This is a rant about having your bot lane feed and then you get a splash for offensive language

Riot, I would have made a post to the subreddit but my last post got taken down and i felt like this was a more direct way of some riot member seeing my issues. I just played a game where i was our top laner as irelia and we had a duo bot lane of tristana as the adc and kindred as support. Now im ok with people trying new things, if you find a niche lane then thats great, but my issue is when the enemy ezreal as adc is 12/0 at 10 minutes. I was a upset as i was dominating top lane even after getting ganked several times. My issue here was i confronted the duo bot and told them that they were being an issue and ruining the rest of our team's game by feeding so hard to the enemy carry. They then rebutted that i was out of line for not "playing along" with their "new meta". After the game, some of the fighting had taken place in all chat during the game and the enemy ezreal told me that he was going to report me since i had been harassing them. Now i understand that i was not as plesant as i could have been with them, i find it just really demoralizing when i get a splash because the duo that fed and the person who they fed all think that i was the issue in the game and i get punished with a splash because they simply outnumbered me instead of being in the right. I just feel that they is no justice in this situation and feel as though players are just being taught to simply deal with toxic duos instead of trying to fix the duo and have the duo be less toxic or feed less. I did not have an issue with the duo feeding, its when the tristana told us that "she wasnt trying because it was a normals" which really just triggered me and made me try to explain to them that they were the ones ruining our fun instead of the rest of the team ruining their fun by not tolerating them feeding and then just being super bm about it.

TLDR: im super salty because duos feed and ruin your game and then get you a splash because they simply outnumber you

If you didn't mention the tristana declaring she wasn't even trying part I would've spoke against you, since playing bad isn't an offense - I know you didn't use words harsh enough to be considered harassment, but it still wasn't constructive and helpful to the situation.

However, if it's really true that the said player isn't even playing and is just randomly clicking the mouse, then I'd say while all of you have wrongdoings to some extent, none requires a report - let alone consequences.

Did you TP in to gank 4v2 for them? did you drop wards? Take dragon? Hit mid so hard that they had to leave lane to help so your bot could catch up? Did you do anything but sit top and think about yourself and how they screwed you over? Were you really having that great of a game? Was your CS in the 85+% range? Did you take top tower? did you prevent the enemy from csing? Take Jungle camps away from their jg? Gank their jg with your jg? Take herald? Did you build to counter ezreal? Did you tell your team how to build against him? It's an adc, not a god... they die in 3-4 hits, even when fed as fuq. You can stun them, silence them, avoid ALL of Ezreals damage since it's all skill shots...

Point the finger at yourself first. YOU are the only one YOU can control. The rest is ignore and report. When you figure out what YOU can do differently to win despite what they do... you will advance.

Number of reports per game aren't what is looked at and checked against. 1 report triggers the check, if the system finds "behavior" that is a "positive" for "behavior" it checks for then it forwards that information for review by RIOT. That positive response issues a warning. IF, and ONLY IF, you were actually against summoners code or ToU or there is a verifiable pattern of "lesser" offenses will you be issued a penalty. The system works. I curse ALL the time in game, I get a TON of warnings, I get ZERO restrictions.
