Chat Restrictions
Chat restrictions are probably the worst possible form of punishment ever. In fact I find Riot's report system completely broken. First off, Riot Games, you all are NOT allowed to ban a players account if that player has spent money on the account. You do not hold that legal power and therefore within a time somebody will file a successful lawsuit against you. Now, back to the restrictions - most toxic talk could, arguably, take place MOSTLY in the /all chat. I'm not saying it doesn't exist amongst teammates, which it certainly does. But with 5/5 messages to say to your team is a very big handicap, and no type of management of messages could make it enough to where you can explain things, state a strategy, or anything else that a ping can not do. The only type of punishment Riot games has that makes sense is suspensions, other than that, it's a pretty fragile system with faulty chat restrictions given to players due to false reports since Riot doesn't properly investigate - and don't tell me they do...because I know for a fact they don't through personal experience.
