Lvl 0 honor punishment

l C18 l··4 votes·845 views

Allright, so like 2 months ago i got my 14 days ban and my honor lvl decreased to 0. But that's not a point, the ban was clear and deserved.

I want to talk about the amount of games i have to play being, let's say, "sportsmanlike". I've played till now 130 games without saying a single word (i have disabled the enter button by my own, self-control is a pretty nice thing tho). But it doesn't matter, i'm still lvl 0 honor. So how many games someone have to play to finally achieve lvl 1 honor? 130 is not a joke, i'm counting it carefully (28 games to unlock the rewards like box for making S-/S/S+, + 130 games at lvl 0 honor).

This may sound like a crying, some people would say that's how penalty tastes like, but in my opinion, 130 games, where u didnt flame/troll/int even once and still it wasn't spotted, makes me feel it's lost forever, or at least worthless to reform. (during my ban, i was playing on my newbie account, and i have achieved the 3 lvl honor within 16 games).

Summing up, i'd like to know how many games do i have to play, to finally become again a "kind and sportsmanlike player". If someone was in the same situation like me and could put his 3 cents below, i'd really appreciate it, thanks.

Rip Im in the same situation as you, but I got a chat restriction for 25 games. I posted a thread about this. If anybody responds to yours, let me know plz.

I've been level 0 honour for like... 3 months after a chat ban.

I'm just waiting for the reset next season at this point.

It's not good enough to just not say anything ever. That's at best neutral. You need to be talking in chat and creating positive experiences for your team in order for the system to decide you are improving. That's the same way its worked in the past with chat restrictions - players who stopped talking altogether were confused that their chat restrictions never lifted because the point was that you were supposed to be using your limited chat rights in a positive way to prove you were learning how to be a more positive player.

It's fine to say nothing if you are already considered a positive or neutral player, but don't expect the system to consider you 'reformed' if you just dont say anything ever, since all that demonstrates is a jaded view of the system which shows you still either don't understand why what you were saying before was not ok and thus cant differentiate between that and acceptable behavior or that you do understand but actively refuse to 'play by' the rules.

What's the point of FORCING someone to use chat in ANY way? If i don't want to use it in ANY way (since u can get a punishment even for normal language, but it will be counted as a "spamming")? Can any Riot-er support that theory?

@Topic

176 games done, still 0 honor.

You may be able to find some example riot responses on the boards if you search enough since the topic has come up several times in the past where people would complain of chat restrictions that ended and immediately restarted, complaining that it was a bug and that it couldn't be a 'new' restriction since they didn't type anything the entire time. These players were told at the time that accounts are reviewed when a restriction ends to see if they have become more positive, and if they have not made significant improvements then they are restricted again until they show that improvement.

Important distinctions were made that merely 'being neutral' (aka saying nothing) was not considered 'improvement', and that actual positive use of the chat was required to demonstrate that the player actually understood what they had been doing wrong and was making progress in the right direction.

It was also mentioned that it wouldn't be fair to everyone else if a player who got restricted due to creating negative experiences for many players was able to 'ignore' their punishment by just not engaging with the chat system - that as a form of community service they should be forced to create positive experiences for other players to make up for the damage they ha caused. That's getting philosophical though - the main point is that merely 'coasting' isn't good enough to restore your account standing, and you need to make an active effort aside from giving everyone the silent treatment to demonstrate that you do actually know how to communicate with others without being a jerk.

I guess u are wrong, since i got lvl 1 honor after 181 games, during that i haven't used chat even once.

14 day banned after being mass reported as inting because of a bad game.First and only ban in the four years I've wasted on LoL,not even a chat restriction.That was two months ago,during the time since I've gotten an honor a bare minimum of every other game.Still sitting at 0,and even after getting 'rewards' back I can't get key frags and apparently got dicked so hard by the system I didn't even get the icon or border for ranked.

Also,chat means nothing to it.Yeah,I'm one of those weirdos that spends more time actually playing than typing in /all,but what I do say is 'positive'.Still no honor 1.

The system is totally broken bois.If you haven't dropped a ton of money on skins or w/e,I'd recommend just jumping ship in favor of a new account.
