Problem with honor system penalty

So, today l got account penalty and my honor lvl is now 0. l looked around the internet to see if my honor will reset with season 9 and strangely enough it does not. Now you may ask 'When will he start talking about the title' Now! So in my eyes, there are few problems with the current honor penalty and one of them is that the current penalty much let me explain. Your basic flame penalty is the honor lock, honor level reduction and for me,10 games chat ban. Now you may ask 'What did he do or say to deserve such a harsh penalty' or something like that, well..... l flamed in some games. By flame, l mean saying stuff like: noob, you are bad and not very often idiot. Now did l deserve penalty mentioned above, well it depends, on the one side l said some bad things but when you look at the other side like in real life to make flame you need something or someone to start the fire. For example in many ranked games l played there was that 1 guy who is mid main mostly Zed/Yasuo(Cuz we all know they are toxic) that were assigned support for that game, and what do they do? Well, ofc they pick their mains and go mid cuz why not! You see where l am going right? Do these people deserve to be called idiots? Well, ofc they do! But what happens when you call him/her an idiot? (Support troll): /all x9 (me) for flame!!! Yes, that's the true story.LOL as a game is full of toxic people and trolls, the only way to prevent flame in game is to punished people who start all of it. l am not one of the people who will flame at you for being bad,l may make few jokes about it but l will not flame you, sadly l can't say that for a lot of people who flame just so they can flame. Thing is all penalty you were given are given by a bot that just look for any bad words you said in the game if you were reported few times and will give you penalty out of context. Also, dont let me start on premade groups that will report you instantly. Now how would l fix these problems? Good question! First honor level 0 and 1 need to be removed its soo hard to grind honor even if you are perfect human being that does not flame at all, it took me a month or more to get only 1 checkpoint of honor level 1 and l played few hours a day every day and got honored a lot. By removing level 0 and 1 will make it so that players will not be soo much behind others. Now l am not saying that people should not get any penalty for flame and thats why l would double or even triple honor lock time so that you stay on honor 2 but you will need to play nice for much longer to unlock all rewards back also if you are higher honor than 2 you can still stop back to 2. That is one problem fixed now next one is how easy it is to get a penalty. For this l would just make it so that people would not get a penalty so fast for just saying stuff like: stupid, bad, noob, idiot ( l mean if you need to report someone for saying these words few times in match you should not play online games) But people who say stuff like: 'Get cancer and die,l hope your mother gets cancer and die, l f your mum, kill yourself' should get penalty fast. In the current game, these 2 types are treated the same and that's not ok.

Wow that took a while to write, if your read all of this, good job and you really don't have anything better to do(That's a joke) PS l am sure l made many grammar mistakes, l tried to write as fast as possible. Also, dont write "You flamed and now you get what you deserve" type of comments cuz o really hate them if you want to have a normal discussion about this topic l would be happy to talk.

The system already treats them differently.

The Machine Learning part of the verbal system does not judge the hate speech part of the system and vice versa. That's the reason why there are 2 separate categories of reports, cos different reports trigger different reviews.

just don't get penalized. just say little one liners like "no u" if someone calls your bad or flames you! don't tilt it's never worth flaming someone back. i got really heated as i've lost like 30 games of ranked recently. demoted a few times and i can't improve. bad things happen but reinvent yourself. i only read like the first two paragraphs but hopefully this helps.

Do these people deserve to be called idiots? Well, ofc they do!

That is where you and Riot disagree. I don't think Riot sees ANY value in negativity.

Personally, I can get behind more lenient honor levels. Currently, it feels like positive behavior is not being recognized. IMO.

Remove honor lvl 0 and 1 would be stupid. Cause if we would do that the no honor lvl 2 no ranked rewards would have no point. Sins as you sugest to remove 0 and 1 people would be honor lvl 2 anyway. Further more first you admitted you flamed sombody and than you dont wanna hear it ? Sorry buddy but thats not how this works. I mean idiots or no idiots we dont have the right to insult fellow players. Always try to play with respect and if acts negatif mute and report and move on. When you maked the account you agreed to there rules. It dont matter or you think they derserve it or not. Its about what riot finds okay and thats not calling sombody a idiot.
