being toxic towards a cheater qualifies for a 2 week ban?

I just find it ridiculous how someone can troll/feed/intentionally lose games for their team, but then I'm the one who gets banned for calling them out and saying a few choice words to them...yet they get to walk away and ruin more games. Why do we focus on words more than people who ACTUALLY ruin games?

Let's assume these people are actually trolling/intentionally trying to lose.

What purpose does you insulting them serve?

Show them that you're angry? That's why they're trolling. To make you angry.

So now, not only do the remaining players have to contend with someone intentionally throwing the game, but now they have to deal with someone raging in chat.

And this is under the assumption that they are doing this intentionally and not just playing poorly. If they are just playing poorly, and you falsely assume that they are doing so intentionally, you're being a gigantic asshole to them.

Next time, just report them.

In addition to the above, it's many magnitudes easier to prove poor chat behavior than intention to throw the game. If they are admitting they're throwing intentionally in chat,

Just.

Report.

Them.

Riots punishment system is too fragile to say anything but too strong to say anything and not get punished for it, making the trolls more powerful than everyone else.

You can hide your feeding and you can hide being AFK but the only thing you can do is not chat. This is why even if you have a feeding troll they can get away with it by not saying anything.

And Rito won't delete chat despite the fact that doing so would stop 90% of its toxicity issues.

Actually they would need to delete the game too, as chat-restricted people can still troll, int, and afk, often seen to be more of an issue.

or add voice chat

Yep. It would be nice. It humanizes players, would help struggling players explain what's happening and also increases game quality.

im actually curious though. does saying certain phrases get you automatically banned? i was banned IMMEDIATELY after the game

Racial slur or insulting sexual orientation are known big ones.

calling someone a G%Y CH%%K N%%%ER would more than likely get you insta banned.

Well, yeah. Toxicity gets you punished.
