Riot needs to take a class on basic human psychology.

When you chat restrict me for being negative over 3 different games, and then reset my honor to -1, as in I can't even earn it for awhile, Well Riot, in your mind, how am I motivated? Oh, I guess now that my honor is locked, I really want to keep earning those pointless honor marks, right?

When after fifty games of being polite and eating ADC 0/6/0 shit and still being nice, oh after 3 fucking games, fuck you, flush it all down the fucking toilet, right? **How is anyone motivated to constantly eat shit when all it takes is just 1-3 games to flush all your positive behavior completely down the shitter? ** You need to figure out a way to punish people without completely removing any desire to ever be honorable ever again. Your system currently spawns toxicity.

Also, in case it's unclear, your system of chat restrictions into bans, that DOES incentivize me to change. That's the stick. So why do you also take away the carrot and go "NO CARROT 4 U"???? Basic psychology, guys. Really simple stuff. There should be an accruing system that the honor you receive acts as a buffer against being reported, so that you actually are rewarded for being honorable. As it stands your honor system is a cruel joke.

if you have no desire to be honorable other than to get a honor badge then you don't deserve honor in the first place

You should be motivated to not lose your account, that's what the warning is for.

it's not to keep people motivated it's to make you not want to lose the rewards the honor system is about the only way to get keys reliably without buying them you also get end season rewards and such for being a high honor level.

it just makes even another reason to not be toxic. it's not for motivation.

But, if you call the honor marks "pointless" you were never motivated to get them in the first place, were you?

yes, it's the worst game regulation system ever designed. let's leave it at that

  1. I’m pretty sure that the people who work at Riot have taken many more psychology classes combined than you have.

  2. A long term period of good behavior does not excuse bad behavior. If you never rob a store, but suddenly you do, you’ll still get in trouble.

it typically takes more than 3 games to get someone punished.

The reform card shows you 1-5 recent games of unacceptable behavior as examples, but it doesn't mean you were punished for those alone.
