How many games can you intentionally ruin before being banned?

Serious question. I saw that one Nunu guy with 60 games trolled in a row and no ban. Only reason he got banned was because somebody @RiotSupport and then even with 47 losses and building zeal items and going 0/10 in nearly 47 games they still tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. What's the line on the amount of games you're allowed to intentionally ruin without being banned?

The ban system doesnt work. Riot just wont admit it. The only way trolls like this get banned is through support tickets. Hitting troll in post game lobby does nothing.

I have removed the picture as it did show the username of a player, which follows the Naming and Shaming rule:

No personal attacks or witch-hunting, for any reason. Do not make posts accusing another player of causing a negative in-game experience, cheating, trolling, or any other malicious activity, even if you have hard evidence. Posts calling out other players for inappropriate names are likewise forbidden.

This shit has gotten so much worse since that smite support Nunu and Singed stuff went down. Back then the system was a lot stricter of what is considered intentionally feeding. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't perfect by any means and people would still find ways to avoid it, but it was a lot stricter.

Then those two players got banned and the community lost their shit. "OmG rIoT hOw CoUlD yOu?!?!?!?!?! We DEMAND yOu ChAnGe ThE sYsTeM sO tHiS nEvEr HaPpEnS aGaIn!!!!!!!!"

Of course Riot caved to the knee jerk reaction and set the standards so laughably high for inting/trolling that most people don't get punished unless they buy 5 tears and literally run it down mid

The rational way to deal with this is to ban the vast majority of these cases where someone goes 0/20 or whatever as the vast majority of them are trolling and correct the small number of cases where they arent.

But noooooo. These two cases take precedent over everything else and we must virtue signal to Riot by defending these two players and demanding the entire system changes to deal with a tiny fraction of fringe cases instead of correcting them as they pop up

At least 200. Assuming you don't call people names. If you start being mean, 2-3. Lol.

I seen a troll manage to go 250+ games of blatant trolling before he got banned.

And it took rito over a month to decide whether or not a 6 Doran Shield Support Zed was trolling.

What's the line on the amount of games you're allowed to intentionally ruin without being banned?

They won't draw a line because that sets an explicit allowable amount that trolls will intentionally stay just below. It's the same reason the honor system uses varying values rather than static points. It prevents people from consistently abusing the system to grief others while staying out of the punishment zone. With the vagueness they have now, hardcore trolls risk penalties. Sure, some get away with it. Not all do.
