Honor level and Season Rewards.

Better Jungler·9/24/2017, 9:20:16 AM·2 votes·6,675 views

I was an asshole for the week the honor system changed, and got (rightfully) dropped to honor level 0 from HL 2. I have since reformed, played hundreds of games without any (known) reports or punishments, and am still honor level 0. I contacted support, and they were able to tell me "We see your behavior has improved, and congrats on that, but we cannot tell you how close to the next honor tier you are.)

which is fine, Im just wondering if I am Ineligible for End Of Season Rewards based on my honor level? It will be nearly 5 months (I think) since my HL dropped, and I'd hope that the amount of rewards im missing out on by being honor level 0 is punishment enough that they dont take away my victorious skin/gold border too.

This is what it says on the Support FAQ page about knowing how you are doing as far as moving up an Honor tier.

PENALTIES AND LOCKS How do I drop a level in Honor?

You’ll only drop if you receive a penalty. A chat restriction knocks your Honor level to 1, or 0 if you’re already at level 1. A two week suspension will drop your level to 0 (even if you were higher). In both cases, your honor progress will be locked, making your account ineligible for hextech crafting rewards. Your honor progress will unlock some time after your restriction as long as you show signs of reform.

What do you mean by lock my Honor level and rewards?

You'll see a lock on your Honor level in your profile. This means you aren't making any progress to the next level, and you won't receive any rewards. Unlock your Honor level by putting clean games in. You’ll get a notification when you’ve unlocked your Honor level.

What's the deal with level 1 and 0?

If you fall below level 2, you were hit with a penalty or two, and the first step is to put in clean games to unlock your Honor level. Once you do, your games help you climb back to better rewards, just like how it’s worked since Loot launched.

Are rewards cut for these levels?

At level 1, you earn many less key fragments than normal. At level 0, also known as Dishonorable, you earn nothing at all. It’s a bummer, but you can bounce back just by getting clean games in.

Basically, you will need to check your profile and see if it is still "locked" in the dishonorable phase. I know, not exactly the most helpful answer. So, I dug a bit more, and found the post from Player Support detailing Ranked Rewards Eligibility

In just under three months, the 2017 season will end and you’ll be getting rewards for the ranked tier you’ve reached. We'll have more details on what rewards to expect closer to the end of the season, but for now, we wanted to remind you how to stay eligible for rewards.

There are a few ways to miss out on this season’s rewards:

Players with bans or chat restrictions active when the season ends are ineligible for this year’s rewards. Players issued a ban of seven days or more from 8/22/2017 are ineligible for this year’s rewards. Players banned for boosting during the 2017 season remain ineligible for rewards. Players who experience fraud-related or erroneous bans will still be eligible. Keep playing ranked and fight with honor to make sure you earn your 2017 ranked bounty!

While I'm sure it's frustrating to try and act a certain way, with little to no feedback along the way, try not to be too discouraged. If your account is unlocked, and you are able to be promoted to a higher level. then you should be moved up. You are on the right track! Best of luck!

I don't think you can get end of season rewards once you reach honor level 0. Also you go down to honor level 1 and then get put at 0 if you continue to be toxic so i doubt you'll get honor level 1 anytime soon, well maybe soon since you've played hundreds of games. I think that if you're already dishonorable any reports whether or not you get punished will slow or stop your progression.

Honor Level is a separate reward for End of season.

Players can be Honor Level 2 and still receive end of season rewards. They wont receive any rewards for Honor, though.

Honor Levels 3,4, and 5 will receive the end of season rewards for Honor.

However, if you got a 2 week banned within 3 months from the end of Season, you will not be eligible to receive any of the end of season rewards.

Here's the Ranked Rewards Eligibility for Season 7. https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011781068-2017-Ranked-Rewards-Eligibility
