Let's talk real for a sec regarding the honor system and reformation...

Yeah, I know. Reaching honor checkpoints is a slog. It's infinitely worse if you've been sent to 0 from a punishment. TBH though, it feels really good once you actually do hit a checkpoint, whether you're at level 0 or 2. When you first log in and see the message that you've rinally reached a checkpoint, it stirs a sort-of pride within you--a feeling that you're doing something right and positive. It raises the idea that maybe this game isn't just a mass of toxicity, and maybe you're not just stuck in a toxic hole. Despite how long it takes, you can do it.

That's not just a reflective thought, that's me to you. No matter how long it takes, I believe that you can do it. I know that the game is frustrating. It frustrates me to no end. I've got two perma-banned accounts because of how frustrating I get. But if I can reach the checkpoints, I know anybody else can. If you find yourself frustrated, tired, salty, don't be afraid to come to boards or even message Support. They too offer words of encouragement and conversation, believe it or not. We're not just here to play with or against each other. We're here to support each other too.

Keep up the good work, fellow Summoners. We can do it! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I mean It's not really about not being toxic, it's about not getting punished. I'm honor 4 cp 2, and I'm toxic almost regularly. There are toxic players that are even honor 5.

I have to laugh at how untrue this is.

For the most part, coming to the PB boards and saying that you're salty or been punished will expose you to indirect insults/belittling/disparaging attitude/hostile expressions etc. Ironically, PB is probably the most toxic sub board, maybe aside from Gameplay
