I think this might be a difference between what you view negative vs what Riot views as negative.

If you're reported and the IFS views your game as slightly toxic but not toxic enough for a chat restriction, your honor gain gets set back.

So, if you and your dad are playing equal number of games, you may be slightly toxic while your dad is not toxic at all and thus why he is at a higher honor level than you even though neither of you have been punished.

I do my best to not be toxic. Its very rare that I'm even threatened to be reported. If i have been punished it should be riots job to let me know that I have been punished and tell my why instead of leaving me in the dark.

You aren't being punished though.

Lets for example rate the games from like 0 to 10 for toxicity when you get reported.

If you have level 0 toxicity, that means it's a clean game and you're gaining honor If you have level 1-2 toxicity, that means you're ever so slightly toxic. It isn't going to earn you a chat restriction, but it will slow your honor gain. If you have level 3-4 toxicity, you will get a 10 game chat restriction and you'll lose honor If you have a 5-6, you will get a 25 game chat restriction escalation and you'll lose honor If you have a 7-8, you will get a 14 day ban escalation and you'll lose honor If you have a 9-10, you will have a permaban escalation.

You might be getting 1's and 2's and not know it. I rarely tell people I'm going to report them because it tends to set them off more and create a more toxic environment.

Y'all don't have a 1:1 ratio of games. There are some games at least where you play and he doesn't.

Your progress can be slowed or reversed if you're negative in games.

I do play more games than him but i'm never negative. I do my best to stay positive and if I start to tilt I just mute people. I'm still not understanding.

As far as I can tell, honor level growth is impacted more by avoiding being reported for negativity than by accumulating post-game honors. You can negatively impact your honor level growth through negative behavior, even when it isn't enough to trigger a chat restriction or other punishment.

Critical question: What honor level were each of you last season? Folks ending season 7 with honor 3-5 got extra checkpoints. Since you're only on your first checkpoint within honor 2, I assume you ended last season at honor 2 or 3. If your step dad was at honor 4 or 5, he'd have a massive head start towards honor 3 compared to you, which would explain this discrepancy.

we both started this season with the same honors. I do my best to not be toxic or tilt. we try to stay positive and there are times when my stepdad is actually more toxic than me.

Both of you ended last season at exactly Honor 2?

I'm not saying it's impossible, but just about everybody I know was either up at honor 3-5 or stuck in honor 0-1. Were both of you inactive after the new system was introduced or something?

I find it funny. I JUST reached checkpoint two.... an hour after this thread was made. Not complaining but makes me feel like this could be because I finally said something. [slayer-jinx-unamused]
