Getting tired of "League of Punishments"

League of Legends seems to have a bizarre cycle of punishments. It almost feels like the behavior system was created by someone who was locked up in a room and abused in their childhood for years on end.

I think Riot needs to take a look at the punishment system and figure out what the goal really is here, because the system doesn't exist to prevent bad behaviors. It exists to punish you for dealing with others bad behaviors. The system also creates a reward for reports culture where reports are free and falsified reports aren't counted.

These are all situations we face everyday here:

• Player threatens to troll in champ select unless he doesn't get his way? Deal with it or get punished.

• Teammates ban your champ or pick it in a troll pick situation? Deal with or get punished and don't you dare say a fucking word to them about it.

• Someone AFK's after the 3 minute mark? Deal with 4 or 5 or take a leaver punishment.

• Game is clearly over and your team won't surrender or the other team can't win? Deal with it or take a punishment.

• One player or multiple players are harassing you? You can mute them but the mute expires in post game chat, where you will take Round 2 of abuse and watch someone pander for reports for you. You want to say anything back? Expect a report since Riot goes by the rule of "it doesn't matter why you did something, it matters that you did it".

• Feeding player? Deal with it and don't you dare mention how he is wasting your time or guess what, punishment.

• Your power goes out? Fuck you, take a leaver buster punishment.

Then after you've taken your punishment or chat restriction, you still won't be able to receive loot for ______ games. Nope, it's not enough that you've already been punished, we need to further punish you more or at least remind you about past things by continuing to not give you any loot. And we will do this every game until it's over, to further hammer the point home that you are a detriment to the game. I've legit gotten this message for 3 weeks straight. The game also doesn't tell you when the punishment ends or what you can do to fix it, which actually would be constructive.

The second you enter a LOL Queue, you've lost complete control of your fate for the next 40 minutes. No matter what is done to you, the game expects you to have better temperament than even the pope. And even if you do, one 4 man Dynamic Q is all you need to get a restriction, whether you did anything or not.

Riot really needs to take a good look at things and figure out if all of these punishments are really stopping toxicity or creating more of it. Even the best teams in the world do critique each other and expecting people to have tons of downtime in a game and not say anything that could be mistaken as a criticism is crazy.
