So the PBE says:
Your honor level has been reset for 2018- a refreshed system grants guaranteed rewards at new checkpoints between levels. Keep fighting with honor in 2018!
But wouldn't it be great if the honor level was actually reset for everyone? For everyone to be reset n the new, refreshed system? For everyone going into the new year?
It will be, but players who are at a dishonorable level will start the new year still dishonorable.
They don't get a free pass just because the end of year comes around, they have to work for it like anyone else does.
Anyone levels 1 and under don't get to reset. They still have to play through the punishment they got and climb back to a good standing.
Whatever the text in PBE might be, here are the actual Patch 8.1 patch notes and it's Honor parts. These Honor parts include the reset details, which as tl;dr say pretty much this: All the players with Honor 2 or above, will reset to Honor level 2. People with higher Honor reset to a closer point of Honor level 3. People with Honor level less than 2 keep their current Honor level.
The reset system sounds fine to me. Good work Riot.

It is really hard to tell how much progress is being made lol. I've been at honor 0 for probably as long as you possibly can, given that I dropped from 2 to 0 within like the first month of honor coming out.
After hundreds of games of no punishments and no progress, it feels like a strange limbo! Now, Tantrum told me before that this is because I'm consistently toxic enough to not progress but not toxic enough to get a punishment. Still feels weird though and I wonder if my case is considered a design flaw or not?
Why even bother resetting the dishonourable ones? If that were the actual case, it means that they can be as freely toxic as before without worrying about their Honor status, right before the reset.
Honour is getting refreshed for everyone that is level 3 and above. IIRC it will be reset when the ranked season starts.
