How to reduce cases of rage-support-tickets

All too often we see players come here posting about how they got banned and how Riot support would not help them.

And for most of us, it makes sense why Riot support was "unhelpful" in the not-so-humble opinion of the punished player. Usually the player issued ultimatums or was otherwise aggressive and uncommunicative with the support agent until support literally was forced to ban that player from making support tickets.

But what if there is a better way to handle this?

I think that if support agents looked past the player's demands and insults at least at first, they might be able to connect to the player and begin a line of communication through which the player and Riot could reach an understanding.

I understand that it feels like there is no warning, but for regular unsportsmanlike behavior and general chat, the punishments are indeed just warnings - like usually people get a chat restriction. But Riot does not feel like players should need a regular warning for things like racism, homophobia and encouraging self harm, that's why those sorts of things are immediately punished with a 14-day ban.

I don't feel like the way that the punishment system interacts with that is fair. If I had my way you would have different punishment ladders for different types of behavior, so that you wouldn't be at risk for a permaban after using slurs or telling someone to "kys" unless you did such a thing again. But I'm not in charge of it.
