How weighted are my reports?

Ever since my birthday on Monday, I have turned over a new leaf. I no longer use chat in game (except for one game where I slipped up and said 'gj' after a successful gank and another one where I said 'ward' as I prepared to make a teleport play.. sorry...). Instead, I focus on winning and watching for negative behavior that I can report.

You leave the game? Bam. Reported.

You have an offensive summoner name? Bam, reported.

You flame the team? Bam, reported.

You flame a flamer? Bam, reported.

You tell me to "report xxx for being toxic"? Bam, they're reported, and bam, you're reported too.

Even if I don't agree that something should be reportable (saying "report xxx"), I will still report for it. This last game I played, I reported all four members on my team for negative behavior/unsportsmanlike conduct (two got into a big fight with each other which spilled over to the other two as well.. Not me though, since I don't use chat anymore..). Additionally, one member of the other team had an offensive summoner name, which he was reported for, and another one told us to "report xxx for toxic" so I reported both of them.. 8 of the 10 summoners were reported by me that game, for legitimate reasons. However, I worry that by fully utilizing the report system, I will begin to lose weight on my reports, because of the sheer quantity...

Why are you doing this? Are you on some sort of quest to get every Negative Player™ banned from ever playing the game? Are you trying to create some sort of utopian solo queue in which everyone is nice and sweet (or a mute robot, like you)? It's not ever going to happen. You're swimming upriver against the very nature of humanity and anonymity. Give it a rest. Focus on playing the game and improving your personal performance, not policing the actions of others.

As an additional note, you honestly shouldn't have to apologise for using chat in a useful way. There's nothing wrong with saying "ward" when you want to TP in. There's definitely nothing to apologise for if you're telling someone "gj". I think you've been misdirected into believing that in-game chat is inherently toxic and that it can be cleansed if you try hard enough.

I'm sorry, but summoner 1 only works on CC and Summoner Spell disables.

Reports get weighed based on how many of your reports are"correct" based on tribunal data and your reports matching peer reports I do believe.
