I think it's interesting Riot tries to foster a healthy community considering their design.

You enter champ select, and some guy starts raging and gets abusive, or perhaps decides to break the meta in ranked and takes a champ who doesn't belong in the jungle in to the jungle.

Can we report him? No, you have to actually play through an entire game with this person to have that option. Can we dodge? Not unless you want a drop in rank, and an automatic loss in your series.

So, you decide to stick it out and mute him in game. Too bad the muting doesn't stop the nonstop pings he drops on you every 30 seconds.

The game starts. You have /allchat turned off because you've had a bad day with enemies raging at you in it. But, it doesn't matter that you've muted the entire enemy team, because when you go to lane, and make a few good plays, but miss a kill on your lane opponent, he then stands there smashing his /t and /l and /d macros. Or, worse, he kills you and drops that badge signal showing you his mad skillz rank 4 champ rating.

I feel punished when I play League.

It's not just the occasional rude player that makes this environment toxic, but the very system we play in.

Dealing with people can be a really bad experience, I play this game because it's multiplayer and I don't really have fun on single player games anymore.

It's just a double edged sword, I play this game because it's multiplayer but then at the same time it's the human interaction aspect of the game that's the worst.

Humans suck. That being said, a report in champ select and a "kick from queue" option would be abusable to fuck by many people. And for your second point, it's a multiplayer game. Just be glad we don't have freaking squeakers.

I know it's not much but here's a few tips and solutions I do if this stuff ever bothers me.

-I mute everyone and turn all chat off. -I don't talk at all to avoid giving them the attention they want. -whenever I die I turn screen follow off and put the screen on the enemy fountain (that way you can't see any emotes or taunts ect just the fountain) -if ALL sounds in game are bothering me I turn game sounds off and put music on

People just suck. Not only in game but in real life. They suck.
