I've witnessed a lot of people with Honor level 3 including myself! But, I have ?'s about honor caps

Hello. As of now being in honor 3, I took the time to read this webpage to get more information and questions answered. I got a notification when I got into honor 3, but kinda forgot what it said, something about congrats and the honor capsule. After I got it, I looked at the webpage. I swear I got a capsule right then and there. I looked at my loot but there was nothing, so I restarted the client and I went back and no capsule.

My good friend has been in honor 3 for about a week I believe. But he said he never got a capsule. It did say on the webpage that they come randomly. But do they really? How many capsules can we get? What happened?

You now have the ability to get capsule drops. You don't get any drops with level up.

This messaging is a bit confusing, and we are looking at updating it.

tantram i dont like the "random" part of this. a friend of mine got 27 keyfrags and is still h2. while i myself am h3 and got not even 10 keyfrags. and i swear 8 out of 10 games i get at least 1 honor. AT LEAST!

They aren't exactly random, and they are related to number of games played.

Do I get more or less key fragments with this change? The overall number of key fragments you unlock isn't changing, but the drops should feel more evenly spread across the month. Key gluts and droughts should be smoothed out.

Is your friend playing more games than you?

I actually took a screencap of mine, when I reached honor 3 just moments ago!

For now, assume they appear like key fragments.

MaropaL2Aug 3, 20171 votes

So like never or only 1 every 4 days

Kei143Aug 3, 20171 votes

You get a max of 12 key fragments a month. You only can get that amount if you play alot of games

that was the old system. now its way less as key frags are for "keeping it sportsmanslike" and not cause of rito being nice

Ive gotten 9 key frags this week. 1 capsules 2 dropa.

I bet the capsule just randomly dropped at the end of a game right?

TerozuAug 7, 20171 votes

No, they don't do that. If you get a capsule,, you'll get it usually at logging in. I've just gotten my second one, this one had Akali(again...) and 3 key shards.

they said in their FAQ that if you are honor 2, the max amount of keys you can get is still a max of 12 fragments.

Also the amount of frags obtained in the new system as honor2 is around the same as the old system.

with playing 1-3matches/day the past month i got about 3-4 key frags.

how many would you have to play if 30-90matches are only enough to get max 4 key frags?

also if my report helped, i tend to get 2 and otherwise only 1 every 2 weeks

Keep in mind that the time of your cycle may not necessarily start on the first of the month.

So you may be at the end of your cycle (need more games played at the end of the cycle to get frags than the early part of the cycle) and misinterpreting that you aren't getting frags as frequently as you should be.

You might want to post in help & support boards and ask porocles / broporo how many frags you got since the new honor system started and clear up any misconceptions.
