Does Riot even care about the toxicity of this game?

For starters, I know about the mute button, but why should we have teammates that yell at us the whole match? This is supposed to be a team orientated game. I know ranked is much more serious than normals, however, flaming someone over and over isn't going to help that person. For example, I was playing a match earlier as Leblanc vs Brand. I didn't die to brand once in lane but was down cs. Brand roamed bot lane more than once. I pinged multiple times and even followed twice. I stopped following to push my lane and farm, which I ended up getting tower and a kill on their jungler. My support, Thresh literately ranged at me the whole time. He would insult me because I was in Silver while he was in Gold. He also would type in all chat that I needed to be reported, all because he wouldn't listen to my pings nor ward half of the time. As soon as I saw Brand leave, I would ping missing and danger to bot lane multiple times. Thresh would lie to the enemy, saying "I only pinged once" and that I was "bad." 10 Minutes into the game, when he was 5 deaths in, he would immediately say "GG it's over." and every time he died. We had a good team comp and our Trist even got a penta, but Thresh refused to listen to both us when we said we could win, since we were making a come back.

I think it is ridiculous how many times a person can flame someone and not be at least chat restricted. I know from experience, since I was never banned from being toxic, because before I was _extremely _toxic. I started to release how angry I was becoming and stopped playing for a while. I came back and I am no longer toxic now. But during those days, I was never banned nor chat restricted for my behavior, which honestly, I should have been. The only thing I never told people to do was kill them selves, which I have been told by multiple people in this game. I think that if you actually tell someone to kill them selves, you should be chat restricted (maybe that's just me, but I don't think that is a funny nor an appropriate thing to tell someone).

Now, has Riot addressed toxicity in a game? From what I have heard, new players are having a horrible time with it. But that just doesn't stop when you've been playing for a while.

And I am pretty sure many people are going to tell me to mute someone, but that doesn't solve the problem. They're just going to attack another person.

My teammates and 2 members of the enemy team reported a very toxic MF. A minute later after he bragging about only getting a warning I got a pop up saying someone I recently reported got banned -- and I only have reported her the whole night. They do care but they don't always get the culprit. Just thankful this MF got banned. Just report and mute and hope they get their just dessert. Good luck in the future.

Most of the toxicity extends from people who suck at this game and have no intention to improve and waste the time of the people who do want to improve. Stop kidding yourselves and fix this and you fix the toxicity. There are two sides to every story and regardless of how subjective it is, people suck and have no business playing this game and those that do and continue to suck are not being encouraged to get better. This creates many frustrated people who draw these assholes in their games and because they have no way to prevent this stuff from happening they get toxic themselves.

It's that simple but the brainiacs at Riot and those that think this system is fair never look at the other side of the coin, ever.
