I've honestly lost all trust in your behavior management.

I've been playing for over 6 years. I avoid ranked because of the sheer toxicity and saltiness, not to mention the surrender culture that's been going on recently.

But even so, even in normals i can't catch a break.

In the last few months toxicity has been so rampant it's almost unbearable. I recently got chat restricted for basically saying that i dont play ranked because of the guy who was elo shaming me. I feel like i deserved the chat restriction BUT (and lets be clear on this), if i deserve to be chat restricted for losing my cool for a game(and i did), why aren't people being banned for calling me/other teammates DOWNS, elo shaming, calling people trash, telling them to uninstall?

I literally just played with a Sona Sup who quit lvl 1 , then this enemy xerath justifies our sonas ragequit then threatens to report me because i told our teammate to quit asking the enemy team to report sona because it's probably a free win for the enemy.

I feel like very light banter gets punished more heavily than full on trolling/qutting/griefing and its really taking a toll on my enjoyment of the game.

Riot, If youre going to act so righteous and holier than thou about behavior in your game (which lets face it, is probably better than your behavior in office/towards players), at least don't make the system abusable/ pumish the wrong people. I mean i could start an account and play only tahm on it and W my allies over and over and the sytem wouldnt even detect it, same with anivia.

In the background of my mind I feel like trolling might be more enjoyable at this point than playing the game normally, that way i could get a slight laught and i wouldnt be punished as severely as speaking bluntly to people.

It really sucks to feel like trolls/toxic players are being punished less for worse behavior.

Yet nothing will change. why am I even writing this?

How is the system abusable, and how is Riot punishing the wrong players, and how do you suggest they fix it.

I stopped when you said you think you got a chat restriction for something mundane that isn't against the rules. That did not happen.

I'll just address this question.

The system punishes people based on consistency x severity. Meaning one can be punished for 1 game of extreme toxicity and many games of mild severity.

The things you mentioned range from mild severity to moderate severity. So it will take a few more games of similar behavior before someone gets punished.

Also take note that you don't always get a punishment notification. It's not that they go unpunished, it's more often that they were punished and not notified by design.

I'm just gonna repeat what everybody always says. If someone start showing signs of toxicity, mute them and report them. Hell even if I muted someone who was only midly toxic I'll report them because they probably said more toxic stuff after I muted them.

That's enough, and that's all you can do. Maybe if you need to vent a little you can say ONE "toxic" sentence back to them, while carefully avoiding any instant-ban words, but that's it. It's a discipline to acquire. And if you can't acquire it, then mute all at the beginning of every game.

Id say it gets punished more frequently, but not more heavily. The minimum punishment for griefing or inting is a 14 day ban. Consistent trash talk starts at a 10 game chat restrict. You dont even get punished until you do it multiple times, unless youre being really offensive.

Also you said you feel like people arent getting punished for trash talk, elo shaming, telling people to uninstall, calling them trash. But then you say you feel Riot punishes heavily for light banter? Really? Do you really think light banter gets punished heavily, but calling people DOWNS, trash, uninstall, etc.. doesnt get punished? Kind of contradictory there.
