The honor system is too harsh as it is now

Fisher No Chains··3 votes·1,927 views

Okay, so, I got a 10 games chat restriction a couple days ago (totally deserved, I’m not here to complain about it) and my honor level dropped to 0. It’s 0 because at the end of S7 I had another 10 games restriction and my honor went from level 3 to 1.

I’ve been honor level 1 for something like 7 months, peaked at Lv1 2 checkpoints but that’s all. After 7 months I get another restriction, and my honor level drops to 0, like it’s supposed to.

At this point I realize that I won’t get my end of season rewards because you need to be honor 2+ to get them, and there’s only 6 months left to get back to honor 2 which is basically impossible unless I play 30 games/day, but I don’t have the time to.

I understand that I could just shut up and don’t be “toxic” (tbh I wasn’t really toxic, just very negative), but being ineligible because of a 10 games chat restriction in June feels like a bit too much. For people who don’t know, in previous seasons you could get a chat restriction 3 days before the end of season and still be eligible if you finished your chat restricted games, or if you didn’t get a 7+ days ban during the 2 months before the end of season.

So... is really ok for people like me, who just got a 10 games chat restriction, to lose their ranked rewards unless we spend our whole day playing league for 6 months? I don’t feel like it is, it feels awful honestly.

Sincerely, an occasionally negative player.

I guess you'd just have your own consistent negative behavior to blame.

If you weren't constantly validly reported, you would have gotten out of H0/H1 long ago.

You worked hard to get your ranked rewards, you also worked hard to not get out of H0/H1.

But let's be honest, should people who get a 10 games chat restriction and NOTHING ELSE 6 months before season ends be ineligible for RANKED rewards? You've probably never been below level 2, and I can tell that getting out of low honor level requires way too many games.

Take Qtpie as an example: he got chat restricted, fell to honor 1, and took 1 month and 2 weeks to get back to honor level 2. Keep in mind that he plays 10+ games every day, and that's basically ~400 games to get back to honor 2 from level 1, which is WAY TOO MUCH.

I'm not complaining about my punishment, I was being negative and I honestly expected to get a chat restriction, but I don't expect to lose the ranked rewards I worked hard for for the lowest tier punishment just because I don't have enough time to play 600 games.

I don't think so.

I look at chat restrictions as a consistent bad behavior. So during those 6 months, one has been toxic and are slowly building up their toxicity score until they pass the punishment threshold and get punished.

We'll look at qtpie again, it took him 400 games or so to get out of h1, but he was still toxic in some off those games. Since a lot of the higher elos don't report each other, it may have been slightly faster for him. But regardless, he was still would have been validly reported in those games, which wpuld drastically slow down his honora progress.

I've seen cases here of people getting out from h0 to h2 in 250 games. So it all depends on how you act in game.

Side note; did you know that the system has the capability of reading context? It can identify that you are using positive language to encourage others and your honors progress will be accelerated.

Ofcourse they dont report eachother cause they know that cussing someone out is normal f they screw up. they play for money if you looe you get less money thats why you get mad its the low elo players who dont get that and those 13 year olds who need "safespaces cause words do hurt" that ruined this game.

It hurts that you won't get rewards that you earned.

All because of another player. Never honir anyone from now on.

What hurts is that for last year’s standards I would still be eligible, but this year I’m not because I can’t play League all day every day

Yea, rewards should only be disabled for people who use scripts or elo boost.
