So I got chat restricted last year like November or so. It's already half year ago and I still only have honor 1 checkpoint 0/3? At this rate I'm still below 2 at the end of the season. I usually play with my friend and chat in discord so I don't really type in the chat much anymore so that is not the reason.
I agree with you so much. The honor system is a good idea in itself, but since I've had absolutely no progress on mine even though I make it a point to be as good a teammate as I can, I find it kind of pointless... No positive feedback simply means I'll stop caring about it, so the system becomes useless.
If they don't want to accelerate the gains, the devs should at least make it extremely obvious how it works.
Why not add a progress bar below your honor level in your profile, just like you got the experience bar showing you how much progress you made towards the next level ?
And better still, why not show a history of honor gains and losses (if you've been toxic or something) in each game when you hover over that honor bar ?
If honor remains painfully slow, but I can still see at least a tiny bit of consistent progress, I'll start caring about it again, and I'll probably be a better teammate for it.
Have fun grinding out honor after being chat restricted. You're put on a probation list once you finish your punishments meaning you'll be skating on thin ice for pretty much the next couple of months. Any report against you no matter how minor will slow down the already sluggish honor gain. Any further punishment will cost you a level plus any checkpoints/progress towards your next level.
The honor system was a good idea in the beginning about incentivizing and rewarding good behavior. Quickly went downhill when people realize that it takes over a year (it did for me from 0 to 1 & 2/3 and I play around 10-20 games a week) and could easily be taken away in the blink of an eye (a bad night of gaming for me) you quickly start to lose the incentive of gaining honor.
It also seems that box rewards are tied to honor aswell, have an honor 3 acc that gets nice drops from boxes often enough while one at 0 gets wards and old skins more often then not.
I've never been chat restricted or been banned before, and my honor level goes ridiculously slow too. I want to follow your conquest for answers on this matter.
If you get reported while being mildly toxic you won't get chat restricted, but it will slow down your honor progress.
With a username like that you’re surprised?
