In what way do you struggle most? I may be able to give you advice about a more productive, even-tempered mindset that you can adopt to reform in whatever way you have in mind.

Well, I only flame if I'm flamed at/someone's trolling. I don't mind being flamed by a person better than me, but I absolutely hate a 1/9 jinx flaming me, a 16/5 udyr that took objectives and ganked, because she just needs to like, protect her fragile ego. But yeah, sadly I only flame if I'm challenged. Which happens alot.

If somebody's being really relentless, mute them. That's always good advice. Rather than responding to anger with anger in return, try to respond with calm. Be aware of your own agitation but choose to exercise self-control. "I can't stop myself from flaming" is no more true than, "I can't stop myself from feeding the enemy team." The fact is, if you can do one, you can do the other -- and you should strive to do both. Acknowledge your negative emotions, acknowledge your struggle, but respond with positive sincerity.

"I'm sorry that I'm playing badly. I'm struggling and on tilt. Flaming me will not make things better. If you have any constructive suggestions, I would appreciate the help."

It will not always work. Nonetheless, it is always a better response to somebody flaming you than flaming back. It's mature, polite, self-aware, and sets the tone for a productive, cooperative game. Your humble response has the potential to deescalate a tense situation. An agitated response never will.

The common response to this suggestion is, "It doesn't work. Trolls gonna troll." Perhaps. Nonetheless, there are fewer trolls and fewer implacable flamers than you believe. You cannot discern the trolls and the flamers from reconcilable team mates without attempting to deescalate.

Alright... I also, I got a question. During my chat restricted games, I got honored (not by premades/friends) alot. I even got a few matches with 3 honors. But keep in mind, I got those honors while being chat restricted. Do they still count as honors and help me get my honor lvl 2 back faster?

I don't know. I think they started a post about the new honor system; you could ask there. My advice, though -- don't worry about it. They're just cosmetic rewards. Don't make them another cause to get you upset. If you start dwelling on the rewards, you might harbor the belief that that you deserve them for all this good behavior and lose sight of the goal: behaving well because you've chosen to reform. Let the fact that your team mates have honored you be your reward for now, regardless of whether it gets you back to level 2 quickly or not. When you're not being toxic, you earn the admiration of the other players. That's something to be proud of.

Gonna answer yes to your poll simply because it wasn't an option.

There's no advice for reforming. Don't type. That's it. It is about impossible to be banned if you do not type. Just play the game and don't type.

It is about impossible to be banned if you do not type.

Actually running into towers lvl 1, selling all stuff to buy tears, and going afk etc triggers the ban hammer.

I said about impossible, not impossible. If you try and troll, of course you will be banned, but that's a conscious effort on your part to try and be banned. Typing is usually a reaction, so that's what he needs to cut out to be reformed.

You should link your chat log-discussion "srsly". You just got a 10 game chat restriction, and should heed the advice there. Definitely refrain from kys. And try to chat about helpful, strategic objectives in the game. If you still struggle with chat, you can hit /mute all at the beginning of the game, although this will not stop others from seeing your chat. You could also play more relaxed game modes, like bots, aram, or rotating game modes.

Best of luck.
