If you get banned for THIS, what CAN you say?

So a troll actively and openly states he/she is feeding at 3 minutes. Opposing team laughs at us and flames us. This is how my side went, and I was banned for it. If this is the level of what it takes to get a ban, then I might as well perma-quit this game now and leave it to the kiddies to play so that they may continue to uplift each other on the rift without me. Before I do that, I want to know what y'all think.

Behold the conversation below:

Game 1 In-Game ranyhin2: :/ ranyhin2: reported ranyhin2: if you didnt care ranyhin2: you wouldnt still be here ranyhin2: reporting ranyhin2: enjoy the ban ranyhin2: yup iwas banned for that ranyhin2: n my other ranyhin2: literally said she was feeding til the game ends ranyhin2: so report ranyhin2: when she says she is feeding til game ends? ranyhin2: uh yes? ranyhin2: /all ranyhin2: ok so yall dont want to report irelia for actively and openly trolling. cool ranyhin2: i hope it happens to all of you soon ranyhin2: you're an idiot ranyhin2: riot just needs to perma ban people who do this openly ranyhin2: lol ranyhin2: 14/1 top lane ranyhin2: sucks, trolls top afterwards, then says no to surrender ranyhin2: gotta love it ranyhin2: ^ ranyhin2: we didnt flame bfore int ranyhin2: ^ ranyhin2: do you tho ranyhin2: lol you really are an idiot ranyhin2: lol ranyhin2: not tilted tho

You can say almost everything.

What you got banned for was flaming from start to finish in truly pathetic fashion. Pretty high bar, really.

You dont get keyword banned, this is not bloody club penguin. Punishments are for intent, and your intent was harassment.

Nothing that can be deemed offensive or harassment. Because retaliating doesn't do anything or accomplish anything. Nor does asking for report do anything, because one report counts as 9. The main point of this game is to play it. If someone is ruining for you, flaming or harassing you, then you need to mute them and report them after the game. The chat is meant to be used for communicating or having appropriate fun, anything that isn't against the policy.

Retaliating is just as bad as initiating it. Because any sustaining toxicity is a bad influence and experience. That's why Riot doesn't tolerate it. So you say nothing and act against it by reporting them.

In general, Riot doesn't give a shit who started it. They expect and demand that you just clam up and don't contribute to it by chiming in on the griefing.

It's pretty simple - you can't spend the entire game flaming or harassing people ever. It doesn't matter what you think they're violating the rules.

You could not use reporting as a threat for the purpose of harassment.

Don't type in league of legends. Rule #1 . Riot has no idea what real toxicity is. and saying "bad words" that instantly get you banned is a ridiculously stupid system. The only people getting banned are those that want to trash talk other people because of their toxic actions.. Riot endorses toxicity. but not if its a bad word.

This isn't toxicity.

This entire community needs some perspective. Go on a random chan board, 9gag and the pre google buyout youtube comments section. That's real toxicity. The things the league community call toxicity is truly laughable to other communities, which is why the community is so toxic compared to other communities. They scream "ban him" at the drop of a hat.

It seems paradoxical, but, the stricter community rules are, the more toxic the community in general. Look at soviet russia. Very strict laws, very toxic society. Same with Nazi germany. Very strict laws, very toxic society.

Devil's advocate here.

I'm pretty sure I see the game in question here. Let me throw out some statistics from the game.

Irelia with 16 deaths in 20 minutes. Very consistent deaths, apparently not playing particularly safe.

What else do I see, though?

Irelia has 3 kills and 5 assists, 8 kill participation out of 15 total on team. Enemy Top laner is Renekton, Jungle is Nidalee, both strong early game kill champs.

Early kills go as follows: Renek fumble/death at 2 minutes Nidalee death at 3 minutes Irelia/Renek kill trade Renek death at 6 minutes Irelia kills Nidalee in mid at 7 minutes Renek kills Irelia as a trade at 7 minutes Katarina kills Irelia at 8 minutes, maybe an int dive. hard to tell without context. Ezreal kills Irelia at 9 minutes

So, here's the basic game:

Irelia has a bad start early, going quickly 0-2. She somehow makes it up to 2-4, regardless, though the jungle has been lurking. A couple ganks go sour (including the 2-4 one), and the rest of the game is spent teamfighting, pretty much. with no real tank on the team. With a poke-heavy comp (Ashe, Ahri, Brand, Pyke, Irelia), she's the front line for every teamfight, and that spells disaster for Irelia against a very mobile enemy team that poses a heavy threat from very large distances, and from safety (Nidalee, Ezreal, Katarina, Nami, then Renekton as tank). If Irelia commits like Renekton commits, Katarina comes out and shreds everybody to pieces, often Irelia for having to commit so hard.

Basically, Irelia is between a rock and a hard place by team composition, and she actually decides to fight with the team instead of splitpush top and pray for squishies to feed themselves, and dies consistently for it.

This is not to say Irelia was playing well. However, after giving Renekton 6-1 early game (Pyke his only non-Irelia kill), Renekton spent the rest of his game teamfighting as well, and only 1 of his following 15 kills (21/2/4 Renekton) was Irelia. Yes it was early feed, yes Renekton got out of control for it, but that's exactly the goal for a toplaner to carry such a lead into squashing squishies.

My main shocker for the game is how an inting player managed to be the only one on the team to reach level 11, particularly when she clearly teamfought and/or inted basically all game.

TL;DR, This game is bad from the base up. Irelia was essentially destined to be fodder all game while others tried to squander whatever kills they could get.

And final note, this doesn't have to do with the context of the actual ban at all. However, this was a team game that was lost as a team, and when the team needed to come together, you focused on reporting your own ally with the enemy team rather than bringing anybody together. After that happened, you then got hounded by the enemy team for toxic behavior, and even defended that with insults. I don't know about bannable, tbh, but this is the behavior I despise the most from teammates.
