How long does a player have to wait to be eligible or reinstated into the hextech rewards after being chat restricted?

If player was restricted a month prior to the hextech rewards coming out, then how long does he/she have to wait?

Answers/replies from DEVS only please, not other summoners or board members that " THINK 3 months", or " Think they know it all". We want definite answers from a riot representative. Please and thanks.

Hiya. I made a thread with the best information I could find on hextech crafting and how it works with restrictions here: If you are restricted from hextech crafting read this (via boards.leagueoflegends.com)

Please search the PB&M boards thoroughly before making a new thread. If you have more questions post in that thread to get my attention, and I'll give ya whatever answers I have.

Two seconds on google can sometimes save you days of waiting.

The answer is if you get a chat restriction you can never get the loot. GG

Please don't post your ignorant comments on my post swayzeRIP, I'm trying to get direct answers from riot. FYI, i've done much googling and thread searching for an answer on the topic from a Riot Dev/Representative. None found hence the reasoning of this post to attempt to get their attention for a Direct answer.

How is it ignorant to give you the answer you asked for? Also, using the search function like I did helps to reduce redundant posts such as this that clutter our forum. Sorry you are so mad but that is just how the internet works. I hope my link helped. Cheers m8,

It's ignorant because you are wrong, and you do not know the correct answer that's why. Your link provides NO knowledge, no intel, no input from a riot representative. " 2 seconds on google" does not provide the direct answers to the questions of a time table and length of punishment. So like I said before, take your inferior, ignorant ( not knowing, in case you don't know the definition) comments off this post.

Ignore Swayze. Essentially you get rewards once you have reformed. 3 months per punishment. So essentially, if I had a 25 game chat restrict, I would have to wait until 6 months once I finish the punishment. Riot is most likely not going to answer because they are busy fine-tuning the system.

Holy shit.. are you kidding me? I have to wait 6 MONTHS to just USE the hextech system? Who the hell came up with that at Riot? Seriously. That's like getting a speeding ticket and having to go to jail for it afterwards too. Wow, Riot truly has no idea what they're doing

You were toxic, you got punished, now you don't get candy. Riot does know what they are doing. Take this as a lesson to not flame.

The answer is, Riot hasn't come up with a system yet to determine when someone can use the hextech system. ONE red post on reddit is all they've mentioned about the reformation process, but they say it's a case by case basis.. which is impossible to even implement a system not automated with the amount of players playing..

Thank You, Sythriel Draken for confirming. I've done much searching in and out and pretty much came up with the conclusion that nothing has been officially said about how long you are blocked out of it or how long the reformation process takes.

If thats the way it works, RIOT really should change this hextech system. I got chat restricted for 10 games so now I have to wait 3months until I can receive rewards again?? Just stupid.

The system keeps you in probation as long as you get negative reports that are deemed to be accurate.

The threshold isn't that you have to be honorable to regain your honor, the threshold is that you have to NOT be dishonorable. I know it sounds like I'm splitting hairs but it's not.

This is based on two riot posts within the last few weeks about honor:

{quoted}

Went ahead and checked your account, and it seems you're definitely doing a much better job since your Honor dropped back in September!

I'm still seeing a few cases where your chat's a little abrasive, and that is slowing you down. Fortunately though, your Honor is now unlocked and is progressing at a steady rate. Work to keep your behavior as positive as you can and cooperate with your team, and you should soon see your Honor grow. :)

and

{quoted}

So basically, your honor progress hasn't been going up as fast as it did before due to some borderline dishonorable behavior. Your loot will unlock once it's been shown that you're honorable again, but there are some chat logs that showed borderline punishable behavior. If you want more context on exactly what happened, feel free to hit up the player behavior agents in a ticket.

Being honorable means when you get honor, it helps you go up honor tiers.

Not being dishonorable means that you don't get negative reports that are accurate and true. If someone reports you for negative player behavior, that halts your reformation progress. This means if you are harassing someone mildly but still get honored in that game but someone reports you for negative attitude or harassment and the IFS deems your chat to be negative and harassing but not bad enough to warrant another punishment, you're going to get your honor gain halted and thus you will extend your reformation period and not be eligible for rewards.

EDIT: if you've had issues with chat restrictions, you should use this test... are you typing because you're upset, annoyed, disappointed, or angry at someone? If yes, don't hit enter. Just focus on your game and keep on truckin'
