Ranked Restricted games are more toxic than rankeds

Full of toxicity. I'll give you one example that happened an hour ago, something similar happens in every normal draft game though: I went ADC, and I had a pretty bad support (didn't tell him that or typed anything regarding that), so I asked him if he could roam because we are losing lane anyway. He started raging at me, and I went to roam myself - now the entire team flames because I didn't stay bot to eventually feed. At this point, I have everyone muted and never used chat again. I was doing well and we won.

The endgame lobby chat? "Report Cait"; also, because I was Diamond last season and they saw my border, they accused me of buying it. Just out of curiousity I checked their divisions and it was no surprise to see Bronze, Silver, Gold.

I was raging in rankeds before? True. Now, you give me draft normals to win where I meet toxic players in every match and expect me to improve my behavior? Where's the logic in this?

I'll just make sure not to type anything at all in chat and ignore everyone I guess, but even then I get reported for my actions such as roaming and getting kills from doing that.

PS. I see no point in punishing raging players from rankeds, it is a competitive mode and it is inevitable, it just happens. If players would use /mute it would be a better place. Instead of punishing tryhards that happen to rage, maybe you want to punish AFKs, trolls and especially very bad players that obviously are eloboosted and nothing done against them.

Most players that get punished learn their lesson and never do it again. If you feel that it's still ok to rage at others in your Ranked games, you're going to get restricted again because it's not inevitable and it's not ok. The mute function is not a free ticket to harass others. By the time they mute you you've already done damage that has harmed the game.

isn't the whole point to restrict the most toxic of players? so system is working as intended?

". I see no point in punishing raging players from rankeds, it is a competitive mode" Raging make you less likely to win, since you aren't focused on winning anymore. Raging in post game because your team thew 4v5 ? Okey-ish. Flaming someone who is having a bad game ? Not cool, and you are better off surrending.

0/5 isn't even "terrible" in soloQ , and he can alway get a few kills / assist / farm and come back (happen often) unless you flamed him, because if you did , he won't care and won't try harder.
