropped.

The reason probation period is not transparent is because of exploitation. Other reason is that you shouldn't be toxic, period, not just during the time you're on probation, and act otherwise when you get off probation.
