How do you get honor back if everyone skips honors after a match ends?

So I just encountered a bot lane who had both honor 3 and honor 4 respectively. The Nami was honor 4 and the Draven was honor 3, both throughout the entire match however flamed one another repeatedly using curse words and being EXTREMELY toxic between one another, the Nami even resorting to racial slurs with the n word used multiple times. I was playing Kayle top lane and just told them both to "Calm down and breathe" "we got this. :)" I've been honor 0 checkpoint 1 out of 3 for many many months now and I try to be as positive as possible in ever game I play. The game ended with a very deserved victory (nearly 30k objective damage for me with 10k tower damage) but when the game ended my entire team, who flamed one another all game, said no one on the team deserved honor, specifically the Nami and Draven both who flamed each other all game long... I just am curious how is it possible to gain honor if no one wants to honor at the end of the game, people just press skip and that's another game where I can't regain honor while being as honorable as I possibly can. I barely type every match and if I do it's to calm others down or to make strategic calls to my team. It's really annoying that I see people who do have honor 3 and 4 nevertheless flame people constantly throughout the match being some of the most toxic people I've met recently. They both got reported by me for using words they shouldn't have but it just honestly seems unfair. Thanks for any advice, Lust <3

I see your name and immediately picture Lust from FMA, which then makes me want to watch said series. That or 7 Deadly Sins.

Anyways, it sucks when people completely skip out, but you can still honor someone. When you honor someone, you also get some progress. Albeit not a lot, but some nonetheless.

You just play. People honoring you doesn't make it go any faster.

I'd recommend that you don't speak at all. Do not interfere with toxic players going at each other's throats. Because, when all they see is red, you attracting attention isn't going to put you in their good books even if you do carry the game. Its alright to calm down frustrated players because they probably don't understand why things are going wrong or are worried that their teammates will blame them. These kinds will take a more welcoming approach to your interference. But definitely not toxic players.

Because its main goal is to make you play thousands of games, not to promote fair play. That's why: you can't honor enemies; you can't honor several people; you get to high honor levels only after TONS of games.

And, if you don't get banned, you will raise anyway, since there's no "low key" system to discourage bad behaviours, besides the ban (chat, weeks, perma etc.) system, who works in a very approximate way.

There is some passive honor gain, but I would also suggest trying to find some reason to give honor. If everyone gives honor, there's a small team bonus.

And, as an additional bonus, if you look to honor teammates, I think you'll find the game becoming a little less toxic.
