Flaming happens in chat, so instead of a permanent ban, why not opt for a permanent mute? And don't give me the "communication is important" nonsense. You can still send pings and don't really have time to do anything else if you're focused. Do you see LCS players typing away, no they are too busy playing!
Because if you are enough of a jerk to get up to a permanent ban from just flaming, we don't want you around.
Toxic player when chat restricted still find ways to harass players Ping spam, feeding,afk,not trying.... etc So a perma chat mute would in all likly hood, just result in a larger pool of feedering/afkers than just banning people for being dicks
Are you sure a person who is toxic in chat won't have toxic gameplay ? Refusing to help teammates , not helping with vision , stealing buffs and making selfish decisions ? I think not
