Honor should be based on season behavior, not END of season behavior

I know some people who have been honor locked honor 0 two and 3 times and are still back at honor 2 and will receive rewards, yet there are people who get knocked down from honor 4-5 who have been good all season and are now at honor 0-1 right before the season ends. I think something should be done before end of season to address this.

Thoughts?

@riot?

It's hard to swallow, but let me explain this as short as possible: If you do not misbehave you will not be punished.

You know when the season ends and you know what happens if you now start flaming, inting or whatever. It sounds easy and it actually is - if you have at least a tiny bit of self-control - super easy: Just don't do stupid things at the end of the season.

It's like in real life. You know it is almost Christmas. You know that you want to spend time with your family. You also just robbed a bank and will end up in jail. No more christmas with family.

Is it now the state's fault that they locked you away at Christmas eve, although you did not break the law for the rest of the year?

do you know why that is?

because different people have different definitions of "reforming" and riot only cares about the ones that don't employ any sort of toxicity, despite still actively using the chat.

It's always been that end-of-season behavior affects your reward status, where ending with a chat restriction or ban during the last 3 months would make you ineligible.

This still encourages reform, because if you get a punishment earlier in the season, you'll still have time to reform and get back to honor 2.

So is the end of a season not part off the season? In my book, the end of something is still part of that something. The end of a movie is still part of a that movie, for instance.

Maybe your request should be:

Honor should be based on the beginning an middle parts of the season behavior, not END of season behavior

That seems to be more in line with your reasoning. If that is your request, then I, wholeheartedly disagree.

How about, if you're not toxic all season long, you stay not toxic towards the end of the season, and DON'T get punished in the first place? Just a thought....

It already is. Honor 0 to honor 2 is like 120-180 days.
