I got 14 day banned about 3-4 months ago without any chat restrictions afterward but I am still Honor level 0 at checkpoint one I get a lot of honors since I play with my friends all the time but like I am not increasing in honor level at all. At one point I had 36 chests until I got sick of it and just bought keys. I want to know how long does it take to get honor level 1 because I am only 1/3 of the way in 3 months.
AS LONG AS YOU STAY HONORABLE, meaning giving people no reason to report you while you are receiving/giving honors, you'll be back to level 1 in a month or 2, depending on how much you play. Take me srs when I say this btw, giving honors DOES count towards your progression with honor level and I've even recieved key fragments based on the honors I gave people (it specifically noted due to recently honoring other players, here's a key fragment!)
I have a bit of bad news for you though, once you hit level 1 honor (like I finally did a month ago, after 5 months of being honor locked) you will have another '3 checkpoints' before reaching level 2, so even once you hit level 1 you're still gonna feel pretty shitty. You will start getting key fragments at level 1 though
Honestly, I agree it takes forever as well. I got chat banned awhile ago from being toxic towards a twitch who imo fully deserved it because he was being incredibly toxic in the lobby but once in game he got mute as a mouse due to well feeding and I of course had to rub it in his face. I remember that game fully well because i got chat restricted after and dropped to honor lock. I probably got my honor unlocked a week after but since then have been stuck honor level 1 checkpoint 1. I have been honored I would say hundreds of times since then and have not moved A SINGLE checkpoint. Its pretty aggravating to say the least because as much as I want to get out of the low honor status I have I don't have as much time to play as I want to anymore. I really want to get out of it but it is just in my honest opinion way too hard to get out. There's not even no bar or indicator to show how much you've progressed or if you are getting any at all, and since now the entire league currency system runs on blue essence and chests its even more punishing. I think the system needs to be fixed or at least better explained because at this point I am sitting with just as much chests as you have, getting barely any key fragments to unlock them. I understand being honorable is the whole point of the system BUT SINCE THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM, is one of the main ways we have to get more of the in game currency then should players who don't talk at all or are "neutral" really be punished for it. Not everyone wants to be super nice guy every game sometimes I just want to play without comments from my teammates, because more often than not I'll get someone 10x more toxic than I ever was yet they continue playing their games scott free going forward.
Your Honor progress depends largely on your own behavior. If you feel like you're making no progress whatsoever, then maybe you're still being negative enough to hold yourself back. It's not enough to just not get punished to progress in Honor - valid reports against you, even if they don't result in a punishment can slow or halt your progress.
Also, getting Honored from players in your own premade has no effect whatsoever, which means that, if you're trying to cheese Honor gain by playing with friends to get guaranteed honors, you're not actually being Honorable, and aren't getting anywhere to boot.
From the Honor FAQ:
Can I game the system and boost to level 5 by constantly playing with a premade and honoring each other every game?
Nice idea. We had it too. So we specifically built Honor so potential exploits like this give you (and your friend) literally no benefit.
If you want to gain Honor, get yourself out there and be honorable with randoms. At the very least, get the Team Honor bonus, and at most, work to get Honors from your teammates.
And, lastly, to address "how long until Honor Level 1" - there's no set-in-stone time for it, but going up in Honor is meant to be a long-term progression. To give an example, let's use my own Honor progress:
I started out the year (Jan. 8th, I think?) at Honor Level 2, Checkpoint 3, since I made it to Honor 5 in 2017. I couldn't guess as to how many reports I got over the course of these past four months, much less how many (if any) were valid, but, two days ago, on 4/13, I hit Honor Level 3, Checkpoint 3. Essentially four months of consistent play and (largely) sportsmanlike behavior led to me going up (more or less) a full Honor Level. 'Course, I'm not Honor 4 yet, but, still, math.
So, TL;DR
