i feel like losing hextech rewards for a simple chat restriction is unfair. considering how easy to get one it is if you're not a freaking boyscout. and how FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON riot thought it was a good idea to take away the player behavior warnings. maybe make it so you get them back once your chat restriction is over
SmokedAlmonds3 votesWhy should people who can't behave be given free stuff?
It isn't like you lose eligibility forever, you have to earn your status back.

the complaint is that chat restrictions are essentially warnings. i can understand not having hextech until theyre over. but losing them for ean extended time is a bit harsh
SmokedAlmonds2 votesThey aren't essentially warnings, they are punishments.

lets not split hairs please
SmokedAlmonds1 votesIt is not splitting hairs. Chat restrictions are punishments. They are minor punishments and come with a warning that future offenses will lead to more severe punishments. But the chat restriction itself is unequivocally a punishment.
If chat restrictions were warnings I would agree with you, but they aren't.
Law of John1 votesEarn your status back, with 75% players (That I have ecountered) are more toxic than you or near it. See the problem?
SmokedAlmonds1 votesIf you got punished then 75% of players are not more toxic than you. But even if they were it wouldn't change anything. Other people's behavior has nothing to do with someone's punishment or hextech eligibility. People need to take responsibility for themselves.
Law of John2 votesI think it should be you cant earn rewards until your chat restriction s over, or a max of double your chat restriction games. The hextech is what keeps me playing. But since I cant earn anymore, I see NO reason to continue playing.
And since they said its games, me no longer playing = no chance to get outa reformed period. Its a broken mechanic that rito prob wont ever fix.
MegaManYYZ2 votesHow is that a broken dynamic? How would they know if you're better if you don't play any games?
CLG Monstarella1 votesI personally believe the only people that agree with the chat res/reward res are casuals.
I think the system is stupid, unfair and glaringly ridiculous.
The chat restriction is enough punishment with potential for ban. Further restrictions from one of the key new fun parts of the game is stupid af, if you disagree you're a clown.
It definitely needs to be reworked or AT LEAST made incredibly clearer when you can earn them back. As in;
You have just come off chat restriction and you now must play; {Insert game number} with no reports Being honored decreases the count faster.
The system is set-up to oppress a huge chunk of competitive and passionate players who have issues with certain behavioral aspects.
You wouldn't punish a kid who has problem with cursing by gagging him and then starving him would you?
It is taking one of the few perks to play this game, because lets be real.
Skins are overpriced, the ELO system is shot-shit and ranked tiers are full of premades and boosted animals.
Downvote me all you want. You just prove my point.
