Banning without addressing the issue. Is this really riots way of dealing?

I start a blind pick norm game. I Call adc and notice that the support picks pantheon......and i'm like well whatever it can work i don't dodge. game starts and immediately this guy is trolling super aggressive, Feeding, stealing minions. Multiple times i ask him to not be so aggressive because he keeps feeding and getting me killed as well. The pantheon continually argues with me and curses at me. 20 mins in i try to surrender since its an obviously lost game. And i'm just fed up with this trolling support. Long story short i get banned.

So i'm sitting here reading riots reason for banning me. And i am confused and upset to be honest. These games usually last 35-45 minutes per game and longer sometimes. So your telling .....It is completely ok to verbally abuse people and troll and destroy the gameplay for 4 other people. But if you say something about it or have a problem with it or just decide i'm just going to do whatever i want and not care since its a loss no matter how you look at it. The game is lost and so is my time at that point. Because at the end of the day this is a game and you are supposed to enjoy the game and have fun right? I mean that's what games are for.

Long story short, i'm banned. How is this justified? How am i the bad guy? How does this make sense? I have to be a robot? I can't be upset or fed up with someone who is purposefully wasting my time and causing me to not have fun? Ive been playing this game since it came out. I'm not a streamer, im not a pro, but i enjoy playing this game. This is the first and only time i have been banned from this game. And i feel like the reasoning behind this ban is flawed.

You're totally fine to have emotions and be angry, frustrated and upset. What is a problem is when you take your anger out on others - even if you think they're breaking rules. You are not the judge, jury, or executioner here - you don't get to decide if someone's breaking the rules or not, and you certainly don't get to apply your own punishment to them in the way of flaming them.

Keep in mind that everyone else in the game had to deal with your flaming - multiple innocent players had their game experience ruined by your negativity and toxicity. I also presume that you either used hate speech or have had prior chat restrictions/bans if you were given a ban this time. Riot does not let accounts continue ruining games forever with only a slap on the wrist. If someone is continuously negative, flames repeatedly, or is toxic in multiple games - their account will be escalated through multiple punishments up to a permanent ban if it continues. Toxicity is not okay in League - no matter if you think it's justified or not (hint: Riot and the vast majority of the community think it's never justified).

Nightf0xx: you know how i know you are a noob and don't know how to play your lane

This line in particular strikes me as too much. Everyone has bad games. I can go 0/10 in one game, and 10/0 the next.

What's the point of calling out someone intentionally feeding? It won't make them stop.

Tactical disagreements are not a punishable offense.
