Honor LVL 0 to LVL 2. MOM GET THE CAMERA!!! (tips&tricks I used to get there)

Hey guys, so I have quite some experience with getting bans and stuff due to being toxic or just negative overall. I have like 3 permas and had one account left at a 14 day, so I just created a new one and moved on, and here we are. So, if you are were I was 2 months ago (yeah just 2 months ikr) and just got a 10 game chat restriction that dragged back your honor all the way to lvl 0, and now you basically have given up on trying to get back to lvl 2, because of how impossibly long it seems to take to get it back, I have some quick tips you can use to get back to your honorable well behaved self:

1. This one here is pretty much the most important; YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSING YOUR GAMES! Ik Ik i'm coming off as a bit aggressive but hear me out. I, like anyone, used to get really worked up in games when ex. enemy gets first blood, jungler ints in enemy jgl, adc goes in 2v1 without the supp. Ya know, the usual antics. When stuff like that used to happen my mood just immediately shifts, and I either lose hope at stuff at like min 2 sometimes. or I just flame the person feeding throughout the game, HARD. Because I get it, its annoying having a team that **YOU **feel is worse than you, or having an afk in different cases (more on that later). But, and I know this sounds cheesy, I once had someone tell me: Your games are a reflection of your skills, if you are constantly losing, it is not because you're playing with so called noobs. the issue is with you, "YOU are the only one responsible and capable of winning/losing a game". Once you have the mind set in place, you wont even want to flame, just try your best in your own lane and take your anger out at THESE TURRETS DAMN IT! ;). And believe me, in time you will get better that way.[darius-angry]

2. Anything happening in between 5-10 mins is pretty much irrelevant. What I mean is, if your team is doing bad during that duration and the jungler YI is already 5/0 and has 2 Items, TGIL: The Game Isn't Lost. Believe me I have had games with like 0 15 during that time and still managed to work through it. Not saying it is easy, but the key here is to TILT & INT. Wait what the fu^k is this guy saying? The key here is actually to not do either of these two things, Ever. Just relax and keep focused, mute out your team if you have to, and concentrate on winning late game. Just avoid even bothering to flame or grief. Also, CC that yi to the death man!

3. Play with a friend! Ik not everyone plays league, but if you have someone you know can keep a cool head, play with them. Duo with them. Win with them. **Flame with them. ** Jajajaja isn't this post supposed to give me honor back? It is. What i mean by that is try your best efforts to use league voice, Discord, any calling service, if possible. this way, if you really want to flame, just vent about your team to your duo partner, not in chat. BONUS: if that player is not toxic, he will help you improve your attitude and in time it will rub off on ya! Worked for me like magic! Shoutout Goolarenz! More bonus ;) if the guy/girl is good, that is one less inter you'd have to worry about (but point is dw bout them, focus on yourself)

4. UnBiNd EnTeR. I'm guessing if you're reading this, you probably saw that suggestion and thought, nah bs wont work on me, well guess what, it will! If you are like me and do not want to feel lonely in chat, I suggest using this (need clarification if this could result in a report for 3rd Party pls). I used an unbind enter script (PLS don't ban me rito I'm not using it anymore :P) when I first got off my restriction. At first I unbinded directly at min 1 and gradually I started letting people in chat without unbinding until someone started flaming or I felt like I was gonna start doing so. Bit by bit I became more chill with what people type in chat, as I got used to seeing them flame and not reply, because my enter was unbinded. Furthermore, I became more accepting of muting people if they were so toxic it affected my mentality (0/3 yasuo please report this noob for inting jajaja I do not need to read that, MUTE!) At the end of the day, you gotta remember that its just one game out of many, and its not worth getting reported over something so silly.

   PS. If you have a customizable keyboard, try binding the script to a certain key, that way you can just press it once and it unbinds enter directly. Warning: might have to restart the client to get back the ability to chat so, at your own peril.

5. Never ever ever ever EVER ff at 15-20 unless you have 2 afks, Its always winnable, just avoid griefing in chat and play your own game in lane. Always. Even if you lose, you have not lost honor and could probably rack up a few honors for being positive.

6. Just play as best you can honestly, people usually honor others either way whether they lose or not (I do that at least, y'all should too lmao) and perhaps you could get lucky and get one or two!

7. (Optional) Mute the enemy team if you have to. Only reason they would want to talk to you is either to harass, tell you to report their afk , or just be toxic. Of course I am just taking the worst case scenario here, they usually are friendly and do not talk that much, but just disable all chat in settings for a while and see how it goes I guess.[sg-janna]

8. ** NEVER ASK ENEMY TEAM TO REPORT SOMEONE!!!!!!!!** This one is vital to you not getting a penalty if some salty adc reported you for nothing. I once got a chat restriction (my most recent one I think, and hopefully the last. Was 2 months ago :D ) just because I told the enemy to report someone who was like, as toxic as and mixed together, but I took the fall. So do not bother. I asked a riot employee about this and they told me, 1 report, 9 reports, same difference. So please, no more x9 pyke for ks your'e getting the gold for god's sake!

9. Honor others! Spread the love people! I believe honoring other players simply gives your account a more positive light in rito's eyes (I hope at least, I have been honoring some questionable players sometimes xD) So if you do not get honored, you honored someone, and if you all honored someone, you get a lil somethin too! Worked for me so far :P

10. One last thing, just chillax dude. I got to the point where I have a decent amount of games with trolls ,afks, feeders, and the like, and to be honest, I try my best everytime to help them but if we do not win I tried my best at the end of the day so ¯\(ツ)/¯. Usually people surprise you at how they come back in late game, so do not lose hope, and don't bother flaming because that sh**t* ain't worth it. Otherwise the game ends and you realize you fed more than the person you flamed cries.

So! This is it for my tips based on my experience. For those who care, I just reached honor lvl 2, and felt inspired to share my journey throughout the dangerous lands of honor lvl 1 checkpoints :P. I hope this helps someone, because it was exactly what I could have used when I was in a bad place! Please do not hesitate to give me feedback on my methods above, and I hope you all get to lvl 2 this year![slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Quick Edit: I know this kind of defeats the purpose, and please do not abuse this, but I think reporting people who DESERVE a report, not just randomly or for petty stuff, would help as well, as you are contributing more to the community and riot recognizes this as they send you the instant feedback report. So do not report everyone and try your best to avoid doing so, but if need be, report a flamer, but please be fair when you do! Do not get too worked up about their toxicity unless its actually really rude or constant all game.
