Do you get more honor for ranked than normals?

Was just wondering because I've played probably 500-ish games since the honor rework and I'm still honor 3. I've never been toxic, inted, or afk'd and generally get like one or two honors from randoms after every game. I have a friend on my list who is super toxic, only played like 250 games but most of those are in ranked and he is honor 5. The honor system just seems to make no sense, I also have a friend who has played 40 ish games since the new honor system came out and he is honor 3 with me, and most of my friends who play a healthy mix of normals and ranked are honor 4 right now. I just don't understand why I'm getting so many honors, playing so many games, and being super positive and I'm still honor 3 when people who play way way less than me are honor 5.

TL;DR, I'm just nervous I won't be honor 5 at the end of the season because there seems to be no correlation between the honors I'm getting and time I spend playing and leveling up, I don't know if I'm at 1% of 99% towards honor 4 because for some reason there is no progress bar, and I just really want to make sure I get the exclusive stuff for hitting honor 5 at the end of season :/

The honor system was made for behavior. It has nothing to do with skill or how well you play. That much is true after it's been out for awhile. Todays developers are smart people with zero common sense and will never create a true competitive atmosphere except with the pros. Those people at RIOT use no common sense making their players better. Instead they try and create a happy atmosphere when in reality they create more toxicity. This developer is killing their game for the common gamers and will have no clue why when the subs go bye-bye.

Its all about capitalism and those in power. I wish it weren't true but think about it and the sorry trash RIOT lets go in this game.

Being validly reported slows your honor growth even if it's not quite enough to earn a punishment.

Some common behaviors that the IFS flags as negative are: calling for reports, stating that you're reporting someone, stating that you're muting someone, calling people toxic, calling people trolls, and arguing with trolls.

I'm not specifically saying that you're doing any of those things.
