Is there a way to unlock "locked" honor?

DunkeyDunks··9 votes·28,660 views

Last season i was honor 5, but i had a couple of games where i said things i shouldn't have and now my honor is locked. I have been on my best behavior and getting lots of honor votes, but I'm worried my honor will stay locked and i can't redeem myself and get back to honor 5. Anyone know??

Several months of playing without any toxic behaviour, expedited if you show goodwill towards your teammates, and then everything I've read roughly a year after that is back to Honor 1 from 0. It's harsh and discouraging since Riot deliberately will tease you with messages like "we noticed you are demonstrating really good behaviour with your teammates, keep it up!" but do everything in their power to not show any sort of actual progresssion lest it "be abused for min/max toxicity".

Like, get a grip, Riot. People are generally good and your anal-retentive habits are going to dictate the vast majority of people who just play the game? This sounds passive-aggressive but as someone who stands by what he says and doesn't try to hide anything about what makes me, me, as the saying goes: "I call it like I see it" and Riot chooses to be more interested in acting like being the politically-correct, moral police who let legitimately destructive behaviour get a free pass FAR more often than when someone's precious feelings get hurt.

That seems to me like pretty sniveling coward bull-honky nonsense that skirts the fine line between being willfully ignorant and just plain stupid.

I got chat restricted for pointing out my team probably lost because we were all max silver against a full gold/plat team in ranked (YEAY for riots balanced system) and then pointing out to mf that we just tried to 3 man a baron like idiots instead of waiting for a good moment in a 4 vrs 5 to boot to try and baron.. and told her to 'stfu and stop blaming the jungler' According to riot, facts are toxicity and telling bullies to back down is toxicity.. Im starting to think someone should take some serious and drastic measures against riot for punishing people who speak up for themselves when bullied, they think pressing mute is a mature solution, but when someone holds a gun to your head, ignoring the bloody problem will not fix it or make it go away, especially when so many people who bully you during that game wont even get reported therefore punished.. especially when dealing with toxic premades! I Also got chat banned for telling a super toxic premade to please stop verbally abusing me me when i went out of my way to play what they prefered me to instead of what made me happy, and said i dont understand why you people are being AH towards me when im currently the only one who isnt feeding, it was nothing excessively rude or toxic.. Im sick of riots BS unjust ban system and the day someone steps forward and decides to take action against it, ill be there

i wrote kys, to a guy and his premades who abused me (flamed) they all reported me and riots trap snapped, 2 week ban, honor locked, playing since season 1, always been honorable, 3 little letters, kys and bam. Of course they hurt my feelings when i didnt get that double kill in mid i overreacted, but in my defense it was 3v1 and then that hard of a punishment, because of 1 game and 3 letters? Seems disproportional, and it seems it takes a year to get rewards again. All the years of takin crap from flamers and trolls and thats what u get for it.. no leeway, no justice, just riots nazi auto ban bot that bans because of 3 letters that are considered offensive, no warning, no second chance, instant criminal, branded for the rest of the accounts life, gg

OK... story time. I was in a game of norms, trying to enjoy myself after a stressful day. Unfortunately, our team's Lee Sin decided to flame chat, intentionally feed (I don't mean he was bad, I mean he ran under mid tower without attacking the enemy champ... twice) and went afk in little patches here and there. I was trying to organise a 9 stack report on the guy, and I will admit I was toxic to him in the process, but said nothing worse than what was said to me. Fast-forward to end-game lobby: The guy says "fun fact! If you report the people who report you, Riot disregards it". So I report him and move on with my life. When I log 30 mins later, I'm chat restricted, with the chat from that very game being the sample they gave me as to why. It took my honor level down to 1, and locked it. This happened about a month ago, no toxicity, and I'm still locked. Any reason why this may be?

Keep in mind that all but one person on my team was as irritated as I was, so this is a punishment from this guys return report alone.

I do understand why Riot is doing this though: Personally, I'm never going to be toxic again, even to people who flame me first. Being chat restricted really irritated me, especially because my first game being chat restricted I was laning top against someone who kept all chatting me and being friendly, and I had wanted to respond to them.

All you have to do is play to win and stay positive. Best thing to do is to mute all in games and it will unlock and climb back up over time, as anything slightly negative will hold it back (even if you aren't being punished)
