The problem with Riot and League

The thing about League is that it's filled with trolls who flame players for an entire game and then report anyone who fires back. It's ridiculous because Riot will punish the players who retort, instead of those starting the whole incident in the first place, while claiming "retaliation is not okay." No, but it is okay for people to trash talk for an entire game, then report anyone who can dish out more than they can take, and get away with it? I just got permanently banned because of this. They send you an auto E-mail saying that: "Your case was reviewed by your peers in the tribunal." which is a complete joke because the Tribunal says it's down for maintenance. The game is full of hypocrites who will report anyone for saying anything negative, while doing nothing but saying negative things to people themselves. It's completely ridiculous and Riot's way of dealing with these people is also ridiculous. I'm sure plenty of new players have experienced this type of thing and I'm also sure that it's very discouraging for them. I've been playing League for a long time now and I used to love it, but now I can see why all my friends stopped playing. Honestly, new players should never even consider putting any money into this game; their accounts will just get banned somewhere along the line. The game is fun as it's free-to-play, but truly not worth putting any money into. Especially not with such a toxic community that so avidly punishes their own toxic players. It's all just ludicrous. I wish good luck to any new players and all veteran players in the Rift, but good Riddance Riot!
