Riot fix Honor, Honor level 0 and 1 are too long this is ridiculous!

Back at the start of July I received a chat restriction for like 10 games and got my honor reset because I was flaming someone who was intentionally throwing my ranked game. He was literally doing everything in his power to get us to lose the game. So I flamed him for wasting all our time and being a prick cuz it was frustrating and my team was even on my side, but Im the one who gets the penalty..but whatever i'll except cuz i shouldnt have flamed him anyways i get that.

HOWEVER, I have played a tremendous amount of games since then and im only Honor level 1 checkpoint 1. Thats INSANE!!!!!!!!! I havent had any penalty since then. Im not sayin im perfect now but I dont flame people or say/do anything reportable. It should NOT take 4 whole months to be barely half way to honor level 2, its outrageous and unfair. Mind you the only reason i got my honor reset was from someone intentionally throwing my game who didnt even get penalized?!?!?

Riot this is ridiculous. I play this game 6 days a week for at least 3 hours a night and it shouldnt take this long to get back to good standing. And i know im gonna get some comment warriors saying. "If your validly reported it slows your honor, you need to honor someone after every game, u said u havent been perfect so you need to not type at all except good things, you need to play alot of games, etc.." I dont care about "maximizing my way to good standing" bc I already do, I honor after every game and i get at least like 2 honors myself from every game I play, I play all the time. And im nice to EVERY player unless they starting flaming someone and even then i dont say anything bad. But the issue im raising is not about optimizing my way to honor 2 (cuz i do) its the insane time it takes despite all that.

This is stupid and I feel like ive more then done my time of being under honor level 2 and riot your just beating a dead horse at this point by keeping my honor going up at this slow of a pace especially for the amount of games I play...

a little math to further my point: If im low balling it I play 6 days a week for a minimum of 3 hours like i said before. Thats 6 games a night assuming games avg 30minutes 36 games a week 576 games in a 4 month period.

Thats about 576 games and about 17,280 minutes/288 hours of playing!!! only honor 1 checkpoint 1?!?!?!?!?! There is NO excuse for taking THIS LONG to get back to honor level 2, absolutely 0.

I believe i deserve to be back at honor 2 by now along with others who are in my boat of playing many games in good standing who had 1 bad incident and I hope my story is heard and this is changed in a timely manner.

From other data I have seen, this seems unusually long. I can't see your chat logs or your in-game behavior, so I can't really comment on that, but nearly 600 Games should be enough to get your honor back to honor two, so I'm forced to believe that something that I don't have data on maybe going on here.

I've got my honor to level 2 by playing around 300 games. Then I got chat restricted for saying to report a troller. Lame.

At this point honor ranks are just pure luck

It’s not a grind. You actually have to demonstrate good behavior, not just games played.

Yup. I stopped talking and never flame teammates and yet I've never seen so much as honor progress.

You know what a crime violator do when the punishment/reformation given to him does not show an end or progress to it? They lose hope and say fuk it and just double down to its criminal activity,

This is what riots current honor system promotes. I would rather play with a guy faking being nice because he knows he will get shit cuz he see he is progressing, than a guy who literaly gave up and said i wont get shit anyway might as well fuk everyone's day

Plus i dont fuking know what is in riots mind thinking when they tought connecting honor with rank.

Rank by nature is competitive and no fukin competitive game in the world dosnt have a little bit of flaming. Sometimes ppl int and feed on rank they sometimes do deserve to be flamed like srsly ppl play rank to be competitive and competitiveness requires effort and emotion to win. You should expect ur teammate to atleast do the carries calls and cooperate and not keep inting and doing their own shit like it isnt rank.

The system has a strange inconsistency where the punishment and honor system don't always match up.

You can be behaving "dishonorably" and stay at honor 0 or 1 literally forever even if you play 10K games. However, this doesn't mean you are playing negatively enough to warrant a punishment.

For instance, you can get a 14 day ban and drop to honor 0. Then you play 1K games with no penalty and never improving in honor. At this point, your punishment system has reset and your next punishment will be a 10 game chat restriction again.

180 day punishment after chat restriction is by design. Riot wants to restrict at least half the season for normal players when a punishment is issued.

I mean why even bother play ranked if you need to honor lvl 2. While we have actually no idea how we can progress in honor. I mean they dont need to tell us how it works but like indeed a bar would gif us at least the idea or we are doing good or not.[slayer-pantheon-rainbows]
