Literally nothing much to say, the title says it all. Rank games especially, like it pisses me off that Im just wasting my god damn time not even climbing but going back and forth with the same god damn bull crap for weeks. This is why this game gets no where and all the pro players are going to fortnite because its entertaining unlike this crap.

AFKs are handled by Leaverbuster. Feeders are harder to detect unless someone says "I'm feeding." There's no way to properly and adequately differentiate between someone having a really bad game and feeding, unless you can see that they're trucking it down mid all game. Even then, you'd probably need to submit a support ticket for a manual evaluation of that person.

People using racist/homophobic language, or generally flaming in chat is super easy to detect by an automated system. Behaviors, not so much, since the AI required to do such is probably more expensive/doesn't exist yet.

Swearing wont get you banned. Insults, negative attitudes, threats to life or property (which are illegal and yes you can have the authorities contacted for this and riot will comply), and various slurs will.

Also, its easy to check a chat log to prove something. Its clear cut and not deniable. This can even be automated.

Feeders arent reportable, intentionally feeding is. Big difference, and why its hard to prove.

Also, AFKs are automatically handled by a system that will punish you. Already solved.

Riot catches and punishes people for in-game behaviors more slowly than for chat behaviors. This is because they review those cases manually and are more careful not to falsely ban an innocent player.

Chat offenses are easy to catch by comparison. They can simply use a chat parser to look for patterns of language that are known to be toxic.

It's not that they do nothing. Rather, they simply handle the two types of misbehavior with systems that have different efficiencies. Trolls are still caught, it just takes longer.

here's my suggestion:

It may be tempting to cuss a troll out, but if you show them your anger then you are letting them win. They want that attention, they want to see evidence of your suffering at their hands. If you instead keep quiet, or better yet participate in chat but never address them or acknowledge them, then you will instead drive the troll to new heights of frustration. Try it, it's fun! And the best part is you're not doing anything wrong so you can't get in trouble for it.

Because if they addressed the problem in a substantial way they would lose money.
