My take on it is this, if you have a duo trio, quad whatever. If you do anything, your going to get; Flamed, Reported, and more than likely trolled be those grouped. For one example, I had a recent game when a group of players took it upon themselves to flame, call me a racist. At least three of em jump on the bandwagon (likely a group) and decided to harass, because I wasn't gonna have them (Jinx mostly, others joined in afterwards) flame me all game. So I just said I'm muting jinx, then all hell broke lose. And 2 of the remain 3 decide to flame me all game. Then post- game they decide to report me for Racism, toxic, etc. What am I supposed to do if they all decide to jump me because I was sick of their shit. Making bullshit claims, calling me racist in the post game lobby, and I don't even know completely the shit they where talking because I muted everyone after a short while. On top of which no bans handed out. I opened the pits of hell and and got bombarded with harassment but no bans were given out. Riot clams that one report is enough, they don't stack, but apparently we have very different ideas of what is and isn't allowed. All this in mind, I think some restriction should happen to duos, trios, quads, whatever.

EDIT: I already have 5 enemies, I don't need more because I mistimed my smite or didn't want to fight a 2v5.

  • First: They must have the a minimal honor level in order to chat. This is so they can still play, they just won't be able to ruin a game with it via chat. Strictly affects those of low honor. Not their team or fellow club/group. This can either be a light restriction, or a heavy one. Maybe depends on honor level?

  • Second: Building on the first, you could consider the groups total honor as an average, maybe enforcing restriction on the group as a whole (Intriguing but unlikely idea)

  • Third: If they fail the first condition, all chat is completely removed for that individual.

  • Fourth: Some sort of post game restriction, on chat. To be fair, post chat should be completely locked. So one cannot speak against another unable to defend themselves. But this is kind of bull for those not involved. And hopefully with the above conditions, it shouldn't mater. To defends this claim, if it is truly the case that one report is enough (not that i've ever seen it actually work).

Don't "call out" people. It's pointless, and will often serve to provoke or escalate a situation, as you've detailed.

If you're gonna mute somebody, just mute them. The whole "muted" or "I'm muting you" thing that so many people do is petty and passive-aggressive, trying to just get the final word in. Just mute. It's clean and efficient, and stops any further problems from happening. You don't need to "win" the argument.
