I don't understand this system

I have to win 27 normal draft games to be able to play ranked again... this was because of "toxic behavior". Anyways, I feel like the league of legends community is so different from any other community in the entire world. Like if i say the F word because i messed up and died, i'll get reported, or if i say can you guys stop feeding, and i'll get reported. I cannot say a single thing, because everyone takes it as "toxic behavior". If i say ff20 because the score is 4-23 at 17 minutes, I still get reported, and i have absolutely no clue why. I feel like this community takes EVERYTHING super offensive, and then i get penalized super hardcore, and then i make a mistake and everyone trips out on me like its nothing. Do I report them? no. if they were saying stuff "offensive" or just trolling or something yeah i get the report, but like seriously? I don't know, maybe i am just confused on how you guys work..

Profanity is not (generally) the issue, being a jerk to your teammates is.

"Fuck, I can't believe I missed that skillshot!" -- fine "You fucking moron! Why didn't you save me!" -- not fine

or if i say can you guys stop feeding, and i'll get reported.

Um, yeah, telling your teammates they're feeding is extremely negative. Don't do that. I always strongly recommend to people that they never use the term "feeding" to describe their teammates' play, because it has highly negative connotations. It can also make people think you are going to report them for intentional feeding, which can make them report you back.

If i say ff20 because the score is 4-23 at 17 minutes, I still get reported, and i have absolutely no clue why.

"Hey guys, by the way you know we're behind right now, right? Have I mentioned how much you all suck?"

Calling for early surrender is also extremely negative and tends to piss people off.

I don't know, maybe i am just confused on how you guys work..

You might want to give this a read if you haven't. It at least explain's Riot's stance on how players should ideally behave: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/get-started/summoners-code/

saying ff20 when everyone is getting one shot, and they're at our inhibitors is negative sure, but when everyone is getting blow up... what are you supposed to do? enlighten me

Suggest to ff. If it gets shot down, then just play. There's nothing you can do, so you might as well just be polite about it.

...don't call for surrender early, and when the clock hits 20:00 then start a surrender vote if you still feel the game is lost?

Everyone knows your team's getting its ass kicked. Rubbing everyone's faces in it doesn't help anything.

don't call for it early? i know how UNPOLITE it is to let the team know what YOU want to do, i mean, that should be an instant ban right there. don't worry, i'll never ever ever say lets ff20 because of how much of a terrible thing it is. if everyone knows they're getting their ass kicked, what the hell does it matter if i say ff20? ??????? ? ?? ? ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

Because -- like I said before -- it's roughly equivalent to you saying: "Hey guys, by the way you know we're behind right now, right? Have I mentioned how much you all suck?"

It's really negative and doesn't help your team in any way. If people are already annoyed with you that's the sort of thing that may push them over the edge into reporting you. "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" would seem to apply here, if only to avoid getting yourselfi n trouble.

Are you going to get banned for saying "ff20" and nothing else? No, probably not. I'd put this in the same category as saying "bg" or "ggez" at the end of a match, where it's kind of a dick move but not that bad in isolation. (Although these sorts of things are rarely said in isolation.)

You know, I would be fine on their whole "say a bad word and get 50 game chat ban" stance if they ALSO punished trolls. But they don't. So I think it's stupid. We play a game where you can run down mid lane intentionally feeding and not get punished, yet the player that says, "dude stop trolling" does. It's a weird thing in my opinion.
