A 'what if?' for grading system

Lately I've seen a lot of instant feedback report cards for reporting players who deserved it. I've also been getting rewarded chests and keys on an off from the honor system, I guess? This got me thinking.Our match and lane role is all recorded and graded by our healing, minions, turrets, drakes, baron, kills, assists, deaths and so on. That's real great and all. However, would you think that the player actually deserved it, the team respect or even the honor?

What if we were also graded by a mechanic based around our chat log? For example; if the chat log during the game read a line or word that goes against the system then it would deduct the grade by one point. S+ to an S. Of course there needs to be a cool down and a counter for when you're actually just bs-ing with friends but to actually say something offensive weather they didn't care or not should still be accounted.

Riot has a pretty good hunch of strong, misused words that aren't appropriate. So if any words were to appear every once of every 5 minute cool down, then it would deduct their grade every time.I feel like this would STRONGLY change the way people play in a game and stop them from crying in all chat "report this guy" for something they should do on their own. Or stop people from shit posting on others and comparing scores like they're special.

It seems like something that would knock a few buckets of toxic waste off the shelf and definitely teach players to take reforming more seriously. People really want to achieve things with their game/champs. Sure, we can chat ban, suspend or perma ban them. But what's actually stopping them from doing it again?

You have to take away their dignity by deducting their overall performance if they are not socially performing well. Just as the new honor system will separate the good guys from the bad guys, so can this. While we're at it.. add a thing that shows the player's over all grade performance on their profile based on their average grade. Kind of like a benchmark.

Even if you lose 20 games in a row, at least your grade wont be bad if you play good enough and not harass other people. That will show true sportsmanship. A game loss should never count against your performance or your honor.
