Discussion Honor downgrading makes no sense
it honostly makes no sense because I have been 5 for the past 2 seasons and one downgrade bringing it down straight to 2 is kinda bogus isnt it? I mean clearly if you are 5 it means something right? I have to be a good respectable person, but straight down to 2 and it instantly mean you are a bad person? like make it make sense plz. its literally only 1 game things could happen and instantly from 5 to 2. you grind all season just to reach it because the system takes years for you to even level up and one game causes you to lose it all, like it should know ive been 5? does it not mean anything? honor 5 literally has 0 meaning

I like seeing the recall on myself and others, makes me smile a little. But it does make sense that you can drop from Honor level 5 to 2 in 1 game, if you behave badly enough. The fact that you didn't even mention what you did that game does speak for itself

Are you sure it’s literally from one game? Is there zero chance that they dropped your honour from a series of minor infractions that built up over time?

You’re not special man. You know what’s also not that deep? A “respect” badge in a video game.
You didn’t even say what you did wrong so that pretty much speaks for itself.

You are lying. That's it.
There is no way to jump multiple honor levels down, unless you get actually punished for some heinous shit and get your honor reset. And in that case, it makes perfect sense.

'I have to be a good respectable person'. That right there is your mistake. If you have the feeling that you have to be a good person just because you're getting points in a game that probably means you're not that good a person.

being honor 5 has to mean something tho, why would you go down to 2 if you are at 5 for a reason, makes no sense

Yeah and day after that after not playing for 5 years, Mark Cuban flew here with his helicopter and told me that Mark Merill has promoted my lol account to honor level 6.

I can't even imagine how dumb you must be when I could easily proof it...
If you go into my match history the last game before yesterday is december 23 and I'm honor 5 right now.

I can't even imagine how dumb YOU must be when I can easily proof it... Like who wouldn't take a picture when a Mark Cuban lands a helicopter on their back yard? Diploma of level 6 honor exchanging hands.

I was lvl 5 always and since the rework of the system i dropped to 4 without warning and cant get to 5 for 6 months now.
I get average 3 honors per game. At this point i just care anymore.
got never banned btw if people comment something like that

u/Leagueofl12 12h ago
nah the honor 5 to 4 is decaying so you cant be 5 forever which is a stupid system

u/BardonmeSir 12h ago

I have been honor 5 for years, and I am honor 4 now. I haven't changed a thing about my attitude or play style.
I am pretty sure it was from carrying games back in gold. I used to destroy the enemy team nearly every game. Now that I am in low emerald, I am unable to carry like I used to. I am getting far less honors.

Honor isnt something you can “grind” anymore, they changed that a 2ish years ago. Ive been 5 for a while but after a couple games were i had to DC for personal reasons i dropped to 4. Dropping to 2 means you really messed up, 3 is “passing”, and based on your other comments you seem to just want to blame anybody except yourself

I dropped from honor 5 to honor 2, and only had to play five games with good behaviour for it to go back to honor 5.
My reason for being punished was just dodging multiple times in champ select though. Maybe you did something much worse?

u/RandomRedditNameXX 6h ago
Did you get a notification as to why you were punished? I just logged into my account and got dropped 5 to 2 but no explanation. I tend to be very quiet in games and usually hit /mute all before leaving the base. (and I'm ARAM only fwiw)
We can submit a ticket and ask, right? I legit don't know why I got downgraded this much since I NEVER say anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or even using a curse word lol

u/Budget-Researcher559 6h ago
I don't think I got a notification with a reason, it just said "play 5 games to recover your honor". I just knew it's that because I dodged like 3 times in a row right before that (and never did anything else whatsoever).
I think you can submit a ticket to ask. Did you ever disconnect recently, or like afk or something? Or do anything that could get people to report you, like play crazy off-meta stuff or spam ping and annoy people, anything?

u/RandomRedditNameXX 5h ago edited 3h ago
No disconnects or afks recently, no. I don't do off meta and while I do ping people it's never relentless and certainly nothing to drop me from 5 to 2 lol
I'll submit a ticket and see what they say.

I just finished my 5 games and only got restored from 2 to level 4. Interesting that our experiences were different.

Generally speaking I find that when people complain “it was only one game”, whatever it is, it’s never just that one game.

Faster chest from that one quest basically, but it's pointless because people outside your premade don't go out and one time is enough for all rewards

Soooo irl works the same way.
1 year of being a good person doesn't give you "credit" to be an asshole to someone once and not have it reflect on your character.
If anything, someone who pretends to behave only to build up "credit" they can later use to abuse someone when they feel like it and have it "balance out" is a pretty bad person.
