You should distant yourself from him, you don’t need that toxicity in your life.

If you really want to help him, get him to understand why he's flaming others.

Get him to understand the behavioral system. Get him to understand how the match making system. Get him to understand that flaming others won't get them playing better within the same game.

All those things may help him reduce his toxicity. Even if it's just by a bit, it'll him being less toxic overall.

It is the system at fault. Riot's blatant disregard for a basic human right, while they put up the facade that you have it and throw you in the gulag for using it, isn't okay. And certainly there should be no such thing as a permanent gameplay ban for punishments related to chat only.

But we don't have the power to get the system changed. So you have to follow the rules even though they aren't fair.

What I suggest is change the keybinding for chat from Enter to a key he'd never use. Tell him you've done so but not what the key is, and make sure he doesn't check. Just for his own good, he'll learn not to chat at all.

We still have Riven mains? He only needs medical attention for being out of date.

Just tell him like you dont like their system either and its only hurting himself to not follow the rules they have in place. Its not about right or wrong, its about keeping your account. I would include a "drop your ego and do whats best for yourself", but I know that sounds a little too holier than thou or serious/nerdy (if youre young). Its hard to get through to some people without them turning on you out of defensiveness.
