Big annoucement RE: Honor 2 for ranked season 2018 rewards
Put this puppy in google translate and you get this:
Hello everyone:
We will change the honor requirements for end-of-season rewards.
Earlier this year we changed the policy of end-of-season rewards so that they depended on honor instead of recent penalties. During the last weeks and months, we have received comments about how unpleasant it is to get down to honor level 0 or 1 due to a chat restriction during the last days of the season, so we will offer the unique opportunity to receive rewards from the game in February 2019. It works as follows:
If you have only received a chat restriction this past season and your honor level is 0 or 1, you will have the opportunity to go back up to honor level 2 until February 11, 2019. If at that time your level of honor is 2, you will receive all the rewards that you have justly won with blood, sweat and tears.
This does not apply to any other type of more serious penalty, such as 2 week suspensions, use of bot programs, manipulation of the ELO (boosting), cheating or permanent suspensions. You will not meet the requirements if you have received additional penalties other than the chat restriction.
It is possible to raise the honor level in that period of time. It can be achieved only by playing a few games a week whenever you play to win without ruining the experience of others. This only applies to your qualification level of 2018. So, even if your level varies, you will only receive the rewards based on your level in November.
To be clear: we will maintain the honor requirements during the following qualifying seasons and the results of this exception could be useful if in the future we decide to make possible adjustments to the experience of honor levels 0 and 1.
As always, give us your opinion about this change and, if you still have honor level 0 or 1, see you in February!
