Why bad behaviour and RIOTS indifference

I've played Tribes 2, Team Fortress, BF42 and people yes do alot of crappy things to their teammates, but for the most part people wanted to win, be competitive, get better, master the Engineer/Scout/Juggernaut whatever. Maybe its because they were FPS games.

I used to think people were blowing stuff up or exaggerating, the last 2 nights has shown me different.

Night 1, we get a Teemo who bans my preference, I kind of whatever it, I was upset, he says he is a Diamond smurf, I say okay, ill pick Zac. FOR 62 minutes we fight this game out, ALL teemo did was wander the jungles tanking camps. Not only is he toxic, but it makes our ADC toxic to the rest of us cause we cant close the game out. Even the adventure of ignoring the teemo and trying to win the 4 v 5 was ruined.

Night 2, I get in a game, Normal Draft, the other 4 players all are in same club except 1, BUT they all have the same BLU at the front of their names. They come out and before I can make it to my second camps they have given up 4 kills, the Support goes afk, the Cho Gath who is supposedly the master mind of this trolling is dying almost once per minute.

WHAT DO I GET TO DO TO somehow never have to play with these people again, I block them, I report them. The Teemo I sent a ticket to Support under the general heading. I got back a very obvious standard response.

I spend money on this game. The tribunal is how long now gone? I program for a living, I know dealing with millions of users is difficult, but IMHO RIOT needs to do better, you hold players to a code, where is RIOT in this mix to lay a smackdown on bad behaviour. IMHO saying oh its automated, we deal with it, from this side of the computer. Its not satisfying, so what, in my ELO I could report every game, but do I no, cause I know I won't get feedback, and I have little faith that anything will be done about it.

Reporting just doesn't open windows of opportunity to let the previous crappy troll fest go, Reporting needs a buff.

in this game you cant leave when you are having a bad time. or if something in real life comes up. you are stuck in the game for the duration or face punishment. sometimes that can be 45+ minutes. what other game traps you for 45 mins with no escape?

in this game the performance of your teammates makes your character weaker relative to the enemies. in what other game can your teammates make you useless because they have fed the enemies?

these are toxic game mechanics. toxicity is contagious. the toxicity of LoL itself infects the players. and they become toxic and spread it further.

That is... a LOT of commas. I do however agree that Riot needs to be incredibly harsh on punishments. When a player violates the summoners code, they truly need to be punished for it. Too many second chances, and "warnings."

Reporting does something, you just don't see it. The system only shows you notifications when your game was the one that punished them (and not when it is down the road). Due to how the feedback works right now, too many people like yourself believe that the system doesn't do anything thus not bother reporting others. YOU ARE LETTING TROLLS & TOXICS GET AWAY!!

Eitherway, Riot is aware that the behavioral system's visibility sucks and will roll out new features (hopefully visibility related) after the new client is out of beta phase and running smoothly.
