DOES RIOT ban more often, lately those who flame and not inters/trolls?

I saw these weeks more threads than usually regarding RIOT s punishment system and most of them complained about RIOT punishing those who flame inters/trolls in their ranked games. I also have a friend who recently got perma banned without any 2 weeks punishment. He showed me those chat logs and he flamed a bit but not that bad to justify a perma ban. There were 3 games in which he had pretty much arguments but he didn t use any racist words or anything really offending to justify this kind of punishment.

I understand that in general those who flame should get a punishment but I m pretty sure that the number of flamers will be lower if they actually punish, for real those who int/troll or are toxic in other ways that chat, like going other lane and troll there, inting in general, etc. From what I read on boards lately and seeing those chat logs from that person who got perma banned, in my opinion totally unjustified I start to think that RIOT designed their system, lately, to punish much easier those who flame , ok, but how about inters/trolls ? They are who actually ruin our gaming experience, people who play ranked lose precious LP/Promos/Time for some who rage quit, open their lane after they died once and they haven t been ganked yet or those who say: "OK" then they run straight into enemies, inting without saying any word. I want to hear more opinions regarding RIOT's punishment system.

Riot is using bot to detect toxic players by scanning chat log of reported players. You cant do that with trolls/inters. Bot will not distinguish between troll and bad player.

More people get banned for toxic chat because there are more instances of toxic chat (WAY MORE) than cases of true intentional feeding. Being bad at the game is not punishable.

Of course. Flame is much more common in my experience AND its even easier to detect.
