What it takes to ban feeders ?

I just had a game where Camille had a bad start, he fed up with playing and decided to feed (verbally admitted). Player end up having 2/15. Even he got multiple warnings about being banned he just ignored and kept feeding. He said he will not get banned. I checked his history where he had multiple games like 2/16, 0/8, 1/17, 1/13 etc. Those numbers from the last 5 days and clearly the player didn't get banned. I only can assume he was intentionally feeding back then too but so far he didn't get punished?

Question to RIOT - how do you expect players not to rage when you let feeders play freely even they have admitted themselves they would feed (as it was the case in my game) and probably provoking fellow players to become toxic ?

Right now, a chunk of the inting punishments are dealt manually. Manual reviews are time consuming and the reviewers are severely back logged.

What it really takes improve this is the community to take it easy on feeding reports, instead of calling everyone intentional feeding.

This way Riot would have proper data to work with and can develop better automated measures to catch the real inting behavior.

They simply don't care about it, and ban anyone who dares to flame these trolls.

Welcome to Rito logic!

The issue is that it's hard to differentiate unless it's really obvious and more often than not people will report players that just had a bad game/matchup so there are a tons of reports for feeding that are unjustified.

It's complicated, but basically they don't want to accidentally falsely ban someone who didn't deserve it, so they won't use an automated system for intentional feeders.

It being a manual process means it takes more time to get through it, meanwhile the automated system is faster and more efficient, so you see the appearance of punishing flamers but not trolls, when that isn't Riot's intention at all. They aren't ignoring or not prioritizing it, it's just harder for them to do, and the other side of the system is streamlined and works quickly on its own.
