I just played with the most incredibly toxic team; literally all of them harassed me and told the other team to report me. I just got off of a chat ban, so god knows I didn't need that, but even worse is that Riot doesn't even get to know about how shit of an experience they gave me. I didn't even want to play again. It's so oppressive and defeating when your entire team hates on you.

What I usually do is AFK. Hear me out.
To me there's only two ways to do deal with toxic and bullying teams, the first is either by carrying their heavy asses and ignoring them completely or the second is by leaving because you know you're losing badly and do not want to fight a losing battle (both the argument(s) and the game for another half hour). The only way to get across to those assholes in a losing situation is by quitting, yes afking and logging off because a stupid game is not worth the stress and there's better things to life than fighting an unwinnable war with hard to win games and a shit community. Let them be miserable in their own shit world, that's what I think should be done.
Atm and before I've been banned because of leaving and tbh with each 7 day ban that I receive I feel like I've done something worthwhile because I dont have to log on to have a bad time every game and always argue with miserable people. The miserable ppl I encountered during the games I left don't deserve to win or have the right to waste my time and make my experience a shitty one..
I've been in the same boat as you. Chat banned to hell and almost every game I feel helpless because I can not defend myself against four or even nine more bullies.
After my ban this past friday, I got really close to uninstalling. What holds me back is all the time and money I invested. Friends I met on this game, who were super patient and nice have gave up on this game, I mean we used to play a ton in the summer as a group, but only 2/7 of us still play.. my friends in rl as well have quit because the community in league is unbearable and impossible to play with.
Imo solo q is what tears this game apart. Its only fun when you play with decent non toxic ppl, andnowadays getting a decent and nice team is just the luck of the draw, and that percentage is slim compared to the chances of getting a disrespectful team.So I'll be taking a break but im am srsly coming to the point of really uninstalling, and each time I get banned i realize more and more that the game isnt worth the negativity because of its endless unwinnable war with toxic ppl.
Again, I understand where you're coming from and I hope you understand what I mean.
TL;DR Leaving assholes to burn in hell among their miserable selves is my best solution. Eventually when they get tired of losing and observe each time they cause a person to quit (and hate the game even more) they'll learn to be respectful because they'll get sick of being in bronze/silver and will regret the LP they constantly lost everytime they were being a big fat toxic bully.

What if your team is not losing? What if it's only one or two people being assholes?
In my experience toxic players are going to be toxic and it's rare to get a full team of them. By afking you're punishing everyone, not just the one guy blaming you for everything. I suspect you're also reducing the chances they get punished for their behavior. Come the end game screen I may or may not remember who shot a few lines of disrespectful text back at minute 5 but I sure as heck remember who left game at minute 7. That means I definitely report you and you're not here to make sure the player who started it gets reported instead.

Yeah it's not as huge of an issue with one or two toxic players of course it's not worth afking then especially when you're winning (no shit), but as he said, when its 4 or even 9 it's just horrible and it becomes an even more horrible experience when you know you have to deal with it for nothing in return (losing)

Saianna1 votesWell, after watching how ARAM and normal SR change I've came into conclusion that Riot prefers protecing toxic players. Weird logic but w/e
Thunder Dreamss4 votesPlease explain. How do ARAM and the new Summoners Rift promote or protect toxicity?
Saianna1 votesARAM = reports have almost no meaning, you no longer see nick of a guy who dodged the game. normal = fun mode garen ap YOLO, ppl go afk, ragequit or troll. And things just get worse.
All that matters are rankeds. Meh.
Btw where did i mention i'm talking about "new SR"? I was talking about gamemodes. L2read pls.
Thunder Dreamss4 votesYou said the "normal SR change." That sounds like SR is changing in some way. The only way the map has changed recently is the update.
ARAMs I can see your point. You have no chance to report people that dodge because they don't like their random champion. I would hope Riot tracks these things but who knows.
Normal mode. You do realize you can still report people that go afk or are otherwise toxic, right?
Saianna1 votesIt changed by how players see normal and Aram. Before rankeds "normal SR" was only mode they could play competitivly. Now they have few more options. So player decided to look at "normal SR" as custom game, where rules don't apply.
About reporting, you realize value of report differs depending on mode you play? Friend of mine purposely been reported more than 40 times in 2 days in normal SR. (he was behaving ok, he just asked to report him). Nuttin happend. Not even warning.
Thunder Dreamss1 votesRiot applies some machine learning to reports to sanity check weather or not they are valid. Even if people actually reported your friend like he asked I expect the punishment system was able to detect the reports were fake.
BallisticMouse1 votesWe need to be able to report people in pre-game lobby and end-game lobby.
Just because people know you can't report them in those times, they treat each other like shit and then act nice in game where they can get reported.
