Does anyone else feel like the 10 game chat restriction is way to harsh on your honor level?

So earlier today, I got a 10 game chat restriction for being toxic i guess. i only said shut up to my mid laner and was arguing who's fault it was that we were losing. normal league stuff. Im not even worried about the chat restriction to be honest, it will help me with being more tolerate and learning to ignore people better. but man that dishonorable stuff takes sooooooo long to complete. last time it was 6 months for me. If you think about it. it takes almost half a season if you play 2 to 3 games daily like i used to. I dont know if its just me but i feel like this checkpoint system is just way too harsh. isnt this supposed to be a slap on the wrist. not a kick to the face?

Honestly, I do agree with this one. I still maintain that getting a chat restriction really takes some doing in this game, and most folks should know better, but for a first offense, hitting your honor level right off the bat does feel a bit harsh.

to be fair i think the 10 game CR should only lock your honor. at the current lv youre at. i dont think it should drop you alrdy. imo.

The entire honor system is too harsh. Let's say you got chat restriction for being toxic in 10 games. Then you decide to change your ways. You are very respectful and "honorable" for 50 games (note this is literally 25 hours of game time MINIMUM). If you see no improvement in your "honor score" you WILL fall back into your old ways.

the punishment system has screwed me over out of getting rank 3 honor. twice.

Here's the thing: if you don't like the punishments, don't get punished. That's about the simplest concept there is.

I think a chat restriction should at most bring you 1 honor level down and not slow the climbing process at all. And I have never been punished for anything. Maybe a warning back in season 4 or something. But just the warning not even a chat ban. Honor climbing feels so off even if you are not dishonorable. The whole system needs clarity and specific checkpoints in my opinion. Since hitting honor 5 I am getting those orbs and I have ended up with a key/key fragment surplus that i never had before. (and I have gotten all chests on spawn or a day later) Is this intended to make us buy chests?

I think the dropping of the honor is fine, the amount of games required to get out is fine as well.

What I have problem with it's the clarity of the punishment system. Give people a warning or something to give them a chance to fix their attitudes before you hit them with something that is now considered a kick in the face instead of a slap on the wrist from back in the days.

It's no harsher than you are to other players who had to deal with your toxicity. The system is there to change your perceptive of your attitude and how you're treating others. It's there to show there are consequences to your actions. Because for the next 3 penalty tiers, they want people to reform. On their 4th tier, Riot wants them gone. Literally.

So no, it's not harsh, and yes it is fair.

This one I can agree with. Maybe if you are only mildly toxic to just get the lowest form of punishment (the 10 CR), should only drop you to honor 2 and lock it. Then if you get 25 CR, you drop to honor 1, and 14-day to 0.

You asked the wrong question in your poll. You asked if it was FAIR. It is absolutely fair. Everyone is treated equally by it, thus it is fair.

Is it IDEAL? No. And I believe it is actually changing next season. I think they're changing it so you earn progress towards your rewards as you play the game, but if you're below a certain honour threshold you simply don't earn any new progress until you get back up to the threshold. You don't lose anything you've already learned, and you don't LOSE any progress... if I'm understanding what they've said correctly.

well being punished is showing that you are dishonorable and need to re-earn it /show that you are honorable

It forces you to make different responses to toxicity than you did before. If you continue to enter games and reproduce the same attitude and mistakes that got you chat restricted, you'll probably just get the ban placed back on you.

If it helps you any better, I'm completely positive that if you carry a couple of matches, you will probably get honored by everyone on your team. I think I was chat restricted maybe a week or so ago. My honor is back, just the grind to get it back to level 3 is gonna be hard.

Nah

It is harsh to be kicked down to level 0, agreed. But if it's "normal league stuff" like cussing or "shut up" you won't get punished for doing that 1 or 2 games. If you consistantly chatting like that it will be punished, and tbh it is toxic.

i do believe that your honor level in general going from 2 to o and so on takes a extended ammount of time to get back to 2 because i have been dishonerbale for quite some time probs baout 3 mminths since ive been trying to get it back up and im only at checkpoint 1 which is insane

You don't receive a penalty for a single game unless you say some pretty extreme things. You receive penalties for patterns of negativity, the games in your penalty must bring the latest examples.
