Got banned by people instigating with me?

Welp there's my third perma ban. I've tried Riot I really have, for a short stretch I was really reforming but I just can't do it. I love this game but the anger management issues I was born with get the best of me in every game I play. I must say this time it was unfair I got banned because of people starting the argument with me by flaming or passive aggressive and then I get penalized when I respond appropriately to shit talk. I'm sure none of you can relate but when someone talks shit to me I instantly go 0 to 100 and I am powerless to stop it. I suggest instead of bans you do permanent mutes except for players they are friends with (I recall one 14 Day ban I got was from shit talking a friend I always banter with). I'll be the devils advocate for ragers and tell you guys you need a better system for dealing with people like us. There are people who are a little ragey but it's just because they are competitive and aren't forgiving when people make bad plays, these people usually can reform, and then they're people like me. I cannot stress enough how hard I tried to reform, I muted my team for a long series of games and I always ended up unmuting and arguing with them. I tried pulling the chatbox offscreen but predictably I pulled it back up and flamed them. I wish there was a way to force me to refrain from typing or a way I could only use keywords I would use it 100% all the time. But atm there is no such thing and players like me who genuinely love the game but are powerless to stop the rage get called toxic retards and are kicked to the curb. I'm not condoning my behavior in the least. but when I get penalized for being starting shit with me I can't help but feel an injustice has been done to me. I love this game Riot I really do, I'm trying out for the esports club at my college and everything I truly cannot get enough of this game as you can probably tell by my constant purchases. I would do anything to rid myself of the rage I have had all my life but there is nothing. All I ask is you make a system that actually reforms people instead of leaving them feeling like fucking dickbags and forcing them to a new game. Thank you for your time.

when I respond appropriately to shit talk

Responding by shit talking isn't appropriate, that's the whole problem. The best way to deal with someone else's negative behavior is not to do the same thing; that tends to escalate the issue, making you problem #2 that the rest of the team has to deal with. You may not be the instigator, but you are a participant where you otherwise could've just ignored them.

I highly recommend being more liberal with the Mute button. I find that I am not inclined to speak to a player I have muted, and I certainly don't have to put up with their shit talking as well. This helps significantly with most negativity in the game.

If you feel that engaging them is "defending yourself", well, "defending" implies that you are mitigating or preventing the problem. It's more likely you're doing the opposite. Muting is an absolute defense against negative chat, and when they find nobody is responding they tend to shift their focus back to the game where it belongs, and you get to do the same.

If you retaliate in an attempt to "teach them a lesson", put yourself in their shoes for a second; Do you really care what a complete stranger online has to teach you, especially if they are insulting you or being hypocritical? Not likely. If they are just not that great at the game, everybody does bad at first and still does bad sometimes, they'll get better or they'll get demoted. If they are toxic, report them and let Riot teach them a lesson which is more likely to stick.

You've tried muting and moving the chat box off the screen, but you circumvent your own restrictions to engage them anyway. I would recommend some other possible methods of removing your ability to chat;

Edit your config file to shrink the chat window size down to nothing (-150 is enough).
Use a 3rd party keyboard app, such as those inherent with most gaming keyboards, and change/disable your Enter key while League is active.

While everything to prevent this takes consistent effort on your part, you can also consider taking breaks from League to cool down instead of queueing back up after a bad match. This could just be for half an hour, or you could even take a hiatus from League and come back next season.
