Be nice.
Please be kind to each other on this game. There is another human on the other side, not a robot.

Be nice to the robots too, there's no harm in treating them well.
+1, to many people are not nice in theses games as they value winning over fun... i know some people only have fun if they win and thats fine, just dont be mean to people when you are not having fun.
Guess what, people in general aren't nice to strangers, especially when you push them into hyper competitive environments. It's not riots job to protect your delicate sensibilities. If you have a problem with something use your fucking mute. Riot shouldn't pandering to this BS and handing out bans because someone was a little mean.
I think the core of the issue is that this is a pvp team game and some people are just too hamm, they aren't really bad people they just get heated for the match.
Now I think they could have their own ranked system and it'd be baller to just let them have their own party, ban them if they fuck with people who don't want toxic in their games etc.
like a whole section of ranked mode only for toxic players, where it's almost encouraged.
that way they don't just get banned and grind back up to 30, start playing ranked again and trash talking til they get banned again
these dudes think it's worth it to them, so fuck it.
Internet Logic: Why should I stop being mean to people when they can stop being hurt by it?
They're not even technically wrong, it's just not a particularly strong argument, especially when the other side can say the same thing: Why do we even have to deal with you being mean when you can just not?
The entire argument, at least on any internet forum I've seen it on, is basically each side saying "Why should I put work into interacting with people?" Personally, I'm on the side of Player Behavior, because the people flaming and such are the instigators in this situation. By their own logic of "you don't have to be hurt by what others say and do", there's no reason for them to flame in the first place- they can just not be bothered by what their team is doing. If they stop themselves there, there's no room for anyone to be a sensitive bitch about what they say in the first place. In fact, if you think about it that way, the flamers are the ones being overly sensitive.
TL;DR People trying to justify flaming and saying it shouldn't be ban-worthy are essentially applying the Devil's Proof to human relations, and it isn't any less a fallacy.
