Honor questions help me #reform

Okay, so I got hella pissed and told a troll to KYS and got 2 weeked after 750 games neutral/positive. I want to try hard to #reform like my strong alpha male role model Tyler1 before season ends. I worked hard for that diamond border and I'm gonna have it, damnit. I have a few questions as to how this system actually works since it's deliberately obfuscated, making it very hard to make a plan.

  1. Is 3 months enough time to go honor 0->2
  2. Are honors weighted by queue, e.g. is a regular game honor worth the same as an AI or ARAM honor
  3. Is unlocking honor time gated or can you grind to speed it up
  4. Is honor advancement time gated or can you grind to speed it up
  5. What specifically are the conditions to advance an honor checkpoint if it is time gated
  6. Do premade honors not count at all or is the value just reduced
  7. How long does it take for a false report to clear and stop blocking your progression Super special bonus question: Estimate how many games or honors per day I would need to make 2 by the end of the season

Thanks, and no unnecessary you deserved it posts pls. I want to no life this to #reform, but I don't want to waste time if the system is time gated like it seems to be from my initial research. If it's set up so that only a few games a day is enough to make it in time, that would be really good to know.

I've been banned for the same reason in May and I'm currently honor 1 checkpoint 1 of 3 so if I keep playing at a good rate it could be just 3-4 more weeks and I get to honor 2, although I haven't been playing this game as much.

So to answer question 1 you could be back to honor 2 in 3-4 months or less if you really grind it.

Rapid fire;

  1. Probably, yes.
  2. No.
  3. To my knowledge, it's based on games played, so, yes, you can grind it out.
  4. Yes and no - you can technically grind for it, but not in any meaningful way. (More details below.)
  5. Play games and don't receive valid reports. Show reform; be positive.
  6. Honors from your premades have no value.

I'll skip over your bonus question, since I'm not a mathematician and I don't have enough knowledge to make a remotely vague guess as to how long it'd take for you in particular. But; other notes.

  • Being validly reported slows your Honor Progress. Don't be negative, don't flame, etc.
  • Team Honor Bonus is worth more than you'd expect. Always Honor someone after game.
  • Show positive behavior. As far as I know, the system picks up on it.
  • It's going to take time. Don't expect to hit Honor Level 2 within the first month. Just put your best foot forward, be patient, and keep focused on the end-goal.

It almost feels liberating to abandon pleasantries like that.
