14 Day ban from August still lingers

Dimitrees·Dec 8, 2017·0 votes·301 views

So, this post was mainly made for discussion, not complaint, as I would like to know if other people have experienced the same issue with me. As the title says, I was banned for 14 days on August 2017 for intentional feeding (I did not want to allow an autofilled player to lock support and get away with it) so I inted.

Of course my honor level dropped to zero, and I was ineligible for loot for quite a while. However, it's now December 2017, and despite being honored pretty frequently and not having received another ban in the meantime, my honor level is still 0, and while I can earn chests, I cannot receive hextech keys. I would like to know if there's another case like mine, and also how to raise my honor level and start earning keys again, as this seems more like a bug than a penalty effect.

Thank you

I'm having a hard time finding your match history. Have you been consistently playing on this account since the ban, or did you take a long break?

Maybe you're looking at NA, while im in EUNE. I've been playing regularly. What does this have to do with my post, though?

I tried looking at EUNE, couldn't find it. Not sure what the issue is, it's probably something on my end.

I only ask because your progress towards being in good standing requires actual time playing the game, not just time passing. You can't get banned for two weeks, play a different account for six months, and then return to your main account to find it "reformed". I'm not accusing you of doing that, but I figured I'd ask the question to troubleshoot what may be happening. Try making a support ticket to get a more direct answer, maybe there's a bug somewhere.

It's possible that this may be intentional on Riot's part. They're vague about how long reformation periods can take, but I've heard some mention 3-6 months when it comes to offenses that earn two-week bans, and inting is pretty high up the list.

Also, I've seen a few players who try to ride the line just below a ban. They were just below the threshold to trigger another punishment, but had just enough valid reports to prevent them from moving up the Honor ladder.
