Does my dishonorable status punish me indefinately?

_**TL;DR

Riot, stop matching me with pre-mades so much, they are more commonly toxic. Is this matching due to my honor level? **_

        It feels like my honor level 0 status is truly affecting every single game I play. This is particularly unfair because I was given an honor level or zero after being reported while being penalized. The story is unimportant, because why my honor is at zero currently is not really of importance (but a case could be made against such, clearly).

       **The bottom line is, I have been matched with pre-mades of 3 or 4 almost every single game throughout the preseason and much of the regular season.** The abuse that I regularly endure is getting to be irritating, because I ultimately end up reporting these peoples for their various messed up actions. For example, calling my family members gay (which is more of an annoyance than an insult, but it's still reportable for a variety of reasons), baiting me into fights or similar behavior where I am intentionally left alone to die for the amusement of the pre-made (it's hard to describe, but as a support main you can imagine how this could occur), flat out spam pinging me until I have to mute my entire team, and most commonly, general bullying where they all harrass me and threaten to report me as a team.

It's not as much that I'm asking Riot to deal with these individual people, as that would be pointless, difficult, and most importantly not addressing the problem.** I simply want to be matched with pre-mades for less frequently. **

Perhaps I am being punished for having the lowest honor level, by only being matched with the most toxic players, or simply matched with pre-mades. If that is the case, which I suppose makes sense, for how long must I endure such?

I have been at honor level 0 for at least 2 months now, and have received a ton of honor since then with no promotion.

**I wonder if Riot is:

A) punishing the wrong people in the wrong way, and

B) Being a little too unforgiving on those of us unlucky enough to be slapped with the ban hammer.**

A) No

B) And no. Luck had nothing to do with someone getting banned, as a side note.

being banned is not part of luck.

First of all, premade has nothing to do with your own toxicity problems and their reports don't matter if there's nothing to report. It is only you that can control your own anger, frustration, and self-control. No one else and most certainly not luck. I've been matched with premade all the time, and they're toxic to me when I do get matched up with the bad ones. I don't respond back is all. Still Honor 4. So no, they're not punishing the wrong people. It's you.

Secondly, Riot has tried to be more forgiving, and your type screwed Riot many times over. They learned their lessons and they're not going to be forgiving nor be lifting any punishments that are at faults.

That concludes to this, you just need to stop responding to toxicity, if you do get banned you deserve it. You are responsible for your own actions. Whatever punishments you get, it's because you deserve it. You are not obligated to respond to toxicity and if you lack the self-control to help yourself, then this game isn't for you.

A) punishing the wrong people in the wrong way,

Based on what reds have said, their current system is pretty good compared to their old system of indefinitely extending chat restrictions. They say that their numbers are better and although the punished people become more upset, the people who are not being punished seem to be reporting overall better player base experiences.

Personally, I played for many many years and I find this current environment of 30+ much better than like season 2 30+.

and

B) Being a little too unforgiving on those of us unlucky enough to be slapped with the ban hammer.**

The dishonorable doesn't last forever if you aren't dishonorable. Don't be dishonorable and you'll get out of it.

lmagine the current system as a rating of 0-10 for each reported game for toxicity

0 = not toxic 1 to 3 = toxic but very mildly toxic but not enough for a chat restriction 4 to 9 = toxic ready for punishment 10 = Punishment escalation.

If you're getting reported and you're scoring a 1, 2, or 3 on your games, it still keeps in dishonorable. If you get a 0, you're golden and you'll progress out of dishonorable status.

It seems like no one who posts replies in this section has any intention to help the authors of the threads. I suppose I should thank you two for your feedback, but honestly, neither one of you were helpful.

No one on here has that kind of information. Ask in a support ticket or something.
