Why is bad chat more punishing than gameplay troll?

The punishments are the same, but it's easier to detect and track verbal abuse than gameplay. That's all there is to it.

I'd like to add that trolling is actually even punished slightly harder, in the sense that it skips the first two tiers of punishment. (Obviously it doesn't make sense to chat restrict intentional feeders).

it's not though. you can get banned for intentionally feeding, banned for leaving games, and banned for talking shit. riot will catch on to all of these things eventually, but it's harder to catch intentional feeders and trolls because sometimes you can't tell the difference between someone who is bad and someone who is intentionally feeding, and riot doesn't want to ban people just for sucking obviously. but intentional feeders are punished hard when they're caught. hell, that's what got me banned a while ago, i've learned my lesson obviously but riot could tell that i wasn't just bad.

It's really not. However it is a lot easier to prove. Trolling requires a live person to review games. And 1 game won't get you banned it requires a history or SEVERE assisting enemy team/feeding/harassing teammates.

Chat bans are a lot easier and quicker to review as they do not have to watch entire games but can read/automate chat logs.

They will get banned if they have a history of trolling it just takes longer.

It's harder to detect than toxic chat. Take for example TahmKench w. He can eat allies to save them get them into position etc. However more than once I've been trolled by Tahm by him eating me and "saving me" when I was trying to dive the back line. Stuff like that would be hard to detect I would assume.
