When is it BMing or verbal abuse?

I played against someone earlier and they told our Top "Get ****ed" and gloated about being diamond for one sentence.

Then, in the post game, after I said Kha'zix bursts too fast (they were fed though), they said something and called me a loser.

Is it either one of those? It felt a little insulting.

It's verbal abuse. Just report and move on!

Youre allowed to taunt, such as making a joke when you kill someone, or daying "missed me" whenever you dodge them.

You are not allowed to outright insult or belittle the person.

Its a video game with both a mute button and an option to turn off all chat. If you considered that interaction offensive then I guess congrats to your first day on the internet

You shouldn't ask the boards what's abuse since everyone here is a sensitive child and will try and get you banned for saying "ez" at the end of a game. I would say outplaying someone and writing "get fucked" or "easy as fuck" or the classic "you're bad" or bragging in any other way really is just trash-talking/BMing. Obviously that's not the case if you just spam "get fucked", then it is harassment. Being called a loser or trash or garbage however I'd say it is verbal abuse. Just report and move on, don't send tickets for this shit, you're just wasting people's time, just a report is enough if it's about stuff that's being said in the chat. Only send a ticket after a report if it's about intentionally feeding/griefing.
