Recently Punished? No End of Season Rewards For You!

Introducing the brand new genius honor system, where if you even get a small short chat ban, it becomes near impossible to get back up to honor 2 to unlock end of season rewards. Which makes it double as impossible if you manage to hit honor 0, so people who have worked their butt off in ranked, get nothing out of it. And for that reason i'm going to quit League of Legends. There is no point in grinding ranked everyday just to get rewards taken away. Riot treats players like it's kindergarten, absolutely ridiculous.

Even before the Honor System, getting punished would still make you ineligible for end-of-season rewards. Except, with the Honor System, that reward denial is actually more fair for players - 'cause rather than post a specific cut-off date late into the year to tell players "If you get punished around this time, no rewards for you", they're setting an easily achievable bar (baseline Honor, Honor Level 2) and telling players "stay this Honor Level, or reach this Honor Level if you've slipped, and you'll qualify for End of Season rewards."

As for this:

Riot treats players like it's kindergarten, absolutely ridiculous.

Actually, Riot treats you like a grown adult playing in a competitive environment. They expect you to be able to show neutral behavior at the very least, and not be "that guy" who goes off on people for no good reason.

If that's "treating players like it's Kindergarten" then...Oh, boy. You're not gonna like how things run outside of League.

The people who worked their butt off should've thought of the consequences when they broke the rules. Just sayin.

Maybe it's too harsh, maybe not. But let's not act like getting a chat restriction is something that just happens. Most people never get punished in this game. I can personally attest that neither I nor any of my League friends have had so much as a chat restriction since I started playing in early 2015.
