This stupid little statement people keep saying in my games should lead to a temp ban.

"It's flex who cares xd" "it's normals who cares xd" "it's preseason who cares" as they go 0/7/0 in my game. It's almost like they're griefing or something. This isn't a "oh it happens like once every 100 games", no it's literally 50% of my games. People just do not have any fucking courtesy of the people they're playing with, so they get high off their ass in their little discord parties and waste 30 minutes of peoples time because it's "flex who cares xd". I'm am actually not allowed to play the game anymore because people just do not give a single shit about who they're playing with, nor do they give a shit about the game as a whole.

Well they don't just say it out of nowhere. You must say something to them to get them to say that. Half the time I see someone say that, is because another person is raging and saying things that lead me to believe they are very frustrated and the game is actually affecting them on an irrational level, emotionally. That's why you need to remind them sometimes that it's only a GAME. You know, games... those fun things you play when you have leisure time that don't affect your life in any way unless you do it professionally. And you want to ban them for that lol.

I am beginning to enjoy how 90% of the threads in " Player Behaviour" could be solved by /mute rather than stricter policies by Riot. xD

Edit: This isn't something directed at you, OP. It's just something that I noticed and thought was funny. If the game is getting to feel like a waste, I recommend taking a break and using the /mute all feature.

Sorry, what? Sounds like you flamed out at somebody for not doing well and got banned for it.

I usually only say this if I find that someone is being toxic.

Chances are you are tilting. Which is leading people to say those things.

It does qualify as "giving up" and there is a report category for that.

They're deflecting responsibility for their actions because they can't hash it that they are at fault for the game going badly. By minimizing the importance of the game they assuage their own guilt over it by making it feel like less of a bad act.

Not that any of that makes it any better, and they certainly have no right to devalue the importance of at least trying in the game and not giving up if the team does not agree to do so.

Giving up on a game isn't an individual choice. It's not their decision to make for the rest of the team.
