Is There An Honor Lvl 0 Bug?

Good day,

I currently am Honor Level 0 and have been for quite some time. I went and counted and have played over 120 games since this honor reduction due to a 25 game chat restriction. Since then have had no further violations. I do not recall seeing the system pop up telling me I've unlocked honor again, which I believe I read somewhere that this must occur before you actually start gaining honor, and until then it's just a time period of it being locked. However, I do leave my client up when I'm not around and thought maybe I had missed the pop up, since I feel that by now I should be able to be climbing out of this sewer.

Is there currently a bug where you can not leave honor lvl 0?

Thanks to anybody with information - I'm just curious about my situation.

No, there is no bug. You must exhibit sportsmanship in those games, and not have questionable behavior.

You frequently insult your teammates. Not enough to be penalized, but you're not going to gain honor progress while calling your teammates dipshits.

There are no known bugs that I am aware of. Most people seem to unlock the honor within a week or two of active playing. If that has not been the case for you, then one of two things is happening:

You aren't playing as actively as some other players.
You're getting reported at a just barely sub-punishment level - i.e. your behavior has improved slightly but you are still being validly reported in games.

I also was level 0 after a 2 week ban about 2 months ago. I hit level 1 the other day. I also play a lot, and have made great efforts to either not talk, or not be toxic.

You have to play either 500 games with no 4+ reports, or you have to wait 9 months.
