I look at this game like a sport, or esport whatever you want to call it and follow the same guide lines/rules as any sport or game. Riot intentionally has /laugh /taunt /joke in their game, and if any of those were done in any sport or game they get penalized, its a form of taunting, aggression, and harassement. You see this in LCS, Normal, Ranked, and casters even talk about doing it, and its not even looked at.
So for example when people do this in a game I tell them to stop or stfu, they continue or even progress to verbal taunts like "salty", "mad", "bad kid?" etc. So I get progressively aggressive with my words, and I get reported and banned, 3 times because of this cycle. People don't seem to care or Riot about the nonverbal harassment part but all guns blazing for a lil verbal retaliation. It's not like I can just leave the game to solve the problem.
I don't want to hear you should just mute them, they have already crossed the line and started harassing me.
My point is something needs to be done about this cycle, everyone does it. No one seems to care, and no one seems to talk about it to my knowledge and goes under the rug. Removing chat and /laugh /joke and /taunt would be to quickest and easiest way to do a quick fix, or atleast start seriously looking into what types of harassment is and isn't allowed because it is not except able to be banning half the problem.
idk thats part of the problem I have in however badly I worded it.
