Greetings.

Sharing this... interview so you don't have ask support about it. If you really want that Orianna skin on your main, you can take a shot at getting gold on another server. It's grey area, but kinda allowed for now.

(08:10:06 AM) SonicAF: Your stance on honor 0 players transferring to receive ranked rewards it not properly communicated. Is it allowed?

<...> (08:10:10 AM) *** HarvesterOfSouls joined the chat *** (08:10:12 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: hey there (08:10:31 AM) SonicAF: Yaaay. Hello there. (08:10:35 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: ^^ (08:10:50 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: so, wanna switch servers to get them juicy end of season rewards, eh? (08:11:38 AM) SonicAF: Well, that was a wild guess ;D but many people do. (08:12:02 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: well, while it can be done, there's a trick to it (08:12:20 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: you see, just as the honor level doesn't get transferred, your ranked standing doesn't, either (08:12:21 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: :D (08:13:06 AM) SonicAF: Yes, but gaining gold in 2 weeks is slightly easier than unlocking and grinding honor. (08:13:23 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: fair point xD (08:13:44 AM) SonicAF: So when I am suggesting someone transfer as an option, am I msleading them or violating something? (08:13:59 AM) SonicAF: Would they violate something if they do that? (08:14:26 AM) SonicAF: Is it planned to punish such players and strip them of rewards anyway? (08:14:38 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: no, not really - after all, the option to switch accounts is available for use (08:15:03 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: as for anything being planned, I unfortunately can't give you any info, as I honestly don't have any (08:15:17 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: but, should something change, there'll definitely be a post about it on our website ^^ (08:15:56 AM) SonicAF: Point taken. If they wanna risk it, it's allowed for now. Right? (08:16:27 AM) SonicAF: Can I share this conversation? (08:16:37 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: yeah, sure thing (08:16:49 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: still, as with all things, I can't personally guarantee that will stay the same (08:17:06 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: it's like with using modifications - we don't forbid it, but you're doing so at your own risk xD (08:17:16 AM) SonicAF: I'll make sure it is clear. (08:17:24 AM) HarvesterOfSouls: awesome ^^ <...>

Edit: Support confirmed that your honor stance is saved per server and if you transfer back before getting rewards, you will be set back to where you were. As soon as rewards hit your account, they won't be stripped due to getting punished or transferred to server where you have honor 0.

(09:45:03 AM) SonicAF: If you transfer your account and then transfer it back, what is restored to this date?(rank, honor) https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gamepl…

This post implies that honor is saved per server.

If someone dishonorable transfers to another server, gets rewards and transfers back, will rewards get stripped? (09:45:11 AM) *** Ayame joined the chat *** (09:45:20 AM) Ayame: hey there (09:45:53 AM) SonicAF: Hey. (09:46:20 AM) Ayame: uhm (09:46:35 AM) Ayame: if you transfer your account on a new server, your honor level will be 2 (09:46:50 AM) Ayame: if you transfer on a server where have you been already - you will be that level (09:46:57 AM) Ayame: you will lose your rank when you transfer (09:47:44 AM) SonicAF: So if I am dishonorable, transfer to get honor 2, get gold... (09:48:07 AM) SonicAF: And transfer back, my account will be honor 0. (09:48:24 AM) Ayame: yes, but when the season resets - the honor does too usually (09:48:29 AM) SonicAF: And Orianna skin won't be stripped. (09:48:34 AM) Ayame: I am not aware if this season will (09:48:41 AM) Ayame: it won't if you got it while transferred (09:49:18 AM) SonicAF: Can you lose ranked rewards by getting punished in preseason? (09:50:13 AM) Ayame: you have to be honor level 2 in order to get ranked rewards (09:50:18 AM) Ayame: level 2 when the season ends (09:50:54 AM) Ayame: if you are 2 when it ends and you drop to 0 in preseason - you might not receive them (09:50:56 AM) Ayame: I wouldn't risk it (09:51:42 AM) SonicAF: So if you got, do they stay regardless of further punishments? I am not willing to risk it, just wanna know how it works. (09:52:06 AM) Ayame: if the rewards drop on your account - from that point on you cannot lose them (09:52:40 AM) SonicAF: Thank you. You were very helpful. Can I share our conversation? (09:53:43 AM) Ayame: you are very welcome (09:53:46 AM) Ayame: for sure ^.^

I assume you can still lose them if you are punished for boosting.

Well obviously how else Riot gonna milk more money for a feature to reset your Honor!

They should add an payment option "Reset honor" for 5000 RP.

it begs the question:

since the honor drop will be on the original server waiting for you, will you lose your skin when you transfer back? i mean... logic says that it shouldn't but...

As I've seen mentioned on their end of season discord, there is no guarantee that you'll keep your rewards if you transfer back to this server after having gotten them on a different server. Additionally, it's 2600RP, one way.

If you're avoiding reforming your behavior, then you'll eventually end up banned. May as well take the middle man out and throw your money straight into the garbage.
