Why do premades hold high report cred???

I've been banned multiple times. Every time without fail it's some trolling 4x premade and I'm the solo and they make the game completely unfun to the point where I have to point it out. They tell me to eat dicks, they tell me they wish I was dead or contract any number of diseases, or I should go kill myself. Then they "lol" and report me for anything and instantly I get a ban! The fact they were out to ruin the game for me (and it's always me, I'm always the unlucky one to get these toxic players) should make their reports worthless, not able to permaban me! Will I come back to the game? No. Toxic players should be clearly identified. And if the toxic players are the ones banning innocents, this isn't a fair system. It is a system that bullies rule, and are able to pick on solo queues. Their reports hold too much weight. Especially when they are literally only playing to cause misery for 1 unlucky victim each game, and to add insult to injury, they get to ban that person too! Should I have AFK'd out? Well, that's a ban too. The kind of disgusting language I need to sit through should get these people arrested and thrown in jail, not just banned from the game. But thanks Riot, I've been playing since Beta, and some troll premade finally banned me. You lost a paying player and one of the good ones! Your loss, not mine.

They don't.

The system counts the number of games you are reported in; it doesn't care about how many reports you receive in a single game.

In addition, Riot personally checks perma-bans before they are issued. If your behaviour didn't justify the reports, then you wouldn't have been punished for it.

These players are not the ones banning you, they are simply reporting you, and reports alone do not cause punishment. Reports only trigger a review of your account, and if something unacceptable is found, that's when you get punished.

Also, premade parties hold no more weight in their reports than solo players do. Multiple reports in a single game do not make the system look any harder or faster for something punishable; they are treated just the same as a single report. This means that a single report has just as much weight to it as 9 reports do, since they are both treated as a single reported game.

Another thing to note is that Riot's stance has always been that retaliation is unacceptable. It doesn't matter what others are doing, if you retaliate back with your own poor behavior, then you are both in the wrong. If someone is being toxic towards you, yes it sucks, but it doesn't mean that you should be toxic back towards them. The best response to people like this is to mute/ignore them and report them once the game is over. Remember, you don't have to point out what they are doing (and I'm sure that's not all you did, considering you got a permaban), no one is forcing you to do so; you chose to do so out of your own free will.

Seeing as how you would have just posted your chat log unless you have something to hide...

Unfun how? And how exactly did you point it out? I ask because you won't actually be banned no matter how many times you've been reported unless you've actually done something worthy of punishment. Also, Riot doesn't care how many reports your recieve per game. What they actually count is how many games you've been reported in. This is in place specifically to protect against multiple reports that premades may file.
