You can absolutely get banned for calling someone trash. It's an insult, plain and simple.

It's important to remember that players have bad games, champions they're learning, and roles they're bad at. Additionally, 50% of any given player's games will be below their average performance -- which means that, statistically, half your team is having a "bad game" by their normal standards.

If you're matched with them, it means their average performance is close to yours, so think about that before you call anyone trash. We've all had bad lanes and bad ganks before, but that doesn't make a player "trash."

lol the amount of lies people tell.. that is 100% not true. Obviously if smurfing.. you get matched with people relative to your accounts MMR .. has nothing to do with your ability to perform (except for over long periods of time), further.. ALL new accounts seed at a certain mmr.. so if you are silver 3.. you could get placed with masters skill player.. or bronze5 skilled players.. when they start placements.

You being ignorant enough to say it's not true is baffling.

I can relate to the urge to call a trash player trash. I can't relate to actually acting upon that urge.

Picking a fight by insulting your teammates risks tilting that teammate and making them play even worse, or provoke them into inting, soft-inting, or otherwise trolling in retaliation. Plus, it's unfair to your other three teammates, since any damage you do to morale and team cohesion is completely out of their hands as they watch the unnecessary drama unfold.

Trash: Discarded matter, refuse.

Doesn't matter what the situation is, you don't call another player trash.

Do you call someone retarded to their face if they have down syndrome? Do you call strangers fat when they weigh 400 lbs (~190 kg)? Do you call someone ugly to their face when you think they are? Would you call a teammate in athletics trash if they screw up and let the opposing team score? If you answered no to these questions then the answer to your question in the OP should be obvious. Treat people in the game how you would in real life. Just because there is a screen between you doesn't make it any different.
