Riot says they won't unban accounts because we aren't famous streamers like Tyler1. Another tidbit, why did riot make it so difficult to earn honor in season 8 than in season 7? Maybe because riot doesn't like to give out free things in this game where they designed it to make them as much money possible with little effort on their part. Overall Riot has its own interests at heart not ours or they would consider unbanning non famous players' accounts for behavior bans but we don't bring in as much money as Tyler1 so why would they.

Not a single one of Tyler's accounts was unbanned. They simply stopped banning his accounts on sight.

You'll have grounds to complain about unequal treatment once Riot starts banning your accounts on sight. But until then...

Honor is more difficult to earn in season 8 than in season 7 because the honor system came out mid or late into season 7. Rito accelerate honor gain in season 7 to make up for lost time. We have a full season 8 with the honor system so honor gain understandably slowed. You have a whole year to get to honor 5....

Also, the honor system is new. It is not surprising that Rito will want to tweak it here and there to see how it fits. I would not be surprise at all if the honor system in season 9 is different than season 8 after they have sufficient data from season 8 to evolve it.

While I personally don't agree with the unbanning of tyler1 (Even if he isn't being toxic now), he wasn't permabanned from playing the game, he was permabanned from streaming it, none of his accounts that were permabanned were reinstated thus, he made new accounts to play which is totally in the rules.

Side note, honor isn't any easier or harder to gain then last season unless you were punished and your honor was reset.

A fair point. A rioter is probably going to take it down though cause you're talking bad about their game.

Source? 'Cause I've never seen Riot say anything along the lines of "famous streamers can be unbanned but regular players can't", and you're also (wilfully or otherwise) disregarding the fact that Tyler1's case was an ID ban, not a traditional permanent ban - and that none of his banned accounts were unbanned.

Riot doesn't consider banning any player's account unless the ban was placed in error.

And, for the Honor thing - zPOOPz's right. Riot mentioned somewhere early on after reworking Honor that Honor gains were expedited for 2017 since the rework happened half-way through the year - the Honor progress has been slowed to an appropriate amount so as to make getting Honor 5 more of a year-long thing.

Riot doesn't HAVE to give out free anything in this game. The fact that they constantly update and rebalance the game, invent new game modes and oversee production of new ideas without money from forced payments is great. I got an assload of skins from Riot for absolutely no cost through hextech chests. They are trying to make money, but they make it pretty easy to never have to spend a dime if you so choose. Hell, getting rid of the old rune system is actually the opposite of what you're suggesting is happening.

Because honor was only out half of last season, ranking it up had to happen faster so people could get to honor 5 by the end of the season. This season there is much more time to rank up.

No shit, they are a business, that's how businesses work.

I'm not addressing the T1 crap because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about in that regard.

I agree. A friend of mine was banned a few years ago for being toxic. He deserved it, don't get me wrong. But, about 6 months ago he contacted support and after a few days they got back to him saying that he was unbanned. He played on the account with me for a couple days then got an email saying that they made a mistake and accidentally unbanned all of his accounts so he needs to be banned again. So they unbanned his old account from season 1 and rebanned it.

As for the honour. When the new honour system came out I got honour level 5 in about a month or so. Now I've been playing everyday, at least 5 or 6 games per day, since season start and have only gotten to level 3 checkpoint 0. I do like how leveling up feels more like a challenge, but I would like to know my EXACT progress like LP for my rank. Maybe HP, Honour Points. At 100 points you get your next checkpoint.
