You don't have any obligation to put up with toxic players

If someone says some rude comment, mute them, because chances are they won't ever say anything useful or polite after that, the tilt lasts for the entire game and for many other games until they stop playing or get banned. Don't bother trying to reason with them or lash back because you can then get into trouble as well and all you are doing is wasting your time playing a part of a middle school drama where you should be focusing on the game such as last hitting minions and dodging skill shots.

Most communication from teammates is usually either flaming or affirmation, you don't need it as much as focusing.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Unfortunately, unless Riot cracks down on toxicity, and I mean HARD, this is our game experience. You WILL have toxic players in every game, every elo. It is inescapable. Muting someone doesn't stop them from following you around the map and taking your CS while leaving a lane unattended, JUST to spite you. Not seeing their chat only does the bare minimums, while not addressing the root problem.

If someone goes to the effort of following you around, throwing the game, feeding because you muted them Open a support ticket after you report them I'd say games like that are rare, that people goto the extreme just to get under your skin.

MUTE and report will handle 90% of the problem

Again this isn't supposed to be the cure all for toxicity and reform every player in the world, this is to improve your game slightly by not dealing with toxic players harassing you with their chat logs, it is some help and it is better than nothing. Muting players and not responding to them helps you because you won't get in trouble with dealing with them and you won't have to sift through their rude remarks.
