25-game chat restriction for "flaming" a toxic player, the toxic player doesn't get punished at all

So I played a game and this Vi did not stop flaming from the first minute of the game. I went back and forth with her a bit, but I didn't flame that much. I said "r%%%%%" twice and a "moron" once. That's it. But the rest were not even insults, I was just discussing with her before I eventually muted her. Her on the other hand, spammed the chat with insults during the entire game. And after the game I get punished??? And the she doesn't??? Now, how do I know she didn't get punished. Because the next game I played, the same player was on the enemy team and was again spamming insults in chat the entire game, obviously not having a restricted chat. Please, explain to me how this system is fair??? The automatic punishment system is flawed, and Riot is refusing to address the issue, as usual. I'm not saying I should not have been punished, but 25 games for those 3 words? And the actual toxic player doesn't get anything??? Fix your $H!T Rito.

The actual toxic player got punished accordingly.

Think that one over.

Not everyone's account is at the same level of toxicity. Think of it like a meter that goes up with every violation. Once this meter fills, you are issued the appropriate punishment. Their meter was lower than yours. You also used some choice words that Riot tends to punish a little more harshly, I believe. Like, I dont think r%%%%% is a ZT phrase (as those will get you a 14day ban first offense), but its definitely gonna get punished faster than calling people morons. Theres a bit of nuance in the system. Its not as simple as you seem to believe.

Furthermore, punishments arent always issued immediately after a game. Im not sure how this works, but sometimes people go a few more games before they get that chat restrict. Their CR may be on the way.
