How to deal with toxicity in LoL

We allow players to be toxic and we put in voice chat in the game. I want you guys to see the other competitors with LoL and I'm going to start off with Leagues biggest rivalry Dota 2. In dota 2 there is voice chat in the game, and if you played Dota 2 you know that some players are Russians or Philippians and they say some pretty harsh stuff. But what does Valve do about this? Make it were you are only able to report some one 3 times a week . I played about 70 games on Dota, and so far I haven't got reported for calling my team a ''cancer faggot.'' Same thing with CSGO they have voice chat for better communication cause you know it's not a team game or any thing. And what does Valve do when some one calls me to get cancer? Nonthing. Why the hell doesn't Riot put a built in voice communication and allow players to be toxic? This is Riots main problem for such a long time and this is probably one of the best solutions to fix it. I can probably see a lot of people getting mad over some guy calling them a ''queer'' or any thing offensive and intentionally feeding or afking. And how do we solve this? Same shit as Dota and CSGO we make it an option to leave the game and that guy who leaves the game gets punished or we can allow the team with the afk to surrender if the player doesn't come back in a certain amount of minutes. Communication is always important for a team and no one likes to type a sentence letting people know were they warded or what ever. They should test this out in rank and see what happens. If the increase of afks or people trolling increases Riot just removes it and tries some thing else and if it goes well we keep it on rank. Normal is just a normal game but in rank people actually want to win and play competitively.

You've never had toxic people in CS:GO? Please tell me what server you play on as I CONSTANTLY have that one asshole that spams his shitty rap music all game, or that 15 yr old kid that squeals and pretty much just talks nonsense in to the mic... all game.

With Dota2... I've played five matches, four of them people were flaming and calling people newbs and telling them to uninstall - which I promptly did.

Not sure why people continue to insist that toxicity is a League only problem. I work for an insurance adjustment company - we have people that can chat in and talk to us and they rage and scream and insult us all day long... and they are paying for our software... but still toxic. Toxicity has nothing to do with League players in general. People on the internet have anonymity and use that to bully and demean as it's just typing in their mind - saying things they would never say to a "real" person.

i typically use curse and try to get as many people in there when i ranked. voice comms op. i have had little trouple with trolls this way. I think its because people are less willing to call people names over voice comms.
