Is there such a thing as instant ban at all?

I don't know what triggers it, apparently"kys" or "I hope your mom dies of cancer" doesn't, majority of the players I reported got away with saying stuffs like that. Given how much Riot likes rng, did they implant rng into report system as well? They only ban a random percent of toxic players so that they don't lose too much money as a company?

Homophobic slurs, racism, things like kys are some examples of extremely toxic chat that can result in an immediate ban, but the thing is is that the reports have to be reviewed first. A review of a player's case (their reported matches) occurs when the case is large enough due to too many reports in too few games, so a single match reported won't trigger a review and they might not be punished for one occurrence of such behavior.

While sometimes you'll think of it as "A toxic player got away with extreme behavior", this leniency allows the average player to not get harshly punished for having a bad day, typically punishing players that are consistent in their negative behavior.

You should maybe edit your post since this

occurs when the case is large enough due to too many reports in too few games,

will end in a war were all flamer in here will start with "so report calling is punishable but DTN said it's about the number of reports"

I know exactly what you mean with your Explanation, but most will not because they don't want to :p

Well, I won't edit it but I'll add some stuff.

It only takes one report to flag a match for review, so getting more can't make it check a match any harder. Multiple reports may result in triggering a review faster, but they won't result in a harsher or false punishment; the player still has to exceed a threshold of confirmed negative behavior in a large number of these reported matches. Premade groups only have the power of a single solo report as well, so there's no abuse from premades with reports as well.

Triggering a review (not a punishment) based on report volume is a good thing. If 30 individual players decide on their own to report someone across only 5 games, chances are something is up and the system should check it out; if a player is reported 30 times evenly across 300 games, they are probably causing much less harm and wouldn't likely be reviewed. Trying to manipulate this is not good for the system and tends to cause drama of its own (being threatened with mass reports tends to upset players and distract from the match) so should be discouraged. Players can decide on their own what they want to report.

According to rito, Reporting a player for unsportsmanlike conduct usually gets their report reviewed in about 15min or so..
