It's really hard to regain Honor

Bay B·Oct 28, 2019·5 votes·4,920 views

I was given a 2 week ban a couple months ago, yes I flamed my team and I was deserving of the ban, but since then I've only recently broken out of being honorless to honor level 0. Now before November 18th (if I want the ranked rewards) I need to somehow get to honor level 2 before then; which despite me getting a regular amount of honors per game, seems impossible.

Im Plat in flex and Gold in Solo/duo, Aatrox is one of my main champions and I find it frustrating I wont be able to get his Victorious skin because of something I did months ago that I was already punished for. I have the honor 4 ward, I have been honorable in my past and I am now, but it's really salt in the wounds to watch the skin slip through my fingers.

If theres anything I can do to get to honor 2 before November 18 please let me know.

If a person robbed a store and got caught, they would be in jail for less time than it takes to get back to honor 2 in most U.S. states.

Grind an unhealthy amount of games while being positive in chat.

I am and I get honors, but its so infrequent for me to see any actual progress.

Getting honors itself only contributes to the honors progress in a very small way.

Getting team honors bonus and actually being nice (even if it is fake) contributes to the progress alot more.

Keep in mind that getting validly reported will put your honors progress in a screeching halt.

Idk man. I had to do the grind from 0 to 2 twice in my life time. When he says an unhealthy amount.. he means it lol. Just look at my account level. He's not wrong lmao.

I have no clue why there isn't actually a progress bar for honor that shows how close you are to ranking up. We have an EXP bar, a display for ranked, is it so hard to actually show honor?

Because then people could figure out how to manipulate the system. Honor is supposed to be default, not an achievement.

Nope. You ain't getting these rewards this year. I don't need to tell you that the time to think about this was before you flamed the shit out of your teammates and got banned. Come on, dude.

That is the oldest excuse in the book. People do that now anyways by spamming aram matches with friends etc. There is just no reason why there shouldn't be a progress bar.

Really wish I could report snark like this, because the stench is overwhelming.

Sure you can, click the report button. Mods have no problems removing my comments if they break the rules. It's happened before!

if you're still at honor 0 then its literally impossible. Honor 1 checkpoint 2 might be doable but still highly unlikely as you need 4 checkpoints to level up.

I am not sure if the others gave you good tips but here's one from me. Play a lot of bot games. There are new players who might be learning the game. Give them tips, show them the ropes and be nice, give them the kills. It will help you a lot with racking honors.

If you don't mind being shameless, ask for honor because of your honor grind back to level 2. Explain, why. I got asked for it and I honored the guy. It really wasn't much out of my pocket and he did try his best to be 'nice'. Even if he was pretending to be, heh

Another thing I noticed, having a good sense of humor really bags you honor in no time. Of-course, muting chat altogether and playing the game is another one but that requires time.
