You don't know your progress, Riot hides it on purpose.

"We didn't want to anchor people on the 'grind' to honor levels," Simurgh answered. "By not having progress indicators, we wanted to root the reinforcement for being sportsmanlike on the feedback you get from other players (the honors), not any artificial motivation from being 'close to the next level.'"

It's meant to be a sign of consistent good behavior, so if it was really easy to acquire through a couple games, it wouldn't be much of a sign.

It's a BS excuse. Knowing your progress would act as a preventive measure for bad behavior. It's common sense. Building your honor level should be slow and losing it should be swift and quick so trying to abuse it would make you start all over at 1 or 0 whichever is the lowest it could go.

Whether it's an excuse or not, they don't even have to give it in the first place. The main problem is that with the update, everyone is spamming games and being nice, (which is a good thing, don't get me wrong) in the belief that they will be able to quickly unlock rank 3 honor and unlock those flairs. In reality Riot has stated that they intend the system to be progressed through during the duration of an entire season.

Chances are you won't be seeing any flairs for at least a few weeks, at which point the hardcore players who are spamming games every day will be the first to unlock it and so on and so forth.

Just be patient and keep playing the game as usual. There really is no need for a progress bar.

I don't care about the honor system. It's there, great. I'll enjoy it. I was just adding to the conversation my opinion which is basic common sense in today's goal oriented society.

There is really no viable justification to not have a progress bar.

Most people in my games don't even honor anymore. It was cool and hip for the 1st few days then when no one hit level 3.......a lot of people just stopped caring. Hit the "not this time" button and move on to the next game.
