For what? Verbal abuse. For what? Actually telling the other team I was sorry how the game had gone. We blew them out. I mean, we're talking 36-4. And I honestly, actually felt bad because I've been there so I tried cheering them up with a ROcky quote about getting back up. And I got reported. Now I get to live in fear of a possible ranked ban/chat restriction. Welcome to League of Legends.
It's hard to portray tone through text chat alone. In the world of the internet, people are likely to assume the worst tone possible, and there is not much worse than getting stomped and having the winning team give sarcastic apologies to you.
1: Thank you for having some empathy for the enemy team. It's a rare thing to see these days, and I encourage you to continue to have it. You did a good thing.
2: That said, understand that, as Stokastic mentioned, it can be hard to figure out tone and intentions through text. Your apology was well-meaning, but the situation was probably the worst time for it. Depending on what you were playing, Ranked in particular, the anger at such a score was probably pretty high. They likely wouldn't have taken ANYTHING you said well beyond a simple 'gg'. Again, your intentions were good and I applaud you for them, but you have to remember the context and the situation. You have to use that same empathy that makes you feel bad for the enemy team, to understand how they might be feeling right now: frustrated, angry, and disappointed. In those situations, it's probably best just not to say anything at all.
3: If you do wanna try to cheer them up, while it's not much and it doesn't mean much, give them an Honorable Opponent bump. As I said it may not mean anything, but I rarely if ever get that particular Honor from the other team, and if I do to me it says they either felt I played well, or wanted to make a friendly gesture but didn't want to say anything because they knew how frustrated we likely were. If nothing else, at least you tried to be a good person while minimizing the chances of your comment being taken poorly.
Hi BG Xplicit You will definitely not get ban or anything else because of one report. That said you dont even need to get banned or feel any penalty at all if there was no reason for the reports (it doesnt matter how many). Thats what the tribunal first and now the automatic chat thingy is for. The only thing is when you get absurd amounts of reports (like every game) somebody will look into it but if you are TRUELY innocent there will be no consequences at all. Dont bite into all the guys that say "oh i got 200 chatbans but i did nothing!!!11" it already showed more then once that none of these guys where even close of beeing innocent.

Having feelings on the internet
It's not something I comprehend. People have been calling each other noob shitstains for the entire existence of online gaming.
bro I have been reported while not speaking a word of trollage or insulting people multipul teammates report if you had a bad game and they are raging out
u know wut im talkin about everyone dose
= banned for no reason : very common because they know more people who report u good chance getting ban
If you're saying you got reported because you received an in-client pop-up warning after that game, you should probably be aware that those warnings are not given for single reports, but for "spikes" in recent reports compared to your normal average.
It's also notable that they don't show up immediately after the triggering report, but some hours/games/arbitrary-measurement-of-time later. This is to obfuscate who may have issued the triggering report.
The upshot of this it's extremely unlikely that you'll be punished for that game. I won't offer a guarantee because I don't know if you said other things that might be punishable, but the tone of your post implies that you didn't. However, if your behavior in other games was less than appropriate, you might have cause for concern there. Still, it's not likely to be a problem as long as you keep your nose clean.
Sorry about your incoming ban.
Maybe their sarcasm detectors were broken.
