Transferred account to another server to avoid Honor penalties. Boy, is my face red right now.

Earlier in the year I got flamed pretty hard in a flex game. I flamed back. We were both to blame but I deserved my chat restriction since I should have just stayed quiet. I have a problem with getting baited really easily, and it's something I'm working on.

Stopped playing for a couple of months, came back in last week of the season and hit Challenger Tier in Solo Queue. By the time I hit this, I was still Honor Level 0, Checkpoint 1. Friend told me I could just transfer server to get the Orianna skin in another server. Did my own research, saw that Riot had no official stance about it even though there were multiple high visibility threads about it, so decided to pay the 2600 rp for it (+ another 2600 to transfer back later).

Saw today that Riot are offering a chance for players to reform. My account is now on Japan with Platinum rewards, but for obvious reasons I would like to have the chance to reform on my home server and claim the challenger tier rewards instead.

Riot, is there any chance you could let me reform on my home server?

Thanks,

You tried to use a workaround/abuse their punishment/rewards system... they're not going to transfer you back for free or give you challenger rewards (especially considering you weren't in challenger -- or any tier for that matter on your home server when the season ended.)

Hey if you play ADC you could've gone from rank 1 / high challenger to not-even-challenger due to 8.11 like qtpie.

Here's some advice. Don't rely on people on the League Boards. 99.4% of the people here don't know what the hell they're talking about. When Rioters are unable to provide an official response. THAT'S A RED FLAG.

You need stop for a second and think. Do you really believe Riot would allow this exploit to happen?

Here's an Official Response from Riot:

Can I transfer servers to restore my honor and get the rewards?

No, we'll check your Honor level on the server on which you would've received rewards. So, if you're Gold in Brazil, you'll need to also be Honor level 2 in Brazil by the deadline.

And people doubt that Riot makes money off punishments.

Be Me> Is Toxic> Notices Im Going to be Punished for Being toxic> Evades Punishment by exploiting an issue with Server Transfers> Wants to Come back to Server you were Toxic on> Asks if its okay to reform despite not putting in the effort of reforming>

Seems about right just let this man be reformed already clearly he already did the work by transfering servers. Must be reformed with no hint of leftover malice whatsoever.
