We all know that fighting your way up the ranks (especially from silver) can be a long and trying journey. You go from having frantic tense games where you end up winning after 50+ minutes due to excellent teamwork, to games where someone already in champ select says "Im gonna make you lose guys :DDD" and so takes 20 min of your life plus the LP you just worked your ass off to get. So basically 1,5 hours in the drain. But who cares? You do. So after this happens a couple of times, these so called "trolls" starts to get to you. So maybe you start telling people to get thier ** together. Maybe you realize when a troll is ruining the game, and you just walk around, waiting for that timer to hit 20 so you can surrender (unless the troll has gained followers and they refuse to surrender).

So now you log in the next day and see that your account has been suspended for 10 days. You see a chat that proves how "toxic" you are. Saying things like "Good luck in bronze with that attitude" or "You should not main a champ that has been nerfed into the ground in ranked really" or, the worst you could possible say ..... "You are BAD" <<< Heresy!

So my question is, shouldnt there be less punishment for flaming if someone in your team gets 7x reports after the match and you get 2x?

TL;DR : Tell me why flaming trolls is considered just as bad as flaming in general. You assume that trolls are regular human beings with empathy and feelings? Is ruining the game for others just as bad as saying "bad words"? Where im from we sure dont start crying if people claim we are idiots for some reason.

Because not only does Flaming solves nothing, but now not only does your team have to deal with this person, but the person flaming him. The only concern people should have when playing this game is trying to finish it and win. When you flame you are giving the people who are ruining the game what they want. So why would you want to do that? You ignore them and they will just get more evidence to report them and thus riding them from this game.

Also note people arent crying because of words. They are irritated. Im here to play a game, not babysit some child because someone isnt playing how they believe they should play. In this type of game you are going to win and get some loses. Thats a fact! No one is so perfect in this game that they have zero loses. So why expect people to be playing perfectly every single time? People will get caught out, people will get bullied in lane, some calls will just be poor, but thats the point of becoming good at this game. Learning from your mistakes and improving.
