Why does riot protect Trolls instead of help people who get trolled?

I had a Garen on my team, i ganked him second at like 5 mins in, was a successful gank, everything seemed fine. Then This freaking Garen comes and starts trolling me taking all of my jungle, like a pleb. I, obviously, a little ticked about it, start cussing at him telling him he needs to freaking stop and play the game like everyone else is and stop ruining the experience for 4 people. So after an entire 40 minutes of this not being able to farm, team doesnt want to ff bc its ranked i totally get it...but then I reported garen for trolling, he reported me for getting ticked at him for trolling. But guess who got the 14 day ban because they got trolled all game.....I thought RIOT was supposed to side with the people who actually enjoy playing the game and not the people who RUIN the freaking game for everyone else. Sure I was a little mean to him, but only because he forced a loss and trolled me the entire game....if i were to leave i'd get banned for afk if i just sat there i wouldnt have been able to farm or do anything, but I get the freaking 14 day ban because RIOT thinks the trolls are the ones who need protected. I have purchased so many skins, champions, emotes, what have you and after all that....I'm the one who gets the ban, not the Garen who trolls 4 other people and totally ruins the gaming experience for everyone else on my team. Multiple people reported Garen also, for trolling, but guess who is still online and active and able to play....a TROLL....excellent job RIOT. WAY TO KEEP THE TROLLS ALIVE AND ABLE TO PLAY FOR EVERYONE TO HATE THEM!!!GREAT JOB! DOUCHEBAGS

Nobody owns the jungle. Even if he was trolling, you have no right to harass, berate, or abuse them for it.

You can report them for their actions, but others can also report you for yours. If you stoop to the level of bad behavior, you are just as bad as whoever you're getting mad at.

Finding out if someone is trolling would actually take some time and effort as it must be manually reviewed. Your chat however is just scanned by an automated system that looks for certain words/phrases.

So it seems you got a 14 day ban, which means you either have a history of bad behaviour or used 0 tolerance phrases.

Another player acting up doesn't give you the right to also act up. Before, your team only had to deal with 1 player trolling. Then they had to deal with the Garen and you raging in chat at the Garen.

Trolls do get punished, just not as fast as we would like. It is infinitely easier to find chat offenses than gameplay. It is one of the reasons that there are 'usually' more punishments for verbal problems before a perm ban.

Why didn't you just ask him to stay in lane and u will gank for him if he ignored go top lane take farm top and say to the team that garen has abandoned his lane so you cannot gank. Then report him after.

He might have just been bullied in lane and took gromp because it was too dangerous to push and you flaming him caused him to tilt and take all the jungle.

If you have nothing encouraging or positive to type into chat just don't bother it won't help you to win at all
