Low Honor level no ranked rewards

I don't think honor level 0 or 1 should be banned from ranked rewards. Just for some context, I've been honor 0 for 6 months now after getting chat banned for 25 games. In those 6 months, I've played easily over 200 games and over 60 games of tft. Yet, despite never being banned or chat banned since the 6 months, I am still honor level 0. How is this fair? Being honor 2 doesn't mean I have to be AMAZING each game but I am for sure not toxic anymore at all. Can riot please give me a ranked reward for the end of this season?

If you're still Honor Level 0 after 6 months of playing since your 25-game CR, then odds are high that you're still behaving poorly - just not poorly enough to merit a punishment outright.

Consider that there may well still be some issues in your communication with other players; 'cause frankly, there's no way you'd be stuck at Honor Level 0 for 6 months if you had reformed.

How is this fair?

Ranked play is meant to be a more competitive experience than Normals, and with that competition comes the expectation of good sportsmanship. If you're not sportsmanlike, then you should not be entitled to competitive rewards.

Being honor 2 doesn't mean I have to be AMAZING each game but I am for sure not toxic anymore at all.

If you were not toxic, and did not break the rules, you would not still be Honor Level 0. Perhaps you mistakenly believe that certain negative behaviors or examples of poor sportsmanship are fine, which isn't an uncommon mistake, but regardless, the fact remains: you've not been honorable enough to regain Honor.

Can riot please give me a ranked reward for the end of this season?

Honor Level 2 has been explicitly stated to be the prerequisite for End-of-Season rewards both at the beginning and here at the tail-end of the year. They're not going to do another extended cutoff date like 2018, so if you're not Honor Level 2 by the 19th, then, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no, they're not going to give you rewards you don't qualify for.

ikr. grinded hard to gold, and what did it cost? every possible type of terminal cancer inflicted on my poor soul. riot honestly should reimburse low elo players just for climbing out of elo hell, i mean, the only reason i got here was because of toxicity. i gotta be honest, bronze+silver is a circus, and the only way to climb out is tell others to stfu. toxicity is the root of the game, just look at high elo.

You can submit a ticket and ask them why your honors isn't progressing.

My guess is that you are exaggerating the amount of games you play AND you are (mildly) toxic within those games semi-frequently.

I talked to riot and they said I have to bring it to the boards. NEVER DID I GET A MESSAGE SAYING THE DEMOTION OF MY HONOR. How am i supposed to know how honorable must I be to have progression? Perhaps I am mildely toxic but the failure of riot in telling me so is unfair. Furthermore, I really have played so many games! Check my account, the game count is definetely in the hundreds.
