Why am I still lvl 0 honor

Hello,

I received a chat restriction on my account for flaming the community. Since then I have played my 10 games to remove the chat restriction and played numerous games (well over 100) to unlock my honor. I am current at the last checkpoint of lvl 0 honor but this just seems ridiculous. Do i need to meet a quota for the most honorable in my matches? I get a solid 1-2 honor ever game I play and feel I am over due for an update in my honor level. I have over 23 chests I have accumulated over my climb and would like to start earning key fragments.

If anyone can share their story and how long it took them, please feel free. im open to any tips at this point.

I believe there are time spent playing requirements as well as amount of games played requirements involved in going up honor levels. it's designed to be a slow process. When I was banned a couple of years ago it took me about a year just to get to honor level 4.

But in reality, we know fuck all about the honor system, because riot doesn't want it to be transparent for some reason.

If you want to progress quickly in honors, you have to show the system you are willing to be positive.

This is not just the glhf at the beginning of the game and ggez at the end. It's how you use chat throughout the game to pick up and encourage others when they are down. It's how you strategize for the upcoming play instead of blaming for what happened.

After the game, make sure you encourage people to honor someone, as team honor bonus progresses your honors much more than you getting honors alone. Winning is a team game, so is progressing in honors.

On the flip side, if you get validly reported (not to be confused with falsely reported, those false reports don't mean a thing), it will drastically slow down your honors progress.

it's a quality over quantity thing. to get your honor back you need to prove that you deserve it. if you /muteall every game and type nothing then you are displaying a refusal to communicate, not a refusal to be toxic. and there's a difference.

to get your honor back, you need to play games while not being toxic. playing games not communicating will work too, sure, but it will be much slower

i had a chat restriction a couple of years ago and i got back to honor 2 in 3 months. and i'm as casual of a player as they come. i'd be surprised if there were more than 50 games in that time frame

I got a chat restriction about 2 months ago for something really stupid. It took me about 2 months of average honors to get to honor 2 to get my ranked rewards. Im sorry my friends, I don't believe your a toxic person, but it is probably impossible for you to get your ranked rewards before the season ends

everything is negative behavior. No point in talkin in league. Even criticizing or asking questions is negative behavior cause people feel hurt about everything.

EDIT: Even this comment is negative behavior for slamming facts. And it will be most likely removed.

you could always write the support and ask if your progress glitched. nothing is perfect, this might happen.

but eh idk, over 100 games? you should easily have 1 checkpoint. more likely 2 if not 3.

there's an option to mute yourself. No point in critiquing teammate or enemies for their mistakes. Just Play the game and worry about yourself and how you can improve better.

Sadly, the way I got back to Honor level 2 really fast was to quit for a year then come back. That kind of wiped the slate clean for me and I was able to be redeemed by the Honor system. Trying to get it back beforehand was a troll fest and near impossible.

Don't even bother, you have a better chance of a Rioter gifting you RP.

The honor system just sucks. I was chat restricted LAST NOVEMBER and I'm still like honor 1 with 2 checkpoints or something. My last checkpoints was many months ago even though I haven't even been playing much and definitely not being toxic.

I think the best idea is just not care about honor, it's too flawed to take seriously. At least if you have already been punished.

Update: I'm finally level 1 honor but i haven't reached a checkpoint yet and its been well over 50 games since my honor level was increased. In the previous games i have earned most honorable 3-5 times and get a solid 1-2 honor every other game. Some games I'll go 25-3 as kha'zix and get no honor. I feel like I am being treated unfairly in this road to honorable process.
