More effort on rooting out trolls, less effort on bad language?

I suppose Riot likes to focus on name calling and rudeness in chat because it's easier to find, but I've never lost a game because someone said something mean to me. I have lost a game because I had a Cait mid who said in pregame "oops, this is ranked, tee hee." I suppose she wanted to dominate anyway and tell us we never should have doubted her, but instead she gave up 5 kills and went afk. Is the person who says "ez" in allchat really a worse influence on the game than she is?

You can report the Caitlyn for the behavior you described.

Also if you don't rage at her and call her names there is nothing she can report you for.

Also consider that anyone else in your game now has to deal with an afk AND a rager...

You've never attributed a loss to that, which is not necessarily the same thing. I doubt you're omniscient enough to be able to accurately psychologically analyze every game you've ever lost.

Sounds like a value-based false dilemma to be. Where are you getting that impression? Do you think chat restrictions for toxic chat are a more severe punishment than low priority queues and LP loss for AFK?

There is no focus. Its automated system for flaming. Its done. Its not like someone is wasting his time and energy on flaming reports when he should focus on "trolls" as u said.
