Soo i have been muted for 4-5 days of chat restriction i was about sevral honors away from honor 5 and just because i was getting tilded because i was getting targeted. okay i get its bad but over all is the sistem of BANNING and PUNISHING someone have to be that cruel to players honor system

from honor lvl 4 to 0 I just seconds. i paniced because i cant get NOW in 10 days honor lvl 2 since riot has their way of saying that you are a terrible person for this community.. i doubt that i will get honor lvl 2 in time for me to recieve the season rewards THAT I WORKED SO HARD TO GET..

Legit i am was nolifing ranked to get to platinum since i was to get there and its cool. but it was all worth for NOTHING. since i cant get the rewards i was soo happy to finaly get!

i dont understand that the SLIGHTEST of the punishments lead to you losing ur honor to 0 like no matter what you still lose

Riot doesn't want to ballance it since its new and its "perfect" in their specific way as if one argues no riot employee will listen but if more that 10-20 people post the same thing its a serious thing like the skin shard dissapearing that i still to this day i didn't get back ofc.

A small punishment like a very small punishemt, even a warning would lead to you losing ur honor level and as in ballancing i mean to next to a small punishement you go one honor lvl down or two but WHOLE 4 OR 5 FOR A CHAT RESTRICTION i have seen people spam the chat in anger and saying things i thaught i couldn't see in chat but there still there and the player is obviously not banned or punnished as far as i saw them telling me to "cut my life in half", you know what i mean by that. since i probably cant even say that here knowing that i will be a moved on threat and locked.

Soo many god damn games i spent having fun even towards toxic players that in the end the found it FUNNY. and after this one time riots system decided to punish me becuase i am VERY toxic player for the communty and i deserve a mute, ohh what joy that is.

even if i cry about it here my honor level probably wont return, but just a quick note that i just said what i wanted to say, i am not insulting anyone with this but its just wrong to cut down someones efforts to a mere zero after months and months of doing something u thaught it was FUN

over all the game is unballanced in its ways but still fun to play when bored.

BYE.

Since there are a fair number of issues and misconceptions and arguments brought up across the whole of this post, I want to at least point out one thing in specific before actually discussing anything else, and that's this:

This fundamental punishment of having your End of Season rewards revoked if you got punished at the end of the season is not new. It wasn't randomly introduced with Honor 2.0, it's been there since even before it. The only difference is that before Honor 2.0, it was tied to a specific cutoff date where if you got punished after it or had an active punishment during it, you'd lose rewards, whereas with Honor 2.0 it's tied to your Honor Level at the end of the season.

And just to make it abundantly clear: This is not new. It has always been a thing, and it was not some random extraneous "haha fuck you" punishment tacked on with the Honor System; getting punished at the tail-end of the season has, as far as I've seen in my roughly 5~ years of playing, always resulted in loss of End-of-Season rewards.

Now that that little clarification is out of the way, let's get on to actual meat of the post;

No; it's their way of saying "look, Ranked play is supposed to be competitive, and competition requires a degree of sportsmanship."

They don't require much of people; just be Honor Level 2 (the baseline Honor Level) by Season's end, and you'll be eligible for rewards.

And, at the end of the day, if you start cracking under pressure and becoming toxic when the end of the season comes around, then frankly, you're not a sportsmanlike player. Yes, it sucks to be constantly targeted by other players, but that does not excuse you from breaking down and breaking the rules.

You have the mute feature, you have the report feature, use them. If people start flaming you or targeting you or whatever else, mute them. If you're finding yourself getting bent out of shape over a rough string of matches, take breaks. You have ample tools to keep your composure at your disposal, if you don't use them and wind up letting everything get to you, then, sorry to say, that's your fault.

i dont understand that the SLIGHTEST of the punishments lead to you losing ur honor to 0 like no matter what you still lose

Typically, the first Chat Restriction (10 games) will only drop you to Honor Level 1. It's often the second Chat Restriction (25 games) or a temporary ban that would put you immediately to Honor Level 0.

A small punishment like a very small punishemt, even a warning would lead to you losing ur honor level...

  1. They don't do warnings.
  2. As above; the first punishment (unless it's a temporary ban, in the event of behavior that would warrant an escalated punishment) will only drop you to Honor Level 1. You don't get dropped to Honor Level 0 unless you're either continuously misbehaving or behaving seriously poorly.

Riot doesn't want to ballance it...

...and as in ballancing i mean to next to a small punishement you go one honor lvl down or two but WHOLE 4 OR 5 FOR A CHAT RESTRICTION

Would it be better - or, at the very least, more satisfying - if you only lost one Honor Level per punishment? Maybe. But, for some players, that kind of punishment would lose its impact. They wouldn't have some potent sting to remind them "oh, fuck, I should probably do better about that" - if they're already Honor Level 4-5~, they're just going to shrug, take the Honor loss, and reclimb straight back up without concern for their behavior because such a minimal Honor drop wouldn't matter to them.

Dropping them to Honor Levels 0-1, though (depending on the punishment), making them "Dishonorable" and having them deal with the potential consequences thereof (inability to access Clash, ineligibility for End of Season Rewards if they don't reclimb to Honor 2 in time) gives a much, much more palpable sting. It'd give them pause when they realize "wait, I can lose my Ranked rewards because of this?" or even "Holy shit that's a huge drop".

And that's kind of the whole point of the punishment in the first place. To give players pause for their poor behavior, to make them realize that breaking the rules and being toxic has consequences.
