Bullying becoming a large problem in League

I was recently in a ranked game. None of us had said anything and it was rather quiet. Top started to get ganked by the enemy jungle and still nothing was said. After another gank on the toplane, he started to comment "dont play jungle btw." At first , i started to ignore him because he was just being cranky about being killed, whatever. Eventually, the top's snowballed into other lanes, and every lane started to blame me, the jungler. However, i gave more than enough ganks bot, mid, and top. They all started to flame me really hard and bully me out of the game. I decided to defend myself and comment on all their bad decisions and how they can improve. More snarky attitudes and comments followed such as "Dont play jungle" "GG jungle" "our jungle is special :)" Later, I got chat restricted. Thanks riot. This is a terrible justice system where if one person gets jumped by 4, the victim is punished. I dont really understand this, but the game is falling apart :(

When it comes to league there's no such thing as defending yourself if you use strong language. Just ignore and move on. You can't control what others say, only how you react :) When you stoop to their level and fight back with words you're contributing to the issue not the solution. Don't poke the bears!

how is the "justice system" bad? you admit you critize your mates, you point out their mistakes. is this supposed to help them feel better? "but my team, started" and you didnt ignore them, you did the same as they did. so you all broke the rules, but you do it more frequently thats why you are banned. mute and report and move on. flame back and get reported.

The mistake you made was when you first started to ignore him, you eventually stopped.

Welcome to the world of Dynamic Queue premades. It'll always be the dude who isn't in the premade getting banned.

you can defend yourself, just don't use toxic language.

Now, if you'd be kind to do so and not blame Riot, post your logs and we'll point out to you how you can defend yourself without getting into trouble.

Defending yourself is Muting reporting and moving on. What you did is retaliate in a negative manner. There is no need to retaliate in a game where you can mute report and move on.

The comments are very surprising. Should we not be banning the instigators in the beginning to prevent this from happening? Why dont I just be a hypocrite and do the same and get 3 friends to flame and report one guy. We'll never be banned because its only going to be one report while we have 4 against him. We're are advocating bad behavior while punishing those who have no voice
