I've been playing many ranked games recently to try ending in gold. I have bad games, everyone does, but my allies who have honor 4 or 5 flame me.
Isn't that a little counter intuitive?
I'm not complaining about my low honor level (3), I'm just confused how these players slip through.
Thanks, EtK2000

Kei1431 votescould be them slipping a game in behavior, could be that they have more neutral games than negative ones (eventually the system catches up with them), you be you perceiving proper criticism as flame.
EtK20001 votesAs much as I do get offended easily, I'm only talking about harassment here (things like insults, swearing, racism, etc). I also usually ask for them to stop politely, to which some listen and others respond with "screw you" or worse.
Muting is a nice feature to combat this, but I think the honor system should be a tad smarter...
Kei1431 votesthem saying "screw you" probably isn't worthy of a punishment.
While we don't have a whole lot of information about the honor system, my current feeling is that it could be smarter. Maybe it is smarter to a certain degree, we just don't know about it.
DarKie1 voteshonor 4-5 dont matter in relevance to toxicity, i just got chat banned(no warning before hand THANKS) for a few games and I was honor level 4, now im honor level 1 and probably not gonna get end of season rewards, all because i swear at my frinds when im playing the game and other people take offense to it [zombie-brand-clap]
EtK20001 votesWasn't the honor system implemented to lower the toxicity?
DarKie1 votesit was definitely made to make people more friendly towards each other, but they also made the already toxic people 10x worse because once you get punished once you feel like you never get back to level 2 and just turn to the "f*ck it why be nice when it gets me no where"
wyvern0119761 votesThe issue is premades only honoring other premades. There is supposed to be a magical system in place to not reward them, but notice those terrible KDA kids, trolls, and flamers are always high honor level because they ALWAYS honor each other and never report each other.
The part that's not working seems to be that there is actually no limit to gaining honor from premades like we were told there would be.
Cornerstone11 votesThe honor system is more about who carried, not who played honorably.
EtK20001 votesThat doesn't make sense to me. Riot doesn't track how well you played properly (the match score proves this).
