This may be controversial, but imma say it

on a news report maybe

for punishing flamers on a video game, nah not rly

Sure it does. The main context is whether you flamed. If so, it's punishable, regardless of whether it was in instigation or retaliation.

if your definition of that is "but they started it !!!111!!!1!" being valid then no, if its something like telling someone to kill themselves in aram because of their gold and lack of item then yes

Context Matters

In a perfect, ideal system should matter, yes. But is impossible to have it in LoL, an automated system can't judge it properly.

Elaborate, please. In your eyes, when does context matter when it comes to flaming?

What do you see as being valid justification for subjecting every player on your team to you being a jerk?

Flaming doesn't solve anything. If anything, it makes things worse.
