Why do people blame riot for their mistakes?

It's often that I see someone flaming riot for their own mistakes, like being banned or something like that. Not trying to make anyone upset, I'm just wondering why people seem to think everything is riots fault when it's really the players fault.

Because some people apperantly do not understand what it means to agree to terms. If I enter someones house and agree to behave and then kick their dog, they have the right to throw me out (and call the police) and I would have no right to complain. It really is a simple as that! Do not agree with the terms? Then do not play the game.

Because these players to need to quit acting like children and grow up. They know what they did was wrong, but still feel the need to blame riot for their mistakes. They make the rules. we follow them. If you can't do that then you have no business playing online games at all.

There are people who think that they have done nothing wrong and can’t accept it when it is shown clearly that they have done something wrong. This happens for both gameplay and behavior stuff in league. The jungler flames his bot lane for feeding instead of looking for what mistakes he did and how he could have played better to stop bot from feeding. With the jungler example: The jungler usually flames his bot because he wants to shift the blame to somebody else and feel better. Or He can’t accept the fact that he made a mistake or is wrong so he lashes out at somebody else (in this example it is his bot lane).

These types of people don’t really change that much and will always stay in the same negative loop, so it’s best to just ignore them (like muting and reporting him after the game) instead of arguing to try and make them accept their faults. You can help Riot show the toxic person the door (by reporting), but don’t get to a flame war or huge argument that gets both of you shoved out of the door (you get banned and so does the toxic person).

This was my reasoning, hope it makes sense and helped you understand why some people blame Riot or their teammates on a lost game.

To me, i see players that simply disagree with Riot on how chat is moderated, or how they believe their behavior didn't warrant a punishment.

Because banning is bullshit. You have a mute button. You can use it. There is no reason to ban a person that trashtalks.

Who decides what is punishable? Riot. Who decides when and how to punish? Riot.

"Breaking the rules" is the players fault. "Issuing a punishment" is Riots fault.

Imagine executions. The executioner is killing a person. The executioner is not assisting suicide.
